Lapland War, 27.9.1944 - 27.4.1945
The third war is called the "Lapland War" and was fought against
Germany after the armistice with the Soviet Union. Finland didn't
really want to fight the germans but the pressure from Allies
(mainly Soviet Union) was so great that the "war" escalated
into a real fighting between the former allies in the northern
Finland (Lapland). Last german troops were out of Finnish borders
on April 27, 1945.
Conclusions
Note that Finland didn't surrender and wasn't occupied
(the sole country on the losing side that was not occupied
by foreign troops). The front line at the time of the
cease-fire was well in front of the current border.
As a result Finland saved its independence and could continue
its development under a democratic government.
