Which two countries fought in the Battle of Suomussalmi in World War II?

The Finnish name for their own country is Suomi which, if you already knew it, would help you guess the right answer. Fascinating relationship between Finland and Russia throughout history

Legend has it that the huge number of Russians was first spotted by Finnish border guards The first said “ Oh God , look at all those Russians!!” The second replied “Yeah, where are we going to bury them all?”

Welcome to NATO Finland!

nancy, sounds like the usual reason -- a land grab for resources. If Russia would embrace trade over warfare Ukraine would be a peaceful country today.

That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin, Thank you for one of the most helpful comments ever in this game

Never underestimate the Finn's. They have sisu on their side!!

Hope the Ukraine will be able to stop Russia,

nancy, They fought because of how close Finland is to Saint Petersburg and Soviet Union wanted Finnish land to be cede to protect Petrograd/Leningrad which is now St. Petersburg

That's how I guess it too
