Great song, great lyrics and great English translation! Is the translation yours and if not, do you know whose? This is by the way the honorary march of Finnish Cadet Academy (or whatever the correct English name is, anyway the first step for professional officers).
This is originally a Swedish piece of music, but so is Finland, originally a Swedish creation. History of Russia dividing Sweden made Finland, Swedish for “foreign land”, happen. As the Russians conquered it, and promoted the minority Finnish language in order to make it more difficult for Sweden to reincorporate Finland into Sweden again. Most of the Finnish nationalists changed their names from Swedish ones to Finnish ones. It was actually mainly such Swedish descendants that were the most prominent of the Finnish nationalists. Finland eventually managed to gain independence from Russia. In culture and people, Finland is closest to Sweden, but does have the Finnish language as majority language now. One thing is true, though, Finland has had grand composers like Sibelius, where Sweden has had none quite like him. Well, maybe it goes without saying that obviously Sibelius was also him of Swedish descent. Sweden and Finland is in so many things one, still, and would have remained as one had it not been for history taking this course it did. The lyrics of this piece were written in Swedish by the Swedish lyricist Viktor Rydberg. Also, Finland is great. Well deserved is their independence. Greetings from Sweden.
@@siggevibes What do you mean by "minority language"? Finnish was the majority language in the area of Österland. Of couse the higher class people was Swedish speaking but it was minority.
Those first clips are from the victory parade of the Whites in 16.05.1918 in Helsinki. General Mannerheim is receiving the troops, which consist of 12000 men. The Germans had taken Helsinki from the Reds in early April. Now Mannerheim wanted to show, that the main force aginst the Reds had been the Finns and not the Germans. However without the German guns the Whites would probably had lost to the Reds.
The Whites were already driving the Reds back when the Germans landed in Southern Finland. Academic concensus among historians is that the Reds' defeat was inevitable, the German intervention just sped things up.
@@Aivottaja The Whites did not need the German soldiers, they would have won this war without them, although it would have taken a longer time.That is correct. But because the Reds got several thousand rifles and heaver guns from the Bolshevik government, that would have given them the victory, if Germany would have stayed passive. But she sold and gave the Whites lots of guns and ammunition, and that was the decisive thing. Also the Rangers, which have been trained in Germany, had a big effect to the outcome of this war.
The reds were already disorganized with a failing leadership when the traitors started fleeing to the Ussr, and also they had already lost their command center and logistical center Tampere
Unlikely, since the war was won already by the white guards after cutting the red railway connections trough central Finland and the battle of Tampere. The German landings and the capture of Helsinki were a sideshow the big picture, but it nevertheless helped quite a bit. There were still afterwards some serious battles fough in Karelia by the Finnish whites, but the reds had by then no real base of support other than Soviet Russia, since the population of Viipuri was sympathetic to whites.

Great stuff. Nordic Unity is what we need. Sverige, Norge, Suomi, Ísland and Eesti.
Not Denmark?
@@carolus7348 Oh sorry.. I forgot about Denmark. The original Vikings.
@@carolus7348 well Denmark manages to sound gayer than Swedish so it might be a strain on our reputation

The Whites would have won regardless. It would have just dragged on longer and there would have been more vengeance-driven acts of war.

varför tog du bort den svenska versonen

Doesn't ateenalainen mean "Athenian"?
Yes it does
Den svenska versionen👌🏻
Why do finns sing swedish songs?
Well Finland was part of Sweden for 700 years. We have then adopted a lot of things from Sweden like military songs and some social-economic stuff
Because it was our colonial master for over 700 years.
@@Aivottaja Not quite colonial but yes, part of Sweden
@@isakpalsson9012
Completely colonial. Get over it.
