How did Estonia describe the legal status of the Soviet rule of 1940 to 1991?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. An illegal occupation
- Step 1: Many Western states never recognised the annexation. Step 2. On this view the republic of 1918 continued to exist in law, and 1991 was a restoration. Answer: An illegal occupation. Why not the others: The other descriptions do not match the facts of 1940.
