The Winter War was a militaryconflict between the Soviet Union and Finland in 1939–1940. It began with the Soviet invasionof Finland on 30 November 1939 (three months after the outbreak of World War II), and endedand expelled the Soviet Union from the League on 14 December 1939.The Soviet Union ostensiblysought to claim parts of Finnish territory, demanding—amongst other concessions—that Finlandcede substantial border territories in exchange for land elsewhere, claiming security reasons,primarily the protection of Leningrad, which was only 32 km (20 mi) from the Finnish border.Finlandrefused and the USSR invaded the country.

The Soviets possessed more than three times asmany soldiers as the Finns, thirty times as many aircraft, and a hundred times as many tanks.The Red Army, however, had been crippled by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin's Great Purge of 1937.With more than 30,000 of its officers executed or imprisoned, including most of those of theof these factors, and high morale in the Finnish forces, Finland repelled Soviet attacks forseveral months, much longer than the Soviets expected.
