For centuries different useful plants were grown in Finland, like Hemp, millet, rye, barley and wheat...

For centuries different useful plants were grown in Finland, like Hemp, millet, rye, barley and wheat, but at one point an order came from Sweden: everyone should grow wheat, so that the Swedish elite could get some wheat for themselves from the taxes. And Finns suffered from famine for many years, since the population depended on the mentioned useful pants in addition to wheat. And if a Finn grew "the wrong grains", the harvest was destroyed, or taken to Sweden as a fine.

Finland was quite famous for producing tar for Europe. Tar was used in ships during the colonial times, and was considered a resource that Finland had. But Finns themselves did not gain from the tar production, as it was ordered all tar to be sold through Stockholm. Basically what this meant, was that Finns were allowed to keep their cut from the tar production, but most were taken to Sweden as taxes, and sold forward into Europe for a fine price.

Furs were a luxury product, that at the time could have been compared to diamonds. The times when the Swedes couldn't get what they wanted, during the nights darkest hours they went and burned the Finn's fur stock. With one piece of fur you could have bought all the needs for a functioning farm. This is why fur pieces, especially squirrel's fur was used as currency along with gold and silver during pagan times and for some time even during the Swedish reign.

And then we all wonder: "Why everything always is, and has been richer and greater in Sweden, than in here? (cont)

Finns' holy groves and sites were chosen to be places for churches to be built, so that Finns couldn't perform their traditions there. Most of these old churches still stand on these old grounds, and the ground can't be studied as they are church ground, and thus "protected".

During Swedish reign, a land-owning peasant was obligated to equip and maintain one cavalryman (a Hakkapeliitta) and was spared from additional taxes, assigned to everyone else. And then these soldiers were sent to fight along side infantry wars for the Swedes all over Europe. No commendation were given at the time, only that Swedes gained more land to rule over from other Balto-Finnic lands, such as Estonia, Livonia and Ingria. (cont)

When Finns migrated to Sweden as settlers, pioneers or other workers, they were treated as a lesser race, and even speaking Finnish in the presence of Swedes was considered insulting. Swedes systematically destroyed Finnish farms in Northern Sweden, livestock and other livelihood. Same story follows into the New World, or better known as America. These ungrateful dickheads taught other colonial settlers in America how bad this hard working and faithful nation was. It was their own arrogance of course, they were successful at subjugating us with the help of the Vatican after centuries of battles.

It was only after Russia had conquered Finland from Sweden, when blooming of our country and nation began. Land and agriculture were developed, we got our own currency, the right to go to school with our own language, autonomy and finally our independence. Even to this day Swedes are bitter and angry to us because of it, hate it when we fought on their side and lost. They force their culture and language down our throats. They can laugh and make fun of Finns, but no to anyone else, otherwise it would be racism, which in turn along with eugenics and racial pseudo-science, is a Swedish invention.

During Winter War Finnish and Karelian refugees even had to sell their wedding rings to Fenno-Swedes, so that they'd something to eat. Sure some did weaved some socks and even did send some volunteers to the front, but those were only individuals, most with some Finnish heritage in them. The Swedish government denied any military or political help and intervention for Finland, since "they were neutral". In other words: they were too scared of the Soviets to do anything. Some Fenno-Swedes ran into Sweden, who knows how many (though some staid and fought), but after the war didn't let any displaced Finnish and Karelian refugees into their lands, because of their "Fenno-Swedish national identity would be endangered". And this very same thing continues to this day with Swedish schools, officials, political party, and even the right to demand service in Swedish from a public institution, here in Finland.

Fenno-Swedish foundations (who don't pay taxes to Finland) get support from Sweden, which they use to gain power here,. They support people and agendas that drive for their own gain. They do not care about Finns, only about their position in Finland. They are the worlds biggest hypocrites, as they "denounce and oppose racism", even though that's exactly what they practice against Finns. They are racists and the representatives of the legacy of apartheid-politics, and are not willing to accept and acknowledge this.

They have well deserved the mess they are in right now with Muslims and other liberal bullshit they are now in. I will gladly watch country and nation crash hand burn, as in a few decades there will be no Sweden left. Karma truly is a bitch.

wtf I hate Sweden now!

no one is gonna read that pekka

you should and that must be shown for all swedish kids in schools
you dumb piece of shit

dont get uppity with me faggot

Pay reparations

>To Sweden as taxes.
Considering Finland was a part of Sweden, one of the four parts of our country(Svealand, Götaland, Norrland and Österland-Finland) and not a colony it was simply taken to the capital - not another country. Every part of Sweden has been abused and taken advantage of by the people in the capital, which usually happens in every country with a strong political centre.
A Swedish peasant in Småland did not become rich from Finnish tar.
>most with some Finnish heritage in them

And furthermore, Swedish-Finnish relations were very cool in the early 20th century. We had no alliance, no responsibility for your country at all yet we sent you

>135,402 rifles, 347 machine guns, 450 light machine guns with 50,013,300 rounds of small arms ammunition;
>144 field guns, 100 anti-aircraft guns and 92 anti-armour guns with 301,846 shells;
>300 sea mines and 500 depth charges;
>17 fighter aircraft, 5 light bombers, 1 DC-2 transport aircraft turned into bomber, and 3 reconnaissance aircraft, totally comprising 1/3 of the Swedish air force

And we were not a country that was in a position to send more.
>Swedish military strength was at one of its low points due to the grand disarmament of 1925. The rearmament program decided in 1936 hadn't yet had any substantial effect on the armed forces. The army only had 16 tanks apart from a small number of tankettes armed with machine guns. Air defence guns were few and the air force only had 36 Gloster Gladiator fighters. Modern artillery was very limited, short range guns of the great war era or older were the norm. Worse was that no modern military material was available for purchase, as the producing countries regarded exports secondary to equipping the own armed forces. Worst of all, training had been very reduced in a 1925 decision to cut back on the armed forces, most units didn't have winter training and left army units needing to conduct rehearsal training after a mobilization.

Excellent thread

pay reparations

>We had no alliance, no responsibility for your country at all
You do understand that invasion of finland would've made russia your next door neighbour? It was your luck that we had become an independent nation, you didn't have to send any soldiers because finns worked as a meat shield of the nordics

It's the same thing nowadays too. Your military leaders oppose any kind of military alliance, you guys know that it's finland taking the fall if russians ever decide to attack

bump and fuck you sw*des

dont bump this again f*nnshit

fuck off oppressor
pay now

>same thing nowadays too
Wrong, our governments didn't want anything to do with each other until the coming war was a fact.

>According to the dominant view in Sweden's foreign ministry, Finland's foreign policy had, since its independence and 1918 civil war, been "unsteady and adventurous". In addition, Finland's domestic politics were viewed with great suspicion by Swedish Social Democrats. After the Socialists' defeat in the civil war, anti-parliamentarism and anti-socialist policies dominated Swedish impressions of Finland.

>mpressions made (in both countries) in connection with Finland's independence, civil war, the Åland crisis, language strife, and the Lapua Movement all stuck. These impressions, in turn, were compounded by a tendency in Sweden to emphasize the danger of Nazi expansionism and to view the Soviet Union with a great deal of goodwill: in Finland, however, the converse view was dominant.

We owed you nothing, you were an independent country that had been seperate from us for a 100 years.

>Meatshield
You belonged to the Russians, for a long time, Meaning there was no meat-shield between Sweden and the Russian Empire. Russia had taken what it wanted from Sweden, and even supported Sweden when we went to war against Norway, forcing that country into a union.

>And then we all wonder: "Why everything always is, and has been richer and greater in Sweden, than in here? (cont)
The only reason is that Russians stole money, land and eguipment from us between 1939-1991(SIC).

Without Russia Finland would be rich, there'd world peace and cure for cancer.

>we good bois, we dindu nuffin
When will this revisionism end?

>Revisionism
Could you be more specific?

That copy paste of yours has nothing to do with modern days. You just want steer clear of any kind of conflict

>A Swedish peasant in Småland did not become rich from Finnish tar.
They did, eventually, whereas with Finns those taxes went to nothing that would've benefited Finns now or then. In fact Finnish speakers had no rights at all, and 40% of the non-mercenary part of the Swedish military consisted of Finnish conscripts, because you viewed them as an other and therefore expendable. All Swedes must die for their sins against Finns.

The Eternal Swede must APOLOGIZE

you and your country deserves to die

Why wont Swedes apologize for their disgusting colonial and svekoman policies?

Swedish prime minister should offer us Swedish Lapland as reparations.

>Eventually?
You're so full of shit. Sweden was seperated from Finland for more than a 100 years before we became a ''rich'' country. I guess we saved all that tar for a century before we sold it
>Steer clear of any kind of conflict
Just like every small country does and did.
Norway and Denmark didn't join the allies until they were invaded. They called themselves neutral just like Sweden did during ww2.
And why would Finland even want an alliance with Sweden in 2017? We don't even have a real army.

It's a shame that Sweden will either fall to immigrant hordes or go ultra nationalist and start genociding people. Either way Finland will be surrounded by enemies then.

haha. This thread is full of really weird outrage.

At least their army is shit.
Suur-Suomi when?

>Finland for more than a 100 years before we became a ''rich'' country.
You had always been wealthier than Finns, due to being an imperialist oppressor, which all Swedes benefited from in one way or another. This is also why you developed quicker, due to having a sturdy foundation built on the oppression of Finns. You must pay, in the form of the genocide of your race.

>in the form of the genocide of your race
That would be a genocide of all of scandinavia

Sorry me Finland-
:^(

>haha u buthurt

Meanwhile this swecuck has spent hours in this thread defending your country

LMAO!

This is a nice thread, thanks for some easy history reading.
Norway was exploited by the Danes too. We didn't prosper on our resources and they destroyed saw mills all over this country, among other things, prohibiting industries to spawn in Norway, except when it was beneficial to Copenhagen (guess where their navy came from).

Anyway, this thread is about Finland. Just wanted to say I enjoy reading this.

Remember to openly discriminate any swede you are unfortunate enough to see

I will destroy them for you Finland

Inshallah brother

>Swedes give the Finns a stupid order
>Finns naturally hop to it
All I'm reading, here, is that it is in a Finnish disposition to obey Swedes no matter what tomfoolery they suggest.

Nice get my muslim brother :)

Quads confirm.

Barbaric swedes had the rebels quartered.

I always knew Swedes were bad guys desu

Thank god we dont do it anymore like the Scots and welsh do
