The Soviet-Finnish War of 1939-1940, also known as the Soviet-Finnish War of 1939-1940, the Winter War, the Finnish War, the Finnish Campaign of 1939-1940, the Third Soviet-Finnish War, the Soviet-Finnish Armed Conflict of 1939-1940 (fin. Talvisota) — the war between the USSR and Finland in the period from November 30, 1939 to March 12[Comm. 2] 1940. Referring to security considerations for Leningrad, located near the Finnish border, the Soviet leadership put forward several proposals throughout 1938 and 1939 for Finland to cede border territories (the Karelian Isthmus, islands in the Gulf of Finland, part of the Petsamo region) in exchange for lands in Karelia, which were twice as large as the requested territories, although they were swampy. Finland refused these offers. On November 26, 1939, the Government of the USSR sent a protest note to the Government of Finland regarding the artillery shelling, which, according to the Soviet side, was committed from Finnish territory. On November 30, the USSR launched an invasion of Finland. The outbreak of hostilities led to the fact that on December 14, 1939, the USSR was expelled from the League of Nations as an aggressor. Hostilities ended in March 1940 with the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty, under which Finland ceded about 10% of its territory to the Soviet Union. The Finnish authorities evacuated 430 thousand Finnish residents from the frontline areas into the interior of the country. Carl Gustav Mannerheim himself said at the time that the Moscow peace was extremely beneficial for Finland in the current realities, with the Red Army entering the operational space.
