The Road to Finland's Independence

Stefan Andersson is a priest with a lifelong interest in history and has previously held well-received historical lectures in Sundsvall. Over the past year, he has delved into the 18th-century Swedish-Finnish history and the war of 1808–1809. In the lecture “The Path to Independence 1743–1814,” he highlights the significance of Göran Magnus Sprengtporten and Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt for an independent Finland. This is the first of three important stages that laid the foundation for Finland's independence.
