Migration
In Finnish emigration, three long periods can be seen. The first of them is the great overseas emigration from about 1850's to the World War I. About 350.000 persons left Finland during these years, if the emigrants to countries overseas and to Sweden, Norway and Russia are included. More than 300.000 emigrated to North America, where perhaps 95 % had their destination in the USA. Tens of thousands of persons emigrated also to Russia, especially to St Petersburg, while the streams to Sweden and northern Norway were smaller.
The second period in Finnish emigration history is the years between the world wars. In 1919-39, about 70.000 Finns emigrated. Emigration was weak during this period, especially this is true in the 1930's. The most important destination country was at first the USA, but in the late 1920's, Canada became the most important. Emigration to Australia was also stronger than before the World War I.
When perhaps more than 10.000 Finns emigrated during the World War I, emigration during the Second World War was on the other hand very rare. In the 1950's and 1960's, Finland has however had strong emigration. About 250.000 persons emigrated during these decades. The most important of the destination countries was now Sweden. Canada and Australia were also more important than the USA, the most important destination of early Finnish emigration.
General information
Around two thirds of Finland is covered in forest and about tenth by water. In the far North the white nights, during which the sun does not set, last for around 10 weeks of the summer. In winter the same area goes through nearly 8 weeks when the sun does not rise above the horizon.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990's allowed Finland to step out of it's cold war shadow and shortly afterwards applied for membership of the EU. It was granted full membership in 1995.
Finland is the only Nordic EU member to use the Euro as it's national currency.
