Description

Finland's involvement during WW2 was limited. On November 30th 1939, during what is now known as the Winter War, the Soviet Union invaded the land it previously owned, resulting in heavy casualties on their side compared to the relatively low casualties on the Finnish side. (25,904 killed or missing, 43,557 wounded for Finland, 126,875 dead or missing, 188,671 wounded for the Red Army)

Despite being greatly outnumbered and lacking both armor and air support, Finland's army managed to push back the massive, but badly equipped and commanded Soviet army. The Moscow Peace Treaty was finally signed, putting an end to the slaughter and resulting in Finland giving away 11% of its territory and 30% of its economic assets while keeping its independance.

All in all, Finland kicked ass.
