The United Baltic Duchy, or alternatively the "Grand Duchy of Livonia", was the name proposed during World War I by leaders of the local Baltic German nobility for a new monarchical state which, however, never came into existence. The unsuccessful attempt to establish a new German client state on the territory of what is now Latvia and Estonia was made in 1918, during the German occupation of the former Courland, Livonian, and Estonian governorates of the Russian Empire which had ceased to exist after the Bolshevik coup in 1917. The unsuccessful proclamation of a pro-German duchy was first made in April 1918, after the Republic of Estonia had already formally declared full independence from the warring Russian and German Empires.
