hierarchical_section_title: Nordic identity in Estonia
context_page_description: Nordic identity in Estonia refers to opinions that Estonia belongs among the Nordic countries or that it should/will be considered as such in the future. The current mainstream view outside of Estonia does not usually include it among them. Categorizing Estonia as a Nordic country is common in Estonia.
  A push towards being defined as a Nordic country has existed in independent Estonia since the war of independence in 1918. The Scandinavian connection from the Estonian Viking Age and later from being a part of the Danish and Swedish Empires left a lasting influence on the creation of the Estonian identity during the national awakening.
