Finnish Civil War (1918)
On the Russian Revolution map as “Finland’s civil war”
Jan–May 1918 — Finland has only just become independent when civil war divides it. Red workers fight White landowners and a German-backed army; after the Whites win, thousands of Reds die in camps. The memorial recalls the violence attending the small nation’s birth.

The Brest-Litovsk layer shows the source’s March–May 1918 occupation campaign envelope, rather than presenting it as the treaty text’s exact line on a single day.
Civil-war lines show the published campaign phase. Port, railway and uprising footprints represent thematic military-presence regions; their stated widths do not claim surveyed political frontiers.
