Was Finland's "Continuation War" Pre-Planned? Eastern Front

The Finnish Leadership said that they got dragged into the war that they didn't want, and that they only wanted to retake their lost territories. But is this really the case? Let's discuss what some of the historians think about the "Continuation War", and see if there's not another view of why they went to war.

Sources and notes will be in the pinned comment. Videos EVERY Monday at 5pm GMT (depending on season, check for British Summer Time).

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
