Yeah...no.
There was about half a dozen archaeologically established cultures with various origins between the ice age ending and the Viking age.

>Russians devastating Finnish coastline especially in the west during long years of occupation in wars against Sweden

cont.

But they sure as hell were the most savage. There is no difference between Finns and Russians. You're both animals.

>>finns dont like swedes so they rebel in 1600-
>>swedes win and kill a bunch of people

But actually Finns were siding with the future king of Sweden, Duke Charles against Stockholm and fought against other Finns like Akseli Kurki who was the commander of the armed forces in Finland.

It was political conflict later imagined as an ethnic one in 19th century to bolster nationalism.

No, Swedish sources don't count, Cai-Göran.

Just read the fucking Wikipedia since you know nothing about the conflict

Anyway, trying to paint some Ostrobothnians chimping out with poor success as Finnish national heroes is a joke.

>Pre-history
Mostly unknown, Swedish scribes of ancient times spoke of eastern tribes of Fenni and their kings, then later on as Swedes took over Finland their historians claimed Finns were a bunch of stone age folks who were civilized by Swedes.
Some archeological findings are made every now and then pointing towards there having been an iron age level civilization in the area prior to Swedish invasions.
>Swedish/Russian empire duration
Times of peace punctuated by war and the great northern war was particularly horrible in Finland, due to simultanious hit of a plague, famine and Russian troops raping, killing and enslaving population.
Then later still when Finland became part of the Russian empire, it was given certain level of autonomy and Helsinki was made into the capitol of the grand duchy (so the capital would be closer to Russia than the old Capitol of Turku).
