One of the largest wars in the world at this moment is the Russia-Ukraine war. It recently reached its 2 year anniversary with Ukraine still holding out. Much of the international community assumed that Ukraine would be steamrolled by its larger neighbor Russia. Contrary to this opinion Ukraine stubbornly survived Russia's initial attacks and pushed them back so Russian now only holds the Donbas region Crimea and a land bridge connecting the two. This is not a new phenomenon however. In 1939 a similar situation played out albeit farther north. The large nation of the USSR had its eyes set on its seemingly weaker neighbor of Finland, with an invasion of the nation likely, but the Soviets would soon see that the small but mighty nation of Finland was no pushover.
