The Finnish War between Sweden and Russia was fought against the background of the European power politics of the Napoleonic era. Emperor Napoleon of France and the Russian Czar Alexander I agreed that Russia will force Sweden to join a continental blockade against Britain. When diplomatic pressure on Sweden failed Alexander I commanded his army to attack Finland in February 1808. The Finnish War, like the 18th century wars between Russia and Sweden (known as the Great Wrath and the Little Wrath), ended in the Russian occupation of Finland. However, this time unlike earlier, when Russia had returned the greater part of Finland to Sweden after occupation, the peace was concluded in Hamina in September 1809, with the result that Finland was annexed by Russia as an autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
