What we will learn this day is the Russo-Finnish War,an engagement between the Soviets and the Finnish during the early phase in World War 2..I have summarized it into the simplest facts and there it is..
1.Estonia,Latvia and Lithuania admitted Soviet garrisons onto their territory,Finland refused to comply it..
2.Finland have only 200000 troops in 10 divisions,while The Soviets brought 70 divisions,it is about 1'000'000 mens and some 1000 tanks.
3.Soviet troops attacked the Finnish line on 30th November 1939.
4.Finnish's Mannerheim Line was broken on 1st February 1940,the Soviets swept the Finnish position at Karelian Isthmuths.
Finland collapsed and suffered 70'000 casualties while the Soviets more than 200'000.
Thats all folks,the simplest from the simple..
