The
Maapäev (translated as "Day of Land") was the Legislative Assembly of
Estonia from
1917—
1919. During that time Estonia was occupied first by the
Germans, and then by the
Soviet Union. Hence its main function during its short existence was resistance to invading forces, although it did have unchallenged rule for short periods of time. See
history of Estonia.
