ENLithuania’s seacoast Latvian (the Kurshes, Kurshininks) historiography of 19231939 specifies the ethnocentrism and political background. Even the objective works of the authors were used for political purposes. Lithuanian-German conflict encouraged a different interpretation of the questions of Klaipėda region settlement, Lithuanian autochthonism, and the Kurshes origin. At the ideological - propaganda level the Kurshes origin whirled around Lithuanian-German competitions and the basis of claim for Klaipėda region. Latvian researchers tend to the problem of the survival of Latvian minority, its preservation and maintenance in an unfamiliar environment.
