Aftermath of World War I
The decisions of the 1917 congresses and the declaration of independence on November 18, 1918, with Latgale as part of the Latvian state, moved both the military of Latvia as well as local partisans to struggle for the liberation of Latgale.

On June 10, 1919 the Lithuanian army reached the territory controlled by the partisan (Green Guard).
