The #WinterWar, i.e., the #Soviet invasion of #Finland, ended on #ThisDayInHistory in 1940 with the signing of the #MoscowPeaceTreaty. This cost Finland half of #WestKarelia (#EastKarelia was already in Russia). It was in #Karelia that most folk tales in the #Kalevala were found.

De Finse Morane-Saulnier M.S.406. De Finnen wisten altijd het maximale uit hun vliegtuigen te halen. In de periode november 1939 - september 1944 schoten Finse MS 406-jagers 118 vijandelijke vliegtuigen neer, terwijl ze zelf 15 vliegtuigen verloren.

Finland only gained independence from its neighbour in 1917 and which last fought off invaders from the east in the #WinterWar of 1939-40!

Exactly 86 years ago, the #USSR invaded #Finland after a #FalseFlag operation. They started the #WinterWar because the #Soviets and the #Nazis were rewarded for the #invasion of #Poland.

Today, the #Trump administration wants to #reward #Russia for the invasion of #Ukraine. 1/2

Just a reminder of the consequences of russian attack on Finland in the #WinterWar that started on the 30th of november 1939. russians know better, now, than to attack Finland. BEst guarantee of peace for Ukraine is to make russia feel a "Leningrad moment", like Finns did.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1939, the #WinterWar began. A massive invasion of #Finland by the #SovietUnion, it was launched by Stalin to regain lands lost during the #RussianRevolution. It forced Finland to cede 12% of its territory and unfortunately to ally for a time with Nazis.

2022-03-02: Early on, I became concerned about the similarities between the 1939 #WinterWar and the Kremlin's full scale invasion of #Ukraine. Sad to say, we didn't learn enough from history.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1939, the #SovietUnion staged a #FalseFlag attack with the #ShellingOfMainila. Soviet artillery fired seven shots at a Russian village near the border with #Finland, then blamed the Finns for doing it. This gave pretext to invade in the #WinterWar.

My turn on the @OrendaBooks #BlogTour of #TheWinterWarriors by #OlivierNorek #Finland #WinterWar #WW2 November, 1939. A conscription officer arrives in the peaceful farming village of Rautjärvi. The Soviet Union has invaded, and for the first time in its history as an independent country, Finland is at war.
