16 SET 2024 · In the debut episode of History Unwind, titled "From Sisu to Freedom: How Finland Shook Off the Bear Hug," we dive deep into the extraordinary journey of Finland’s independence. Starting with Finland's centuries-long struggle under the rule of Sweden and later Russia, this episode explores how a small, fiercely determined nation carved its own path to freedom. We'll unravel the gritty stories behind the Winter War, where Finnish forces, heavily outnumbered and outgunned, used their icy terrain and indomitable spirit—known as sisu—to fend off the Soviet Union. Along the way, we’ll highlight the key players, like Marshal Mannerheim, and the often-overlooked ingenuity of Finnish guerrilla tactics. With humor and heart, this episode reveals how Finland transformed from an overlooked outpost of empires into a proud, independent nation that refused to be crushed under the weight of larger powers. Get ready for a journey through snow-covered forests, heated negotiations, and the unbreakable will that shaped Finland’s fight for freedom.

16 SET 2024 · In this lively and humorous episode of History Unwind, host Jorge Romualdo takes listeners on a journey through Finland’s centuries under Swedish rule. Starting with the mysterious origins of Swedish dominance in the 13th century, the episode explores how Finland transformed from a land of independent farmers to an integral part of the Swedish realm. Jorge delves into the everyday struggles of Finns, from losing their lands to Swedish nobles and colonists to dealing with language barriers when communicating with Swedish authorities. He highlights the complexities of Finnish identity during this time—caught between the Swedish crown’s desire for control and Finland’s resilience in maintaining its culture and language. With a mix of history and humor, Jorge covers key events like the Northern Crusades, taxation (every Finn’s least favorite part), and the wars that turned Finland into Sweden’s eastern battleground. The episode wraps up with the Treaty of Hamina in 1809, when Swedish rule over Finland officially ended. Packed with sound effects, witty commentary, and engaging storytelling, this episode offers a unique and entertaining take on a crucial period of Finnish and Swedish history.
