How many of the the last 800years has Estonia been occupied by a foreign power?

We visited Estonia to earn from some very successful hearing-deaf partnerships there.

We learnt much from the deaf couples, projects and supporters (pictured) we met in Talinn, Estonia. We had no common spoken language at all. All we had was our native sign-languages, i.e. British, Estonian and Russian! Yet communication was quite easy, and so much fun too.
The Estonian sign for England is not one many Brits. would have chosen!Estonia’s 20th Century history is unbelievable.. We’ve invited them over next year.

(Ans. to Q1: about 700 years)
