To nitpick, the Estonian and Latvian Nations have existed for almost 1000 years.

The Nation-states are not that old, but there are many young nation-states in Europe.

And, Estonia and Latvia existed as independent nations in 1918-1940 (when they were left to the Soviet sphere of influence when Hitler and Stalin split up their spoils.)
