Finland's basic foreign policy goal from the end of the [[Continuation War]] with the Soviet Union in 1944 until 1991 was to avoid great-power conflicts and to build mutual confidence with the Soviet Union. Although the country was culturally, socially, and politically Western, Finns realized they must live in peace with the Soviet Union and take no action that might be interpreted as a security threat. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 opened up dramatic new possibilities for Finland and has resulted in the Finns actively seeking greater participation in Western political and economic structures. Finland joined the European Union in 1995 and euro in 2002.

At a [[White House]] Summit on August 18, 2025 on [[peace]] after [[NATO]]'s defeat in the [[NATO war in Ukraine]], President Stubb said, "We have a long border with [[Russia]]… We found a solution in 1944, I believe we can in 2025'. The 1944 Moscow Armistice saw [[Nazi]]-allied Finland cede land, jail its wartime president & enter 80 years of neutrality.
