The Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were the first to declare their independence from the Soviet Union in 1990 and played a significant role in the sovereignty movements that led to the breakup of the USSR. They were followed by other republics such as Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Moldova.
