As a Finn I really appreciate you going for the proper pronounciation of words how they'd be said in Finnish

Much love to our northern brothers and sisters, from Estonia :)
I am Swedish and my great father (my grandfather's father) was one of a thousand Swedish volunteers who traveled to Finland's front lines during World War II and fought with our Finnish brothers.

@@malolelei3937 Ok I guess I get that. Where are you from btw? But yeah Sweden helped us immensely with the weaponry they sent us and with the volunteers and we really do appreciate that. And also while we were ruled my Sweden us Finns were never treated that bad and there had been only one instance of rebellion against the Swedish crown by Finns even through they ruled over us for more than 700years. We kind of see Sweden as an annoying brother I guess. But yeah thanks for asking it’s nice that someone’s interested in Finland in that way considering our insignificance :D
Great, I am happy for Finns having a nice and free country! Finnish language is a gem! Greetings from Transylvania (from Seklerland)!
Ahh finland one of my favourite countries, great vid!!
I am from Ukraine and someone told me that Finland's history is similar to us, so I'm here (all our troubles are from our common neighbour). I wish I knew about you earlier. Hope I could visit Finland one day❤️

tbh, finnish and ukrainian history is not very similar at all. The only shared thing is that russia has attacked and occupied both

That's actually awesome, I want to do that same thing one day.
Fine pronounciation. Good work overall.
We have enjoyed this brief, yet very informative history lesson.
Great video! No major errors and most of the basics were covered. I also appreciate that you put time in learning the pronunciation
Finally, my home country...
With so many KZread videos these days being stretched to 15 minutes while their entire content could be stated in five sentences, it is a breath of fresh wind to see Mr History doing the exact opposite - and doing it so incredibly well. I think I'll spend several days going through these Super Quick History -videos. Thank you!
As a Fin, I must correct one thing. That Turku fire did happen, but was not the reason the capitol was switched over to Helsinki. Those events were merely happening around the same time frame. Capitol was changed in 1812 and Turku fire happened at 1827, so the fire could not have been the reason. The real reason was, that Russians did not like the fact that Finland's capitol Turku was so close by to their mortal enemy Sweden, so they moved it.
Learning everything I can about this beautiful country! Also singing you guy’s language is freaking hard! Like so many Rs to roll and then breaking up the the syllables AND singing fast! 😂
I've been grooving lately on a Finnish band named Amorphis, who's first album was titled The Karelian Isthmus - first rate musicians!!!

Amazing video. Truly underrated channel.
This channel deserves more subscribers. Thanks for the great vid!

As a finn, i say this is a mostly correct high-quality viddo. Great work!
Great episode
Beautiful story about Finland. Thank you
Correction, Helsinki was made Finland's capital about 15 years before the great fire of Turku.
This was so interesting, thank you for making history this fun!
Pretty interesting, glad to watch it!
Awesome, thanks for this information..God bless. ..
I just wanted to add that Finland never was some backwater colony of sweden, it was very much part of sweden for hundreds of years. And yes, pretty much everyone not noble in sweden at the time was a poor miserable sob.

Thank you for the quick history lesson as an American of Finnish descent. I know almost nothing of my grandfather's ancestorial homeland. Other than the Winter War my great grandfather came to America in 1911 And that he was part of the Sammie people.
This is great! Glad someones interested in our weird corner of Europe
They make some great metal music that’s for certain
0:36 Finnish 🇫🇮 is a Finno-Ugric language, which are found from Scandinavia to Siberia - and also Hungarian 🇭🇺 in central Europe!
In Finland we have a joke about Swedish war heros...not so many pages in that book...But that is true that there was about 8000 swedes fighting for Finland. Thank you...
Love Finland from Greece 🇬🇷 🤝🇫🇮
2:49 correction: the fennomanic movement was by vast majority swedish. Finnish people weren't interested

Great pronunciation!

It'll be a tough one but do India . Great video!
about swedish crusades in finland, i think historians today say it was more just colonized slowly by traders and swedish settlers rather than a crusade. probably swedish nationalist historians back in the day exaggerated the colonization by describing it as a dramatic and honorful crusade
I love the Finn's infact they're my favorite Nordic country and my third European country 💚💚😁😁 one love to them ✝️✝️✅
There is also an annual wife carrying championship!
I must just add the point that Finland was not an opressed part of Sweden. It was as much a natural part of Sweden as other swedish territories outside Stockholm like Dalarna or Härjedalen. Even more than some I would argue, since the southern parts of Sweden were added much later in history and the people there rebelled before giving up their danish identity. For sweden the loss if Finland in 1809 was traumatic, as it was a natural part of the country, not by any means a colony. This can for example be seen in the swedish commander von Döbelns speach to the finnish troops of the swedish army who were about to return to a now russian Finland after the peace treaty and the swedish loss of Finland. "...Finns! Brothers! If my words could be cealed with tears from my eyes, they would fall like a stream, and each drop assure you of my reverence, my friendship."

At first there were only the three tribes but now there are five who are the savonians and the ostrobothnians
The nobles of Finland were Finns as well, not "Swedish nobles ruling over poor Finns"...

Your pronounciation isn't that bad I thought.
Well, "Sweden" didn't exactly meddle because Sweden didn't exist back then as it does today. But ok, I get that this is a simplification to get on with the story.

Finland joined the EU in 1.1.1995.
One significant story was left from video. 1700-1721 war in which Russia killed entire villages in parts of Finland (some even claim that 1/3rd of Finns were killed in those 21 years) and took probably even as many as 30,000 people as slaves and some of them were sold to Turkey & Persia.
