Finland’s Civil War in the winter of 1918 was, in proportion to the country’s population, one of Europe’s most destructive internal conflicts of the 20th century.
As a consequence of the Civil War, Finland got politically divided into two: the Finland of the vanquished Reds and the Finland of the victorious Whites.
Only a few months after the end of the war Finland adopted municipal suffrage, and as the result, municipalities and towns switched to universal suffrage.
Although political extreme factions were discriminated, for the most of the population the 1920s and 1930s meant an improvement in social circumstances: universal compulsory education, significant improvements to the rights of farmers, workers, and women.
How was all this possible only just after the Civil War? How Finland was united locally and politically during the next decades?
