After the Finnish War in 1809, the vast majority of the Finnish-speaking areas were ceded to the Russian Empire making this area the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland. Finnish nationalism emerged in the 19th century and it focused on Finnish cultural traditions, folklore, and mythology, including music and especially the highly distinctive language and lyrics associated with it. One product of this era was the Kalevala, one of the most significant works of Finnish literature.
The catastrophic Finnish famine of 1866–1868 was followed by eased economic regulations and extensive emigration.

In 1917, Finland declared independence. Relations with the West, especially Sweden and Britain, were strong but tensions remained with the Soviet Union. During the Second World War, Finland fought twice against the Soviet Union, first defending its independence in the Winter War and then invading the Soviet Union in the Continuation War. In the peace settlement Finland ended up ceding a large part of Karelia and some other areas to the Soviet Union. However, Finland remained an independent democracy in Northern Europe.
