The Western nations poured in their support for republicanists, but had been too late. The League of Nations was infuriated of the situation, and demanded that Russian forces withdraw their support, to which Cyril I and Baron Wrangel publicly rejected, and supported the ascent of Prince Anatol von Lieven as the King of Finland. Therefore in 1921, the Second Finnish Civil War commenced, and Baron Wrangel ordered Russian forces in the north to aid the monarchists. Therefore, Finnish monarchists now turned their eyes towards Russia, whom they ironically declared independence from not too long ago. In addition, the German Empire, whom Finnish monarchists had regarded to be the backer of the Finnish Nobility, had fallen, and the League of Nations forebode German influence in global politics, including the prohibition of the installation of a German prince, in this case, Frederick Charles as the King of Finland.Īfter the Tsarists solidified control of Russia, they now considered Russia to be the defender of monarchies, Cyril I vested military powers in Baron Pyotr Nikolaevich Wrangel, who supported the ascent of a King in Finland.

Cyril I, the post-World War I Tsar of Russia was anti-Western, and when he heard of the situation in Finland, promised C.G.E Mannerheim that he would install a King of Finland. In addition, the Tsarist regime had been going on a purge of all anti-Tsarists, even if they were Whites, therefore the political environment in Russia had been overwhelmingly anti-republicanist.
In 1921, Finland had been a republic, while Russia was restored under a constitutional Tsarist government. An entire faction of the Hessian royal family, the Landgraves of Hesse, all migrated to the Baltics, who would later be installed as the ruling royal family of Finland. Finnish conservatives, annoyed with sharing the Parliament with socialists, took upon this, a perfect opportunity to stage an uprising of their own. In the 1930s, the "would-be" Nazis of our OTL failed in their uprising in Germany, therefore, many migrated en masse to Finland and Russia. The name is misleading, the Russian goal was not to re-annex Finland, but to send forces into Finland in support of the monarchists, to install a Monarch as a the Head of State. The Winter War (Russian: Русско-финская война, Russko-finskaya voyna Finnish: Venäjän ja Suomen sota) also known as the Great National Uprising was a Russian-Baltic German-backed military operation in Finland that coincided with the 1939 Monarchial Uprising and Second Finnish Civil War.
