2:40 Correction: Wilhelm II abdicated on the 9th of November, not October.

Very interesting and well made video! i've been looking for videos on this subject for a while since in school they went past this month.

If only Friedrich... If only......

Pretty good finnish pronunciation, and a very good channel. Just watched the automaton video and it was awesome.

"A bit rusty" Most people are bit a rusty at finnish :P

True, I'm gonna quit feeling bad about that then :D

Finland was almost always a monarchy, its monarch was the king of Sweden or the emperor of Russia.

No, that was Sweden and Russia. If Finland didn’t exist, they didn’t have a monarchy.

It was a monarchy, but it lacked any native monarchs. The same way that New Zealand is a monarchy, but there are no New Zealand monarchs.

Here's how a descendant of Kaarle I would be had Finland ever kept its monarchy or the Finns wanted their country to be a monarchy. Video by UsefulCharts (with narration by Jack Rackam): kzread.info/dash/bejne/mayl0NpvqqawmJc.html

Finland's strong desire to be ruled by a monarchy - lasted for a very short period; they could not tolerate incompetence atop the social-order. But at least, they stayed true to the mentality of a serfdom; docile, peaceful, compliant, etc. hIgh-taxes, individual-liberties, voting rights, 'free-healthcare', 'free-education' (they take education very seriously), low-unemployment, low-homelessness, low-crime. Also, a ethnically homogeneous nation. Japan also stands as a useful example - same concepts. America on the other hand, everything is opposite in effect, getting opposite results to Finland. Americans rejected the British Monarchy in sum-total. the leader is elected every 4 years! - it should be atleast 5! - do we not count with our fingers in 5's, and 10's? - let's at least try to be consistent - consistency has value... some bone-headed 'Supreme Court Judge' even said: "A President is not a King" - as if they didn't fight a war if independence to be free from the British monarchy! the problem exists whereby a social-order-entity cannot be challenged on a regular basis for their crown/'Supreme-ness'. the latter of which you'd find at least in the natural world...whether it is too often: a lion pride (patriarchy/carnivores), or seldom: a family of elephants (matriarchy/herbivores), through time. this artificial concept that embraces the 'God-theory' (i.e. you get to stay atop the throne to infinity) is still alive-and-well, it is problematic in the American Judiciary, and incumbent politicians; the answer lies in both qualification (whether by popular vote, or nomination), and being able to challenge the 'top-dog'...for the sake of having better leaders. Worst of all, you have all of these ideologies, who's primary basis, is the seizure of power - and the pronouncement of 'Supreme-ness' over the masses.

Finland never had an Idependent history?

Such a shame that this happened. Monarchy is the best goverment system ever created

No monarchy is waste of resources best (UK, Scandinavia) and totalitarian dictatorship at worst (pretty much every other monarchy).
