The Treaty of Tartu refers to two separate treaties, one signed in 1920 and another in 1921, between Soviet Russia and Estonia.
Treaty of Tartu (1920): This treaty was signed on February 2, 1920, and it marked the end of the Estonian War of Independence (1918–1920) between Estonia and Soviet Russia. The treaty recognized the independence of Estonia and its territorial integrity. It delineated the new border between Estonia and Soviet Russia. The city of Tartu was chosen as the location for the signing of the treaty. The Treaty of Tartu of 1920 played a crucial role in establishing diplomatic relations between Estonia and the Soviet state.
Treaty of Tartu (1921): Another Treaty of Tartu was signed on October 30, 1921, but this time it was between Soviet Russia and Finland. This treaty recognized Finland's independence from Soviet Russia and established the eastern border between the two countries.
Both treaties were part of the broader diplomatic efforts following World War I and the Russian Civil War, as various nations sought to establish or adjust their borders and diplomatic relations in the aftermath of these conflicts.
