In the debut episode of History Unwind, titled "From Sisu to Freedom: How Finland Shook Off the Bear Hug," we dive deep into the extraordinary journey of Finland’s independence. Starting with Finland's centuries-long struggle under the rule of Sweden and later Russia, this episode explores how a small, fiercely determined nation carved its own path to freedom. We'll unravel the gritty stories behind the Winter War, where Finnish forces, heavily outnumbered and outgunned, used their icy terrain and indomitable spirit—known as sisu—to fend off the Soviet Union. Along the way, we’ll highlight the key players, like Marshal Mannerheim, and the often-overlooked ingenuity of Finnish guerrilla tactics. With humor and heart, this episode reveals how Finland transformed from an overlooked outpost of empires into a proud, independent nation that refused to be crushed under the weight of larger powers. Get ready for a journey through snow-covered forests, heated negotiations, and the unbreakable will that shaped Finland’s fight for freedom.
