The Grand Duchy of Finland was a largely autonomous part of the Russian Empire when the First World War broke out, but that would soon change. Rising nationalism in the country and chaos in Russia, among other things, helped Finland on its way to becoming an independent country.

Oh, dad jokes. The first one is playing with the slightly mis spelled finnish "Ei saa peittää" common warning on electric radiators alongside "Må ikke tildekkes" and "Får ej övertäckas", check google translate. The second one is a swedish pun that has nothing to do with finnish. Mask=worm, hallon=raspberries so "worm infested raspberries". Hey Stefan T, what about Hakki Hälinen?

Come to Finland, it's so damn cold that a couple of weeks and you'll know all the bad words. This is due to something you can only experience this far up north called "vitutus" used to express a state of continous anger, grudging acceptance of the conditions and unwavering defiance against mother nature. This in turn is made possible by "sisu" which allows us to stubbornly defy anything that puts us in circumstances that we are not completely satisfied with. But also allows us to survive in said circumstances, with the cost of having to deal with "vitutus" which is usually made apparent by the almost silent mumbling of various swear words and age old curses in an almost chanting manner.

"The almost silent mumbling of various swear words and age old curses in an almost chanting manner" That sounds actually like a fun song, someone should compose it! Although I like cold, I doubt my strength could stomach that level of climate.

Hey indy and the team. I am watching you since 1914 and I am really proud to be part of this awesome community ( I am talking about you, Flo.) I am from young democracy called Georgian republic. My country is ancient and used to be influenced by many cultures. After annexation of Georgian principalities and absorbing it by russian empire in 1801-1811 Georgia used to play crucial role in the region. Its capital, Tbilisi was administrative center of south Caucasus and russian empire gained foothold in Caucasian region by it. As we have close proximity to persian and ottoman borders, all wars t With them were fought on our land and using our manpower. Georgia with population of over 2.3 million by 1918 has sent somewhat 250 thousand troops to russian empire on all fronts. After fall of russian empire we had great relations with German empire which helped us to negotiate between ottomans and Russians. These times are really important for my people as it played crucial role in our strife of self determination and nationalism. On may 26th, 1918 democratic republic of Georgia was proclaimed independent. After this till 1921, when Soviet annexed us we had really interesting times. We had many successful wars, we effectively fought off communists and our government consisted mainly of Mensheviks(minority of communist party after split in london in 1904.) Indy, Flo and the team. As you see I am fluent in English and I can easily speak or write in it.(not concerning this text, I wrote it hurry.) I want to do research and send to you my work, but I have some challenges. 1) there are lots of works about ww2 but not ww1, they are scarce. I found a great book which used sources from that times but it is written in georgian and sources and bibliography is either in German, russian or Georgian. Thus book is written by highly educated historian who used approximately 500 sources and even had interviews from whiteness. I really want to contribute my work time and effort in this work but would you trust this sources? Is there any point of me doing this and translating. Btw, I have contacted one of tgeost famous historians in modern Georgia to help me out. What do you think, will you trust my work? And how could it be sent? I am 17 years old and I am planning on studying physics in the usa but I have a great knowledge in history and that's why I loved your channels in the first place. I would be glad if your read the whole thing, idk, lol, thank you. And please, can you contact me?

Great video, Indy!! I wondering if you are planning to do a special on Switzerland during the Great War, as a neutral nation surrounded by war? Keep up the great work!

You think our booze is cheap? Christ what do they make you guys pay for it? We go to Estonia for our drinks, or sometimes Russia.

I think jackstone112 meant Nordic brother, not Scandinavian. Scandinavia = Sweden, Norway, Denmark. Nordic = Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, etc.
