Finland Faces Harsh Peace After Stretched Struggle
Foreign Minister Vaino Tanner described the terms as unexpectedly severe and far harsher than demanded by the Soviet Union last autumn. He noted Finns lacked arms and faith in others promises, and warned the future defense would be restricted while Finland would again strive to arise as a vital state. Britain and France offered 50,000 troops via Norway and Sweden, but those routes were blocked, leaving Finland to confront a superior foe alone. The public reaction mixed bewilderment with resolve as Tanner praised defenders’ conduct amid heavy home front costs.

The draft treaty outlines Russian gains including parts of Karelia and Salla front areas, a lease on Hanko, a rail link to the Arctic and a transit path to Sweden. Finland would gain large concessions, a 10 day mixed commission, and a no military bases rule in the Arctic with ship limits. Trade relations would resume with a formal pact later, and a mutual non aggression pledge closes the document.
