Continuation War (1941–4) A war precipitated by the Finnish attack on the Soviet Union in the wake of
Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union. The Finnish army used the current weakness of the
Red Army to advance and take possession of its territories lost after the
Winter War. In 1944, it was forced to withdraw before the advancing Red Army, and
Mannerheim quickly sued for peace. The borders from 1940 were restored, and the Petsamo region was ceded to the Soviet Union.
