Continuation War

The Continuation War was a war between Finland and the Soviet Union. It was fought between June 25, 1941 and September 19, 1944 and continued the Winter War. The Finnish army quickly took back territory that was lost in the Winter War, and soon also conquered Karelia.

Nazi Germany helped Finland as part of the Eastern Front. The ceasefire started on September 4, 1944 at 7.00 a.m. for the Finns. The Soviets' ceasefire started on September 5. The first peace treaty was signed on September 19 and the final one on February 10, 1947 in Paris.
