In the spring of 1918, as Finland's civil war raged, the White Senate made a fateful decision that could have reshaped the nation's identity for generations: they invited a German prince to become king of Finland. This episode unpacks the astonishing story of Friedrich Karl von Hessen, the Hessian prince who was elected King Väinö I of Finland but never set foot on the throne. We explore why Finland, after centuries under Swedish and Russian rule, turned to Germany for a monarch, how the Kaiser's support intertwined with the Whites' victory, and how Germany's collapse in November 1918 forced Finland to abruptly abandon its royal experiment. We also touch on the role of Pehr Evind Svinhufvud, the regent who championed the monarchy, and the quiet constitutional manoeuvring that gave way to a republic in 1919. This is a tale of war, diplomacy, and a crown that never was. #Finland #GermanTies #FriedrichKarlvonHessen #VäinöI #FinnishMonarchy #CivilWar #Svinhufvud #Mannerheim #1918 #Republic #History #FexingoHistory #NorthernEurope #WWI #Hesse #Constitution #Eduskunta #RoyalExperiment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
