Abstract

The Russo-Finnish War of 1939-1940, also known as the Winter War, forms a curious portion of World War II history that bears further study. Occurring during the “Phony War”—the period of calm following Hitler’s invasion of Poland—the Winter War offers a glimpse into the attitudes of the major powers as the growing necessity of the coming war becomes increasingly clear during 1939 and 1940. Specifically, the Winter War provides insight into Soviet imperialism and its concerns over German aggression, and forms a crucial portion of the German decision to invade Russia in the summer of 1941. Without consideration of the Winter War and the conclusions drawn from it by the major world powers, it is difficult to form a satisfactory explanation of each power’s behavior in the Second World War. Therefore, though it was a relatively brief conflict, the Winter War is crucial to a proper understanding of the events of World War II as a whole.
冬季战争:它的原因和影响
1939年至1940年的俄芬战争,也被称为冬季战争,是二战历史上一个值得进一步研究的奇特部分。“冬季战争”发生在“假战争”期间,即希特勒入侵波兰后的平静时期。在1939年至1940年期间,随着即将到来的战争日益增长的必要性变得越来越明显,这场战争让我们得以一窥主要大国的态度。具体来说,《冬季战争》让人们深入了解了苏联帝国主义及其对德国侵略的担忧,并成为德国在1941年夏天入侵俄罗斯的决定的关键部分。如果不考虑冬季战争以及世界主要大国从中得出的结论,就很难对每个大国在第二次世界大战中的行为做出令人满意的解释。因此,尽管这是一场相对短暂的冲突,但冬季战争对于正确理解整个第二次世界大战至关重要。
