The history of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent civil war has been well documented in a number of books and documentaries. What has received far less coverage is an almost uncannily similar situation in Finland during the same time period. Starting in 1917, Finland was convulsed by a series of events that provided a direct parallel to those in Russia. After the country became divided into Red and White factions, the Reds took control of the southern part of the country, including the capital city, Helsinki, in January of 1918. The Whites took the north, and soon, these opposing groups were engaged in a bloody civil war that would last until May 15, 1918.
