Moscow Peace Treaty
The Moscow Peace Treaty, signed on 12 March 1940, ended the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. Finland kept its independence but ceded about a tenth of its territory, including the Karelian Isthmus with the city of Viipuri, lands north of Lake Ladoga and part of Salla, and leased the Hanko peninsula to the Soviets. Over 400,000 Finns were evacuated from the ceded areas.
