People's Council of Latvia

The People's Council of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Tautas padome; LTP) was a temporary council which declared Latvia's independence on November 18, 1918 and then acted as the temporary parliament of the country until a Constitutional Assembly was elected. The People's Council was formed on November 17, 1918 as a result of merging two councils of Latvian organizations: Latvian Provisional National Council (Latvian: Latvijas Pagaidu Nacionālā padome, LPNP) and the Democratic Bloc.
