Swedish introduction of revolutionary technological and cultural progress in the form of living in houses and not shitting where you sleep lead to a population boom.

I knew virtually nothing about them (apart from cool uniforms in the Winter War) prior to /int/...

The Finno-Korean hyperwar was the most important event in human history.

Finland was founded under the reign of Ulgarje in 769AD. It was of the Suomeksi religion, pre-Feudal, and earned little gold from taxes. It was a society built on prestige built often from warfare, and rulers would lose prestige if they were peaceful for too long.

Eventually Cuntfaggot Ulgarjeson became a local duke, and after constructing a might runestone held enough faith and prestige to found the Kingdom of Finland in 833.

Finland is virtually absent from history until at least 1150. Supposedly the "First Swedish Crusade" happened but there's no actual evidence.

Highlights of this crusade include an angry mongoloid named Lalli chimps out and mercs an English bishop named Henry with an axe on top of a frozen lake. The ice then cracks and Lalli drowns.

Finland doesn't have an interesting history but it has a pretty interesting archaelogical pre-history.

>first settled by Swiderian and Ahrensburgian hunters when the ice melted in 9000 BC
>Cool moose head staffs
>Comb Ceramic pottery from the Volga arrives in 5000 BC
>Corded Ware culture takes an early presence in Finland by 3000 BC, spreading to Scandinavia through it
>Corded Ware acquires local characteristics by 2200 and becomes Kiukaistenculture
>Kiukaistenculture possibly destroyed by the Seima-Turbino Eurasian nomads in 1600 BC as all signs of it vanish when Seima-Turbino material shows up
>later bronze age Finland is polarized into two zones, a south coast oriented towards Scandinavia and an inland oriented towards the Volga(Saami's ancestors)
>Baltic-Finns finally come from the Volga by the beginning of the iron age in 800 BC and take possession of Estonia, SW Finland and possibly Central Sweden which has the same archaeological material(Mälaren axes, Tarand graves, Morby-Ilmandu pottery)
>Finland continues to be sparsely inhabited until 200 AD when a new type of Tarand grave tradition arrives from Estonia and the population starts to grow and settle in the Saami tribes territories
>year 535–536 weather catastrophe causes a population bottleneck
>merovingian and viking ages result in an increasingly militarized culture centered around hillforts

When did this happen?

>>2532255
Since 1920. Mannerheim wasnt even hiding.

>Swedes bringing culture

Check that meme out

Sidenote: Great Schism -> Northern Crusades. Pope urges Swdes before Novgorod seizes control. Karelian lands split in half in process.

Finland had about 10% of the parishes compared to Scandinavia so it was a potential place for some invasion.

>>2530758
its history is intertwined with sweden's at least 500 years or so. it was treated pretty well compared to, say, the irish by the british or the balts by the germans.

How could it be a British puppet when they declared war on Finland?
