Description

Explore the complex history of Finnish national identity through this academic study by Routledge. Following Finland's independence from Russia in 1917, the nation faced the massive task of building a military from the ground up after nearly twenty years without one. This book provides a detailed look at how a new national conscript army emerged from the aftermath of a civil war. Readers will learn how the creation of this army navigated social, cultural, and political challenges to gain public support. By examining how images of manhood were used during these heated debates, the text reveals the tensions inherent in compulsory military service within a democratic society. This work is essential for those studying European history, military development, and the social evolution of Finland during the early 20th century.
