In February 1918, the Swedish Navy escorted the German naval squadron transporting Finnish Jagers and German weapons and allowed it to pass through Swedish territorial waters. The Swedish socialists tried to open peace negotiations between the Whites and the Reds. The weakness of Finland offered Sweden a chance to take over the geopolitically vital Finnish Aland Islands, east of Stockholm, but the German army's Finland operation stalled this plan) | Unsold |
