What bodies of water border Sweden?
This is somewhat complicated. To the north you have the Barents Sea, on the coast of Finland. To the west, on the coast of Norway you have the Norwegian Sea. Bodies of water that actually touch Sweden are: In the east you have to Bay of Bothnia, the Gulf of Bothinia and farther south the Baltic Sea. To the southwest of Sweden you have the Skagerrak inlet (sea) and the straits of Kattegat. The Skagerrak inlet (or sea) ties into the North Sea to the southwest.
Does the Soviet Union border Finland?
I'd like to know a better answer, and hope this starter will provoke one. There could be two reasons: (a) The Soviets were nervous, in the late 1930s, about the proximity of the Finnish border to Leningrad (Petersburg.) Until the pact of mid-1939 was signed with the German government, the Soviet one would need to plan for a possible German attack through Finland, with which the Germans had been on friendly terms for twenty years. Leningrad would in such circumstances be hard to defend. (b) There is a long-running wish in Russia for a warm-water port. Helsinki would not provide a warmer one than Leningrad, but if (big "if") a successful war against the Finns resulted in Sweden being intimidated by Soviets on its border, the prize of Gothenburg would be within Soviet grasp; and while Gothenburg may not be exactly warm, it does have open access to the Atlantic; the Baltic is a big salt lake with a narrow exit which any enemy in Denmark, Sweden or Norway could readily dominate. This may be why the Swedish government, while stopping short of joining the Winter War on Finland's side, did allow some 8,000 "volunteers" to go to Finland's aid, equipped with a useful part of the Swedish Air Force. ______________________________________________________________ As with most of the reasons for conflict during WWII, the reason goes back to the end of World War I. Until 1918-1919, Findland had been a part of Russia but with the chaos of the Communist Revolution, the Finish people revolted and won their independence. Lenin and the Bolsheviks had enough trouble fighting the civil war to worry about breakaway republics like Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, etc and Finland. The Soviets signed a secret pact, dividing up Poland with the Germans and this pact also allowed for the Soviets reclaiming the breakaway republics. The Soviet Union asked for land concessions from Findland for "defense of the Motherland." The Fins refused and the Soviets invaded.
