Peace of Tartu

The Peace of Tartu was a treaty signed in 1920 between Finland and Soviet Russia, ending their conflict over territories in Eastern Karelia. It recognized Finland's independence, defined borders, and established peaceful relations. The treaty allowed Finland to control the region it had sought for national unity, though some disputes persisted later. Overall, it marked Finland's formal recognition as an independent nation and helped stabilize the eastern border after the Finnish Civil War and conflicts with Soviet Russia.
