A brief introduction to the Sufen war
"Introduction to the Sufen War" records that this war is also known as the winter war. 1939, only three months after the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Union brazenly launched a military operation to invade Finland. Western countries, led by Britain and France, are too busy dealing with Hitler and Germany to take care of Eastern Europe. We can only express our solidarity with Finland and our strong dissatisfaction with the Soviet Union in a meaningless way by removing the Soviet Union from the League of Nations.
The brief introduction of the Soviet-Finnish war pointed out that at the beginning of the war, Stalin claimed to win the war before the end of 1939. However, the Finnish people stubbornly resisted the Soviet Union for national independence, and a series of tragic battles took place between the two sides. Finally, the two sides signed an armistice agreement in March 1940, and Finland was forced to cede one-tenth of its territory to the Soviet Union. In this war, both the Soviet Union and Finland suffered great losses. Finland lost the land around Lake Ladoga, and the country's territorial sovereignty was seriously trampled. The Soviet Union achieved its strategic goal and won a buffer zone for the Soviet people near Leningrad. Even if there is a war in the future, the Soviet army can respond in time. However, the aggression against weak countries completely deprived the Soviet Union of international public opinion support.
Moreover, this war fully demonstrated the characteristics and shortcomings of the Red Army's operations. This made Germany pay attention to it, which is also the reason why Hitler was able to attack the Soviet Union smoothly in the Soviet-German War. The brief introduction of the Sufen War also mentioned that when the Sufen Peace Agreement was signed, the Soviet Union asked the Anglo-French alliance to stop supporting Finland through Norway. Under the military pressure of the Soviet Union, Britain and France can only agree. This greatly stimulated Hitler's ambition in Germany, and only one month later, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway on a large scale.
The Historical Background of the Soviet-Finnish War
The Sino-Finnish war broke out at the end of 1939, after the outbreak of World War II. The cause of the war was the armed invasion of Finland by the Soviet Union at that time. The Sino-Finnish war lasted for more than three months. Although the Soviet Union won the war, it also suffered great losses. What is the background of the Sino-Finnish war?
The background of the Soviet-Finnish war was complicated, and Finland was adopted as a vassal state by Russia in the early17th century. After the October Revolution, the Finnish government declared independence. Since then, the relationship between Sufen and Finland has been very weak, and the Finnish rebels supported by the Soviet Union were eliminated by the Finnish government. Finland is close to the Soviet capital. Stalin was worried that Germany would use Finland as a springboard to attack the Soviet Union, so Sufen signed a non-aggression treaty, which was confirmed to be valid for ten years after 1934. 1938, Su Fen negotiated again, hoping to fight Germany together, but the year-long negotiations did not make substantial progress, and the situation in Europe at this time was not optimistic.
1939 At the end of August, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression treaty, secretly dividing up countries in Eastern Europe, and Finland was allocated to the Soviet Union in the treaty. In early September of the same year, the Soviet Union and Germany surrounded Poland and carved it up. At the same time, Sufen negotiated again, and the conditions put forward by the Soviet Union in the negotiations were rejected by Finland on the spot. In June 5438+065438+ 10 of the same year, Finland offered a condition of less relative benefits, which the Soviet Union refused to accept. Subsequently, the Soviet Union launched a war and abolished the treaty, which made the relationship between Sufen and Finland deteriorate completely. The Soviet Union began to attack Finland in 1939. Due to the stubborn resistance of the Finnish people, the war continued until 1940. In this war, Sufen suffered losses, Finland lost part of its territory, and the Soviet Union lost the support of international public opinion. The above is an introduction to the background of the Soviet-Finnish war.
Who won the Sufen War?
The Soviet-Finnish War is a controversial and influential war, and both sides paid a certain price, also known as the winter war. During World War II, this war had special significance and far-reaching influence. So who won the Sufen War? What was the result of this war between small countries and big countries?
The result of this war was Finland's defeat and the Soviet Union's narrow victory. Although Finland was forced to accept the demands of the Soviet Union, it dealt a heavy blow to the strength of the Soviet Red Army to some extent and made the Soviet Union lose the support of international public opinion. Although Finland is short of personnel, weapons and ammunition, the army is well-trained, especially the air force, which has a solid basic training and is in line with international standards at ordinary times. In contrast, the Soviet Red Army has greatly exposed its weaknesses and shortcomings, and all the shortcomings have been reflected. The Soviet-Finnish war had a great influence. No matter who wins the Sino-Finnish war, the result will affect the European war situation at that time. Finland is in the middle, with Germany on the left and the Soviet Union on the right. The special geographical position makes Finland an important part of the European battlefield in World War II.
Due to the pain and suffering caused by the Sino-Finnish war, Finland's anti-Soviet sentiment was greatly promoted, and the country was unable to host the Olympic Games. The preparations for the 12 Olympic Games were interrupted, and Finland offered to give up. The answer to the question of who won the Sino-Finnish war is that the Soviet Union won, which indirectly affected the pattern of Europe in World War II. Finland, which was in a neutral state, took a stand, and the late pro-German behavior was also one of the reasons why the two sides continued to fight after the war. However, because the Soviet Union snatched the Hanko Peninsula in Finland, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, it indirectly prevented Germany from entering the Soviet Union and promoted the Soviet Union's victory in World War II.
