All what the title says
Finland celebrates it's 100th year of Independence today 6th of December. Exactly 100 years ago Finnish independence declaration was broadcasted to the public over radio and thus this date was later on selected as the official independence day.
Unfortunately that triggered a bloody civil war between the whites and the reds. This war is now called with many names. Class war, independence war, civil war, freedom war.
Finnish people have been able to thrive from poverty to a world class country with one of the highest averaging schooling systems, equality, social welfare, technological advances and freedom of speech.
Achievements that are spread worldwide are of course Nokia, Wärtsilä, Marimekko, Iittala etc. Technology and Scandinavian design.
So, congratulations Finland for the 100 years. Let's see what the next 100 years will bring.
