Finland was part of the Swedish kingdom for some 650 years until Russia conquered it in 1809. It achieved independence in 1917, but Swedish rule had left a notable Swedish minority, and the country is bilingual even today. In 1939 the Soviet Union attacked Finland, but it was forced to retreat in 1940 and the Moscow peace treaty was signed. In 1941 Finland counterconquered some of the lost areas in Karjala.
