I for one like to imagine a world without WWI, and I also hope of making a TL about this one day.
Over to topic, one idea I've toyed with is Finland somehow becoming independent from the Russian Empire, but then I realised that that would likely encourage other minorities like the Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians? etc. to demand autonomy, if not, full independence.
So then I started to wonder, what is the future gonna be for Finland in a world sans WWI?
And could they ever become independent without the Russian Empire collapsing due to encouraging Russia's other minorities?
EDIT: Shit, shit, I put it in Before 1900. can someone move it please?
