Finland independence came in a very crucial year in world history, 1917. The year is particularly marked for the Russian Revolution and it is this particular revolt, which ignited the feeling of complete independence among the Finnish people. The resignation of Tsar Nicholas II after the Russian Revolution in 1917 loosened the bond between Russia and Finland. This considerably led to the self rule in Finland, where people could select their own government and did not have to depend on other countries for their administrative system.
The independence of Finland was a grand event, but the period after the independence was not a very pleasant one for the Finnish nationals. There was an internal civil war that raged in the country between the two major political parties in Finland, The Leftist Reds and the Rightist Whites. The civil war proved to be disastrous for the morale of the country. After a long strife, the rightist party came to power. The independence that was gained with so much trouble was restored and a democratic government was set up in Finland.
