How was it that in WW2 Norway was occupied while Finland could defend itself, mostly, and Sweden didn't give that much of a fuck about either?
odd for two 'we wuz vikings' countries how a land of poor farmers could manage more than them
Finland was allied with Germany, I'm sure that helped a little bit when trying to not be invaded by Germany.

why didn't you ally germany then? seems better than being invaded and shat over by them
>>68397699

It was Germany who sold us out to the Soviets in the first place. The "alliance" came many years later.

Finland borders Russia and had been independent for 20 years by this time and had a civil war right after independence.
Sweden had been independent for hundreds of years and Norway had been so for 35 achieving it peacefully and without a civil war occurring right after. Sweden and Norway and both also been neutral before the world wars and thought they would get to stay so this war as well.
Remember that a lot of other nations had as hard to learn from direct experience, Belgium ditching their alliance with France right before the war started in the belief they would get to stay independent.

No we wouldn't, that's why they invaded
>>68404101
They invaded because they knew else the UK would invade you otherwise which would halt the ore transports going along you coast.

The Russian army was a mess after Stalin murdered half the officers, so the Fins were able to meme them, though they still lost in the end. Swedes just bent over backwards to suck German willy.
