Book Description
This second edition presents the reader with a clear and concise summary of Finnish history and geography. It traces the historical development of the country from its settlement by the Finns in the first millenium AD, exploring Finland's earlier connection with Sweden, the complex relationship with Russia, the post-war achievements of the second republic, and discusses the impact of the break-up of the Soviet Union on Finland and brings events up to the country's admission to the European Union in 1995.
