I don't think it's historically that much controversial that this part of Europe, too, benefited from the slave trade and took part in it.

It's not really that complicated. Finland, as a part of Europe and the western world, benefited and continues to benefit from the capitalist system that was built on colonialism and slavery. Whether someone directly bought or sold slaves is irrelevant.

This whole thread has been raging at the people who don't want Saracen invasion to their homes

Perhaps you too should be more accepting of their cultures
I don't think that it's controversial to suggest that life in Afrika was much better during colonial times, some minor naughtiness aside.
Maybe we should consider giving some nations there a guiding hand again.

And please no sputtering about how horrible life there actually was, we know it was much better than what they have now. The clear fact is that there was no massive 'refugee' wave back then as there is now.

Funny enough, when I sat in on a transatlantic history course a few years back, these discussions were brought up.

Since Finland has a rather artificially created national view on history (Finnish writers still talk of Ruotsi-Suomi when no such thing actually existed) , we don't really ever talk about us being part of the greater European sphere in the Early Modern. Instead we have a view that we were somehow a colony of Sweden or something in that direction, when it's p obvious that just wasn't true in any way.

So Finnish people still get weirdly pissy about poo poo like pointing out that the sugar people here ate came from slave plantations and that we sold timber, tar and pitch to shipbuilders who built ships for the Triangle trade. And so on and so on.

Look, without triangle and maracas and tambourine trade we would still be stuck playing cuntele and we would never have had Sibelius, Hynynen and Matti Esko.

Yeah, back during colonial times there were plenty of Congolese people who really needed a hand or two.

Finland was an integral part of Sweden, and therefore it's kinda inaccurate to present it like there were two separate entities involved.

Admittedly I've read mostly sort-of-nationalist authors, but the picture I've gotten is that while everyone acknowledged Stockholm and the King as being the rulers, Finland always had its own strong identity and sense of separateness much stronger than other regions on the Swedish "mainland".
