c.hinton;

In exchange, the Soviet Union offered Finland a large part of Karelia (more than twice the size)

Boy, I don't remember that. I need to check. Finland was in no position to bargain - the Russians just kept throwing troops at them. Russia had an unlimited supply - Finland did not. For what it's worth Finland did a fantastic job with what they had - the lesson learned? Be careful of patriotism when marching into another country!
