  Gustavs Zemgals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gustavs Zemgals (August 12, 1871–January 6, 1939) was a Latvian politician and the second president of Latvia.
In 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War, Zemgals was mobilised and sent to the front, where he spent a year and a half and was promoted to the rank of captain.
Cakste, Zemgals and several other people from the government went to Copenhagen on a British warship, but Zemgals returned to Latvia just two months later, where he tried to restore the Tautas Padome, but Zemgals along with a group of loyal politicians was arrested by the German army.

 Central Europe Review - Latvia: The outgoing President
After the long gap during the Soviet occupation from 1940 to 1991 (excluding 1941-44, when Latvia fell under Nazi occupation), the foundations of the office established by the four presidents of the Interwar years needed to be re-established.
Latvia's first president, Janis Cakste (1922-27), established the prestige of the office for his successor, Gustavs Zemgals (1927-30).
However, the inactivity of the third president, Alberts Kviesis (1930-36), in reacting to the authoritarian rule of then-Prime Minister Karlis Ulmanis in 1934 remains a question.

 A short history of Latvia
Poland's successes during the Livonian Wars (1558-83) unite the Latvian-populated duchies of Pardaugava, Kurzeme and Zemgale, but the Polish-Swedish War (1600-29) grants Sweden acquisition of Riga and the Pardaugava, minus Latgale, leaving Latvia again split ethnically.
