]Diplomatic Relations
- A treaty is agreed upon between Germany and Latvia for the evacuation of Germans from the Baltic regions.
- The USSR has imposed treaties of 'mutual assistance' on each of the three Baltic states, 'allowing' the Soviets to establish military bases in Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
- The Soviet Union creates a puppet Finnish government in Moscow under the leadership of a Finnish communist exile, Otto Kuusinen.
