Continuation War
1941 CE – 1944 CE · 3 years
Finland fought alongside Germany against the Soviet Union to recover territory lost in the Winter War. After initial advances, the massive Soviet offensive of 1944 forced Finland to seek peace. Finland retained its independence but ceded significant territory and paid heavy reparations.
