As a Finn I really appreciate you going for the proper pronounciation of words how they'd be said in Finnish

Don't give up! Many other YoutTubers were unknown for years too until they're channel blew up. I just discovered this channel a few days ago and it's ine of my favs!

Much love to our northern brothers and sisters, from Estonia :)

Ahh finland one of my favourite countries, great vid!!

I am Swedish and my great father (my grandfather's father) was one of a thousand Swedish volunteers who traveled to Finland's front lines during World War II and fought with our Finnish brothers.

Great, I am happy for Finns having a nice and free country! Finnish language is a gem! Greetings from Transylvania (from Seklerland)!

I feel like today's "bye bye" was little extra spicy lmao... great vid

I am from Ukraine and someone told me that Finland's history is similar to us, so I'm here (all our troubles are from our common neighbour). I wish I knew about you earlier. Hope I could visit Finland one day❤️

Great video! No major errors and most of the basics were covered. I also appreciate that you put time in learning the pronunciation

Love the Suomi

Our family (adults and children alike) love your videos.

We have enjoyed this brief, yet very informative history lesson.

Fine pronounciation. Good work overall.

I just wanted to add that Finland never was some backwater colony of sweden, it was very much part of sweden for hundreds of years. And yes, pretty much everyone not noble in sweden at the time was a poor miserable sob.

As a Fin, I must correct one thing. That Turku fire did happen, but was not the reason the capitol was switched over to Helsinki. Those events were merely happening around the same time frame. Capitol was changed in 1812 and Turku fire happened at 1827, so the fire could not have been the reason. The real reason was, that Russians did not like the fact that Finland's capitol Turku was so close by to their mortal enemy Sweden, so they moved it.

As a finn, i say this is a mostly correct high-quality viddo. Great work!

This channel deserves more subscribers. Thanks for the great vid!

Amazing video. Truly underrated channel.

With so many KZfaq videos these days being stretched to 15 minutes while their entire content could be stated in five sentences, it is a breath of fresh wind to see Mr History doing the exact opposite - and doing it so incredibly well. I think I'll spend several days going through these Super Quick History -videos. Thank you!

Finally, my home country...

I love these videos so much.

I've been grooving lately on a Finnish band named Amorphis, who's first album was titled The Karelian Isthmus - first rate musicians!!!

Turned on notifications so I don’t miss any of ur videos :) they’re really interesting

This was so interesting, thank you for making history this fun!

Great episode

Learning everything I can about this beautiful country! Also singing you guy’s language is freaking hard! Like so many Rs to roll and then breaking up the the syllables AND singing fast! 😂

Pretty interesting, glad to watch it!

This is great! Glad someones interested in our weird corner of Europe

Love Finland from Greece 🇬🇷 🤝🇫🇮

never give up keep trying always supporting

Nice.

Beautiful story about Finland. Thank you

Linus Torvalds was a gift of this nation to the world

0:36 Finnish 🇫🇮 is a Finno-Ugric language, which are found from Scandinavia to Siberia - and also Hungarian 🇭🇺 in central Europe!

Correction, Helsinki was made Finland's capital about 15 years before the great fire of Turku.

I love the Finn's infact they're my favorite Nordic country and my third European country 💚💚😁😁 one love to them ✝️✝️✅

Awesome, thanks for this information..God bless. ..

They make some great metal music that’s for certain

I must just add the point that Finland was not an opressed part of Sweden. It was as much a natural part of Sweden as other swedish territories outside Stockholm like Dalarna or Härjedalen. Even more than some I would argue, since the southern parts of Sweden were added much later in history and the people there rebelled before giving up their danish identity. For sweden the loss if Finland in 1809 was traumatic, as it was a natural part of the country, not by any means a colony. This can for example be seen in the swedish commander von Döbelns speach to the finnish troops of the swedish army who were about to return to a now russian Finland after the peace treaty and the swedish loss of Finland. "...Finns! Brothers! If my words could be cealed with tears from my eyes, they would fall like a stream, and each drop assure you of my reverence, my friendship."

Thank you for the quick history lesson as an American of Finnish descent. I know almost nothing of my grandfather's ancestorial homeland. Other than the Winter War my great grandfather came to America in 1911 And that he was part of the Sammie people.

Ty man

In Finland we have a joke about Swedish war heros...not so many pages in that book...But that is true that there was about 8000 swedes fighting for Finland. Thank you...

2:49 correction: the fennomanic movement was by vast majority swedish. Finnish people weren't interested

Can you do sweden?

Another Upload!!!!

It'll be a tough one but do India . Great video!

As a finn i wuv this

Those stone formations are built by giants... as so we used to believe.

Greece next ? plz ?

Great pronunciation!

There is also an annual wife carrying championship!

about swedish crusades in finland, i think historians today say it was more just colonized slowly by traders and swedish settlers rather than a crusade. probably swedish nationalist historians back in the day exaggerated the colonization by describing it as a dramatic and honorful crusade

At first there were only the three tribes but now there are five who are the savonians and the ostrobothnians

*Räikkönen

The nobles of Finland were Finns as well, not "Swedish nobles ruling over poor Finns"...

Jokkela-high school 💀

In 20 years black fellow will whine how he cant leave without doing nothing.

Kalevala is actually Karelian epos not Finnish

Your pronounciation isn't that bad I thought.

*Soviets

69th like NOICE

Well, "Sweden" didn't exactly meddle because Sweden didn't exist back then as it does today. But ok, I get that this is a simplification to get on with the story.

finland actually joined eu in 1955

One significant story was left from video. 1700-1721 war in which Russia killed entire villages in parts of Finland (some even claim that 1/3rd of Finns were killed in those 21 years) and took probably even as many as 30,000 people as slaves and some of them were sold to Turkey & Persia.
