Excerpt from The American Educator, Vol. 7 of 8: Completely Remodelled and Rewritten From Original Text of the New Practical Reference Library, With New Plans and Additional Material

The town was founded in 1201, and from an early period had a strong German element in the population. The oldest part of the city has the appearance of a medieval German town. Because of its proximity to Petrograd, Riga has frequently been an objective point in military operations. During the World War it was several times bombarded, and, in 1917, after the collapse of Russia, it was captured by the Germans without resistance. The defeat of Germany a year later again changed the situation, but the city soon fell a prey to the Bolshevik army of Lenine. In the spring of 1919 Lettish troops, with the assistance of German forces, drove out the Bolsheviks. Population, 1913.
