History[eedit | eedit soorce]

Historically, Karelie wis a region tae the northwast o Roushie, east o present-day Finland, controlt bi the Novgorod Republic. Frae the 13t century an onwart, various pairts wis conquered bi Swaden, an incorporate intae Swadish Karelie till thay wis lost tae Roushie bi the Treaty o Nystad in 1721.

In 1920, the province became the Karelian Labour Commune. In 1923, the province became the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Karelian ASSR). Frae 1940 it wis made intae the Karelo-Finnish SSR, incorporatin the Finnish Democratic Republic whilk nominally operatit in thae pairts o Finnish Karelie that wis occupeed bi the Soviet Union in the Winter War. Annexed territories wur incorporatit intae Karelo-Finnish SSR, but efter the Continuation War the Karelian Isthmus wis incorporatit intae the Leningrad Oblast. Its status wis chynged back tae an ASSR in 1956. In the Continuation War in 1941 Finland occupied lairge pairts o the aurie but wis forced tae athdraw in 1944. Tho Finland isna currently pursuin ony measures tae reclaim Karelian lands cedit tae Roushie, the "Karelian Question" is still a topic present in Finnish politics.

The autonomous Republic o Karelie in its present form wis formed on 13 November 1991.
