Finnish Child Soldier and His Dog |
Finland participated in three major battles during World War II. The first two were against the Soviet Union. The last battle was against Germany, which was allied.
As a result of the wars, Finland managed to defend its independence, but it had to transfer about 10% of its territory, including the second largest city, Viipuri. He also had to pay a large amount of war compensation to the Soviet Union. After this loss of land, many Fin residents in the region left their land. -
