The Treaty of Tartu

The Treaty of Tartu was an agreement signed in 1920 between Finland and Soviet Russia, which officially ended their conflict over border disputes. It established Finland's sovereignty and defined the boundary between the two countries, giving Finland control over parts of Eastern Karelia. The treaty helped both nations stabilize their relationship and organize their borders after years of war and unrest following the Russian Revolution. It remains a significant political document marking Finland's independence and territorial integrity during the early years of its independence.
