No, it hasn’t. They lost a large chunk of land and every male still needs to spend one year of their life defending their country. | ||||||||

"They lost a large chunk of land" I've asked Gemini. Interestingly, they were offered over 2x as much territory in exchange for 1.5% of their land. Curiously, Wikipedia doesn't mention that in the Winter War article. They lost 10-11% after WW2. Which deal was better? "every male still needs to spend one year of their life" Not 1 year. Gemini says it's 6-12 months, and several European countries not bordering the big bad fit that criteria. Who exactly is after Austria, which has conscription, but has been neutral since basically the entire cold war? Or the famously neutral Switzerland? "No, it hasn’t."
