1939–1940 war between the Soviet Union and Finland
The Winter War was a conflict fought between the Soviet Union and Finland from 1939 to 1940, triggered by Soviet demands for Finnish territory and military bases. Though Finland was vastly outmatched in size and resources, the war demonstrated that the Soviet military was weaker than expected and showed the world that small nations could mount effective resistance against larger powers.
