History of Finland
Finland is one of the Nordic countries located in Northeastern Europe. It shares a border with Sweden, Norway, and Russia. It also shares a water border with Estonia. Although it is the 8th largest country in Europe, it is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the continent, with most of the population located in the Southern portion of the country. This is mainly due to the climate, which is extremely cold the further north you travel. After being part of both Sweden and Russia for a large portion of its history, Finland became its own nation following the Russian Revolution in 1917. Unfortunately, Finland suffered through a civil war a year later as half the population remained loyal to Russia, while the other half was supported by Germany. Finland became an independent nation shortly before World War II.
One of the more forward thinking countries in the world, Finland became the 2nd country in the world to grant all of its adult citizens the right to vote in 1906, and also granting all of its citizens the opportunity to run for public office. That being said, Finland did not embrace industry until the 1950s, much later than a lot of similar nations. Finland is considered to be among the world leaders in education, quality of life, civil liberties, and economic competiveness.
