'''Finland''' is a country in [[Europe]], partially located on the Scandinavian peninsula (along with [[Norway]] and [[Sweden]]). Much of its early history was spent ruled by Sweden, and later as part of [[Russia|the Russian Empire]] before finally declaring itself independent in 1918.  The Finnish language, unlike most other languages of Europe, is not of the Indo-European family.  Rather, it is of the Uralic family, like Estonian and, more distantly, Hungarian.
