Its location between Sweden and Russia kept it at the center of conflict for many years. Its location also meant that for much of its history, it would be ruled by either Sweden or Russia. It has been only in the last 100 years that Finland has enjoyed true independence. The history of people in Finland goes all the way back to when the country was covered in ice. In 8,000 BC, the ice started melting (in the south at first) revealing land suitable for humans. According to Finnish tradition, tribes began moving into Finland around this time. The ancestors of modern-day Finland moved into the area from present-day Russia and Estonia between 3,000 BC and the first century AD.

From the 12th and 13th century itself, Finland made its solid place on the world map, known for the various interesting crusades and for building huge forts. In the late 15th and 16th century, Finland was under the dominant rule of Sweden, which was then considered to be a super power. In 1808-1809, in the Finnish war, Sweden lost to Russia and Finland was also taken away from the domain of Sweden. Finland was made into an autonomous body with an independent legislative system. After gaining an autonomous status, Finland began to make considerable development in the field of industry and even coined its individual currency. The history of Finland does not end here. In 1917, the year of the Russian Revolution, Finland declared itself as an independent nation and Finnish independence was granted on 6th December, 1917.

Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Finland : History The Signal achievement of Finland has been its survival against great oddsagainst a harsh climate, physical and cultural isolation, and international dangers. Finland lies at higher latitudes than any other nation in the world, and the punishing northern climate has complicated life there considerably. Geographically, Finland is on the remote northern periphery, far from the mass of Europe, yet near two larger states, Sweden and Russialater the Soviet Union, which have drawn it into innumerable wars and have controlled its development. The most serious challenges to Finland's freedom came during World War II, when the Finns twice faced attack by overwhelming Soviet forces. They fought heroically, but were defeated both times, and the Soviets were narrowly prevented from occupying and absorbing Finland. Since World War II, the Soviet Union's status as a superpower has meant that it could at any time end Finland's existence as a separate state. Recognizing this, the Finns have sought and achieved reconciliation with the Soviets, and they have tenaciously pursued a policy of neutrality, avoiding entanglement in superpower conflicts. The long era of peace after World War II made possible the blossoming of Finland as a modern, industrialized, social-welfare democracy. By the 1980s, the intense social conflicts of previous decades were largely reconciled, and the nation's relationships with other nations were apparently stable.
