This video features the history of Suomenlinna, off the coast of Helsinki (Finland). In the 18th century, these quiet skerries were transformed into a bastion fortress. The project was named "Sveaborg" and was meant to defend the Finnish coastline against attacks from the Russian Empire. As a result of the Finnish War (1808-1809), the islands changed hands and the Swedish Empire lost control over all of Finland. Sveaborg was now controlled and modernized by the Russians. Amidst the chaos of the Russian Revolutions of the 20th century, Finland declared itself independent and the fortress was renamed "Suomenlinna". A remarkable place, which testifies of Finnish endurance!
