AllRefer.com - Finland - The Cold War and the Treaty of 1948 | Finnish Information Resource By late 1944, Finland's previous policy of antagonism to the Soviet Union had been shown to be counterproductive, because it had nearly led to Finland's extinction as an independent state. The first test of Finland's new policy of reconciliation was thus to observe faithfully the treaty with the Soviets, including the punctual payment of reparations and the establishment of war crimes trials. Finland's growing integration into the world economy was demonstrated by its joining the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT--see Glossary) in 1949. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/finland/finland32.html   (1863 words)

Talk:Finland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'm not sure if the population density of Finland is really that notable, given the precedent that most countries (even those topping the list of the least dense) don't reference this fact in the introduction... The very north of Finland stretches to the Mountains, but the rest of the territory is not in Scandinavia. The ending of the Finland page is slightly misleading because most Finns see Finland primarily as an EU-country instead of a Nordic council country. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Finland   (1267 words)
