No Flag for You
The Danish flag is the oldest one in the world still in use, and pretty much nothing is known about how it came to be. According to the myth the Danes were fighting the Estonians in Estonia and were about to lose, so the Danes called upon God and asked him for help. Then a flag fell from the sky and a heavenly voice said that the Danes would win under this flag.
Thanks to that story is has become a popular joke in Denmark that God was trying to give the flag to the Estonians (it fell into their country after all) and the Danes just snatched it.
But it would seem that something did indeed happen in that war, because the Latvians have a very similar flag from the same period, so flag-interested people suspect that there might be some kind of link.
Non the less, Estonia was once again left out.

I wonder how Georgia feels about England stealing their flag.

The legend with the Latvian flag is similar to the Austrian flag. The legend goes, that a Latvian chief from the mid 1200-1300s was wounded in battle. He was put onto a white cotton sheet. His blood covered both sides of the sheet, except where he was laying. The next battle, the Latvians carried the bloody sheet into battle as a flag.

"And for second, if the Estonians weren't Slavic, then why did they join the Soviet Union?"
Indeed, and when estonians were dragged to the animal wagons to be transported to Siberia, why didn't they call the police?
[link]
And why were the "election" results of the "joining" made public in Moscow one hour before the end of the official "election"? Perhaps because Tallinn was in a different time zone than Moscow? Soviets vowed to never make that mistake again and transferred the Baltics to the Moscow time zone. Perhaps there is your answer.
Or perhaps your answer lies in the admission from Gorbachev and the Soviet Congress that MRP secret protocols existed and that MRP was void from the start? That admission, by the way, was extorted out from Gorbachev by the Estonian and Baltic political leaders by threatening to make public who sanctioned the Tbilisi Massacre in 1989. The Soviet Congress never grasped what hit them, and Kremlin has had a bad hangover ever since - even admitting that it (admitting MRP and the collapse of the USSR) was the largest disaster of the 20th century.
Estonians are not slavic.
Northern russians have finno-ugric roots.
Estonians continue to resist the assimilation by the indo-european borgs, be it russians, germans, balts or anyone. Who knows, Estonians might be even the Neos of the Matrix Overloaded, where your attempts at assimilating the last of the finno-ugrians backfires and you explode back to your former non-indo-european self - that is what you russians in Kremlin fear the most, don't ya?

"I recently looked at a map of Estonia (see earlier this thread). The place names it shows reminded me quite strongly of Finnish placenames, and a bit of Swedish ones. I'm not saying that Estonians are Swedes or Finns, just that they all use similarish placenames."
Indeed. That is the legacy of the common saami-finnic-Pitted ware - whoever lived in south-central Sweden and Norway before the indo-european dialects showed up.
The Kuola + vuori mountains.
The järvi / järv / järve / jaure / javrre;
The -joki / -jõgi / jogen/ -joen/ -jorn/ -jo/
One can go east as far as western Siberia and find similar placenames.
Even the vuori / voore / veere / vere could have a common macro root word with fjord. The verb 'veerema' (to veer) refers to a nonzero first derivative surface, more commonly known as a slope - where round stones roll down and gather no moss.
Rolling e-stonians
The mountaintops and flat areas around the mountains have zero first derivatives, so that is why these places have similar names as well.
And steep cliffs, where the first derivative is infinite.

And that's why most Estonians don't believe in God any more XD We never got a winner flag from him/her/it, so wee had to make one ourselves.
