broke out as a result of Stalin demanding Finnish territory for both the protection of Leningrad, which they felt was too close to the Finnish boarder, and the setup of naval and military bases. While Finland’s neighbouring countries of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia had all accepted Russian demands for land, Finland refused. This was mostly due to the land Russia wanted containing the Mannerheim line, a key defensive line across Eastern Finland, which would leave Finland defenceless against any…
