The first humans arrived in Finland about 7,000 BC after the end of the last ice age. The earliest Finns were stone-age hunters and gatherers. Over thousands of years, successive waves of people entered Finland. After 2,500 BC people in Finland lived by farming. About 1,500 BC they learned to make tools and weapons from bronze. About 500 BC people in Finland learned to use iron. However, the Finns had little or no contact with the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.
The recorded history of Finland began in the 12th century. By 1120 Christian missionaries were operating there. They were prepared to use force to convert Finland! The Swedish king Eric led a crusade in 1157. An Englishman, Bishop Henry of Uppsala, assisted him. Henry stayed after the Swedish soldiers left and he was martyred. Later he became the patron saint of Finland. However in 1172, the Pope said that the Finns would convert then renounce their faith as soon as their enemies had left. He advised the Swedes to subject the Finns by permanently manning fortresses in Finland.
By 1809, the whole of Finland was conquered by Alexander I of Russia, who set up Finland as a grand duchy. The period of Russification (1809-1914) capped Finnish political power and made Russian the country's official language. When Russia became engulfed by the March Revolution of 1917, Finland seized the opportunity to declare independence on Dec. 6, 1917.
The present Finland banner was received on May 26, 1978. Finland was under Russian occupation from 1899 to 1917, and the country looked to use its very own banner. It wasn't until Finland picked up freedom in 1917.
The flag of Finland consists of a white base with a blue cross. The vertical stripe in the cross is situated to the left side of the flag; while the horizontal one is centered. An old poet described Finland's colors as representing "the blue of our lakes and the white snow of our winters." The cross on the Finland flag is common in most Scandinavian flags and symbolizes Finland's hereditary link to the other Scandinavian countries.
The Finnish banner is demonstrated on the outline of the banner of Denmark's and Sweden's banners. By law, the Finland banner must not be filthy or harmed, and should not be destroyed or enlivened. At the point when the Finland banner is washed, it must be dried inside. The Finland banner should dependably be regarded, and should not be covered in the ground or used for some other reason. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of Finland Flag history right at home.
