In this lively and humorous episode of History Unwind, host Jorge Romualdo takes listeners on a journey through Finland’s centuries under Swedish rule. Starting with the mysterious origins of Swedish dominance in the 13th century, the episode explores how Finland transformed from a land of independent farmers to an integral part of the Swedish realm.
Jorge delves into the everyday struggles of Finns, from losing their lands to Swedish nobles and colonists to dealing with language barriers when communicating with Swedish authorities. He highlights the complexities of Finnish identity during this time—caught between the Swedish crown’s desire for control and Finland’s resilience in maintaining its culture and language.
With a mix of history and humor, Jorge covers key events like the Northern Crusades, taxation (every Finn’s least favorite part), and the wars that turned Finland into Sweden’s eastern battleground. The episode wraps up with the Treaty of Hamina in 1809, when Swedish rule over Finland officially ended.
Packed with sound effects, witty commentary, and engaging storytelling, this episode offers a unique and entertaining take on a crucial period of Finnish and Swedish history.
