When I think about it, they seem to have more differences than similarities.

Lithuaniia and Latvia are both Baltic-speaking but one is Catholic and the other one Protestant (except for SE Latvia).

Estonia is Protestant but Finnic-speaking instead of Baltic-speaking.

Estonia was under Swedish domination, Latvia under German & Polish domination and Lithuania had its own empire.

What are the similarities that unite them into the concept of "Baltic states"?
