Finland had an offer from the USSR to swap some land for double the size elsewhere. After the "serious military victory over ussr" it lost that land plus some more for the total of 11% of its area, including its second largest city. >and fought with ussr in 1941-1945 That is a very hilarious way to say that Finland allied with Nazis and got crushed again.
