Description

Explore the complex history of Finnish nation-building through the lens of military service. Following Finland's independence from Russia in 1917, the nation faced the massive task of creating a new national conscript army from scratch. This Routledge publication examines the intense social, cultural, and political challenges faced by a country trying to establish a military presence after nearly two decades without one. This book provides a detailed look at how a modern conscript army, emerging from the aftermath of a civil war, navigated various social minefields to gain public acceptance. By looking at how images of manhood were used during these historical controversies, the text reveals the deep conflicts regarding compulsory military service within a democratic society. Readers will gain a better understanding of the compromises made as the new nation worked to define its identity and security through its military institutions between 1917 and 1939.
