@@monnaak Åland is a Finnish territory ultimately governed from Helsinki no matter its partial autonomy. It certainly isn't sovereign. The people might not have that much in common with mainland Finns, but Åland has been a part of the Grand Duchy of Finland since 1809 and now belongs to the modern Finnish state.
@@redrexi It’s been part of Sweden for ≈700 years and part of Finland for ≈100 years. Our governmental system is originally swedish, our laws are originally swedish, are language is swedish, are culture is overall swedish, our customs are overall swedish. Åland belong first and foremost to the people of Åland. No one argues that it isn’t currently inside the state border of Finland (even though borders tend to change over time as seen throughout history)
Whilst I, as a Swede, do want Åland to return to the mother-country, they have made their free choice and that must be respected.

Finland actually was an autonomous region of Russia between 1809 and 1917. Also, Denmark has the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The US has Puerto Rico and Papua New Guinea has Bougainville. So no, Åland is not the only autonomous region

@Duolingo Owl Old Swedish saw its developing Norse dialect buddies smoking some pot and, in order to be edgy, developed a ketamine addiction. thus, the vaguely English sound

@@stupidperson9250 I do not see how that is relevant, Finnish people do not want to invade another man's land.

The Soviet Union losses were approximately 200 000 casualties and 600 000 wounded.
@@Borthax Well not exactly. Before Finland and Sweden were separated Åland was a part of Svealand. Svealand is one of the most important parts of Sweden, whence also the name Sweden came from. The majority of Åland has always spoken Swedish, around 95% nowadays and their dialect of Swedish is closer to Uppland Swedish than Finland Swedish. When Finland became free from Russia, there were large movements to reunite with Sweden in Åland, so large that the League of Nations had to get involved. Despite over 90% of the population voting to reunite with Sweden, the League of Nations instead chose to give Åland autonomy. Ålandic autonomy is one of the main reasons that they would rather be a part of Finland than Sweden. If they were to reunite with Sweden, they would loose their autonomy and become a Swedish landskap instead. In short, they voted for reunification, got denied and were given autonomy instead. They would rather have autonomy than become a part of Sweden again.
