• Finland

The original people of Finland is the Saami ethnic group that occupies the northern part from ancient Scandinavia. Their language is a Finno-ugrica (such as Finnish and Hungarian) and non-Indo-European.

The south of the country was inhabited by Germanic tribes to which they are mixed Baltic emigrants, probably from Hungary (from which the Finno-Ugric language). Peaceful, just and politically organized, these tribes came under the dominion of the Swedes who evangelized and colonized the country in the thirteenth century.
Turku, the oldest city of Finland, was founded in 1229 and was created in 1550 Helsinki (Helsingfors in Swedish). Finland was long a battleground between Swedes and Russians, to pass under the Russian rule in the nineteenth century (in the form of a largely autonomous duchy). Taking advantage of the Bolshevik revolution, it was declared independent on 6 December 1917 and only on 4 January 1918 was completely liberated by General Baron Mannerheim. During the Winter War between 1939 and 1940, the Soviets occupied Karelia, a region still under Russian rule
