Latvian national awakening

The Latvian National Awakening (Latvian: latviešu [or latvju] tautas atmoda) refers to three distinct but ideologically related National revival movements:

  • the First Awakening refers to the national revival led by the Young Latvians from the 1850s to the 1880s,
  • the Second Awakening or "New Current" was the movement that led to the proclamation of Latvian independence in 1918
  • the Third Awakening was the movement that led to the restoration of Latvia's independence in the "Singing Revolution" of 1987–1991
