Thank you so much! That may have been a subconscious influence; it's definitely a really interesting war but unfortunately many countries only teach history relating directly to their own, so until that changes it will probably continue to be relatively obscure.

Unfortunately that is true, I mean in school I am really only taught history pertaining to America and what happened. Though I am really interested in Scandinavian and Western European history. That is why I have so many history books, I read them more for other countries' histories then American history, and beside people want to cut out all the 'bad' parts of history in education when it is being taught, about American history. I'm like... every country has had something happen in its history that it is not proud of... but still needs to be taught.

yeah, a lot of countries tend to try to censor the darker parts of their history. but i mean, history is there to be learnt from, right? if we cover up our past errors then the chance they'll recur is so much higher. and we can learn from the errors of other countries too, so it creates even more of a bubble when international history is largely excluded from the general curriculum.

Hmm.. In lapland yes, is beautiful at autumn, but not have yet seen that in own eyes. Only winter time once and it was perfect! Oh..! And as I recall it, there was like just in your picture. A lot of snow! Could not see nothing else. So what I try to say, that I was wrong at first time, when see your awesome art.- My bad!

yeah i think it's when he is portrayed as truly naive that makes me go ?? 'cause he's seen/been through/done some pretty rough stuff, haha. same goes for any country 'cause history tends to do that lol but finland has the whole sisu thing going on too
but i guess for hetalia purposes, being a webcomic/manga/anime/idk and all, it's pretty inevitable that not all aspects of the countries will be reflected in the characters accurately all the time (even if it's.. a really, really major aspect) and i suppose as long as people understand that hetalia isn't exactly an encyclopaedia (which i think most people do.. hopefully) there isn't much we can do to stop them portraying the characters how they like! so i just skip over stuff that's not my cup of tea
...or at least i used to, when i was more involved in the fandom/internet in general sob

(sorry if i' mnot making any sense haha my head's a bit muddled atm & not sure where i'm going with this)

Heh, an act? I portray Alfred, Feliciano and Mattie as the ones who know the most, have felt the pain... the light heartedness they show is all an act to me (I over think things a lot) and if you bring history into it I think no nation would be the same... okay maybe England... but we would see a big change. Yeah, so long as they don't think EVERY Frenchman is a total flirt, that Americans can be smart, Italians aren;t butt lazy and pasta obsessed... we'll be fine.

(you make sense)

thank you!
to be honest i didn't actually think of historical events when drawing it - finland was ruled by sweden for quite a while but they were then under russian rule as a grand duchy so technically finland didn't "leave" sweden (ie. gain independence directly from swedish rule). i don't think attitudes towards the swedes were too favourable during that time though (certainly nothing like it is in the majority of hetalia fanon) which is the basic idea that i was drawing from, but i didn't really think about actual history when i drew this.
though my history knowledge is a bit rusty so don't take my word for it haha! and if you meant history as in history in hetalia, i don't think it's happened - i admit i haven't been following new hetalia material too closely but i don't think anything new has popped up about finland/sweden since i last checked

Haha when is a nation OK with living under someone else's rule? by the way, thank you for not making Finland all girly girly like everyone does, you get brownie points.

and no problem! i much prefer this sort of finland over the one that constantly follows sweden around like a wide-eyed lovestruck lost puppy haha
