DEDICATION
“This book discusses the fight for the independence of Finland as its central theme. However, the relatively short 500-year history of Finland did not take shape in a vacuum. There were many interacting causes, during 400 years under the rule of King of Sweden, followed by 100 years under the Russian Monarchy, with the Grand Duchy of Finland governors, autonomous formality, but progressively working to sideline and Russification of the cultural roots of the Suomi people’s national identity and destiny.”
“Before the King of Sweden started taking an interest in the territory of Finland around 1300 AD, Finnish-language speaking people and other indigenous tribes like the Lapland nomadic Sami peoples had visited and lived during many thousands of years along the shores of the Bothnia Sea, the central lakes, and Lake Ladoga. Along the shore of the Gulf of Finland, to Karelian Isthmus, North Karelia, the early people in the ancient of days were speaking a common language that became to be known as the Suomi language”…………
Chapter 1.
THE LAND
“The Nordic people were born into a natural environment, with a cultural connection to the land and the seasonal cycles of life. From the early beginnings, the children were raised to learn and interact with the natural environment, that stored up lifelong memories of all the seasonal changes. From the hibernating deep snow and ice-covered winters to the awaking of the spring season to the endless sunlight days of the midsummer solstice”…….
CHAPTER 2. STATE OF NATURE
“The state of nature existed for the early inhabitants of the land between the Gulf of Finland and the Bothnian Sea, and along the shore of the Lake Ladoga, freshwater lakes, moss bogs, creeks, and rivers all the way north to the White Sea. Some individual people were more or less in tune with their inner intuitive spiritual being, living amongst the precious resources of the natural environment and the starlit night skies”.
“We cannot even begin to imagine the interactions that a human spirit—the mind and soul— go through when its life is entirely dependent on the provisions that the natural environment provides. People that lived their lives surrounded by the natural living environment, interacting with the life that was so rich everywhere during the spring, summer and autumn season that is what shaped their spirits and personalities. God-given natural life demonstrated through the natural environment; they were the recipients of that life, and they knew it”.
Chapter 3.
Imperial Grand Duchies of Finland 1581.
“An extended Southwest Finland was made a titular grand duchy in 1581, when King John III of Sweden, who as a prince had been the Duke of Finland (1556–1561/63), extended the list of subsidiary titles of the Kings of Sweden considerably. The new title Grand Duke of Finland did not result in any Finnish autonomy, as Finland was an integrated part of the Kingdom of Sweden with full parliamentary representation for its counties”.
Finnish War 1808
The Finnish War fought between the Kingdom of Sweden and the Russian Empire from February 1808 to September 1809. As a result of the war, the eastern third of Sweden established as the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland within the Russian Empire.
Emperor Nicholas II
Nicholas II (1868 – 17 July 1918) was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 15 March 1917. The people of the Russian revolution rejected their Monarchy system.
The People Finland In the Imperial Power Vice.
“The people of Finland grew up on land, located between a rock and a hard place. The two Imperial Superpowers were Sweden on West side of the Bothnia Sea, and Russia on the East side of Lake Ladoga and the Neva River. Both Imperial superpowers have influenced, intimidated, invaded, educated and betrayed trust with the people and the government of Finland over the last 500 years. These two-imperial superpowers were not equal; they have a very different history, cultural values, and national identity.”
“The two Imperial superpowers also had different ambitions, inclinations, prejudices, dispositions, and motives in invading the people of the Nordic countries.”
“It is refreshing to think how Sweden has managed to stay within their national skin. The Soviet Union was not able to stay within their Russian national skin, almost like a giant snake eating up others outside their borders, and always restless, and never satisfied or settled. The ability to stay within one’s skin takes self-control. There has to be the ability to see some good in what they have. They have acquired vast natural resources, mostly from indigenous peoples lands. What is Moscow if all the indigenous people like Sami people of the Kola Peninsula and the Sami people of Siberia and further East were given their original ancestral lands back?”
