This is a second edition of the most successful study of Finland in
the English language. It presents the reader - whether tourist,
student, specialist, or business person - with a readable and
authoritative introduction to the Finns and the present position of
their country in the modern world. A Short History of Finland traces
the historical development of the country from its settlement by the
Finns in the first millennium AD to the present time, exploring
Finland's earlier connection with Sweden, the complex relationship
with Russia which has dominated Finnish history in the last two
centuries, and the post-war achievements of the second republic. This
second edition has been revised and updated by Emeritus Professor A.
F. Upton, a leading scholar of Scandinavian history, and discusses the
impact of the break-up of the Soviet Union and brings events up to
Finland's admission to the European Union in 1995.
