Maybe you’re right. I know very little about the history of the baltics, it never came up even once at school. Also news coverage about it is lackluster at best.
Do you have any specific events/timeperiods I should look into?
Idk, maybe the collapse of Yugoslavia? Perhaps the Ottoman rule and aftermath. Different religions tied to different cultures as a deviding factor seem to stand out to me

The Baltics have nothing to do with Yugoslavia or the Ottoman Empire. This surprised me too and I have no ready explanation.
The Baltics and Balkan are two different places fyi.
Try looking up the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Baltic countries were doing great* before that shit.
*Well, pretty good and a place like Riga was flourishing
