The So-Fin War - The So-Fin War
Two wars took place between Finland and the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1944. (1) First Soviet-Finland War (Winter War, 1939-40) When the Nazis came to power in Germany in the 1930s, the Soviet Union began to feel a military threat on its western border. During this period, the League of Nations became ineffective, and the Nordic countries began to pursue armed neutrality, with Finland joining them. When Germany began its invasion of Poland in 1939, the Soviet Union was not satisfied with Finland's neutral policy and demanded a large amount of territory in exchange for the defense of Leningrad.

1939‐44年,フィンランドとソ連邦の間で2度にわたって行われた戦争。(1)第1次ソ・フィン戦争(冬戦争,1939‐40年) 30年代にドイツでナチスが政権を握ると,ソ連は西部国境に軍事的脅威を感じ始めた。この時期に国際連盟が無力化し,北欧諸国は武装中立の道を歩むようになり,フィンランドもこれに同調する。39年,ドイツのポーランド侵攻が開始されると,ソ連はフィンランドの中立策に満足せず,レニングラード防衛のため大幅な領土交換を要求した。
