Estonia briefly had diplomatic presence in Washington between the two World Wars. Ambassador Ants Piip landed today in 1923 (94 years ago) and he resided at 1618, 18th St NW.
Ambassador Piip stayed until the end of 1925 when the Embassy was closed due to difficult financial circumstances.
On April 26, 1940, a decision was made to reopen the Embassy, but the illegal annexation of Estonia by the Soviet Union stopped this project.
