About United Baltic Duchy

The United Baltic Duchy was a short-lived client state of the German Empire during the final stages of World War I, proclaimed by political leaders of local Baltic Germans in regions of Courland, Livonia and Estonia, but never fully realized. It was established on 5 November 1918 in Riga, while those regions were still under the military occupation of the Imperial German Army. The newly proclaimed state was headed by the Regency Council, presided by baron Adolf Pilar von Pilchau. The throne was offered to duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg, who remained in Germany and never took over the throne. Since Germany lost the War by 11 November, the newly created national states of Estonia and Latvia emerged in the region, and the Regency Council was abolished already on 28 November, thus marking the end of the attempted creation of a united state in the Baltics.
