Estonians
Estonians are an ethnic group primarily associated with Estonia and speakers of the Finnic Estonian language.
Emigration
During World War Two, when Estonia was invaded by the Soviet Army in 1944, large numbers of Estonians fled their homeland on ships or smaller boats over the Baltic Sea. Many of those refugees who survived the risky sea voyage to Sweden and Germany, later moved on from there and settled in Canada, United States and Australia. Some of these refugees and their descendants returned to Estonia after the nation regained its independence in 1991.
