The Tartu Peace Treaty was signed on February 2, 1920, between Estonia and Soviet Russia. This agreement marked the end of the Estonian War of Independence and recognized Estonia's sovereignty, establishing its borders and ensuring peace between the two nations. The treaty was significant as it was one of the first international agreements acknowledging the independence of Estonia. It also laid the groundwork for future diplomatic relations and was a crucial step in the broader context of post-World War I territorial changes in Eastern Europe.
