The Battle of Cēsis, in which Latvians and Estonians inflicted defeat on German troops in June 1919, was a crucial event in the Latvian War of Independence.

Latvian- Estonian memorial to the battles of Cēsis (Wenden)

The battles of Cēsis were one of the decisive battles in the War of Independence of Latvia. The battles took place in June 1919 between units of the Estonian army and the 2nd Latvian Infantry Regiment of the Northern Latvian Brigade in the one hand and the Baltic Landeswehr and the Iron Division on the other.

From the students of Cēsis and Valmiera schools, a group of students of the Cēsis Regiment was created to supply the only 300 soldiers strong 2nd Cēsis Regiment before the above mentioned Estonian & Latvian troops managed to reach Cēsis.

The battles of Cēsis ended with the victory of the combined Estonian and Latvian forces and proved as a critical moment in the War of Independence by stopping and repelling the German offensive and turning it into a counterattack.
