| Summary |
"Suomi Jäämerellä" by Väinö Voionmaa is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work examines the geographical, historical, and economic aspects concerning Finland's relationship with the Arctic Ocean, also known as the Jäämeri. Voionmaa appears to aim at elucidating Finland's historical claims and rights to access this crucial body of water, emphasizing its importance for the nation's development and future. The opening of the text begins with an introduction that communicates a strong sentiment of urgency felt by the Finnish population regarding their longstanding exclusion from the Arctic Ocean. The author expresses a collective belief that now is the time for Finland to establish its connection to the Jäämeri, presenting it not just as a matter of rectifying historic injustices, but also as a vital opportunity for economic growth and national identity. Voionmaa outlines the various sections of the work, intending to shed light on the Arctic region's natural resources, economic prospects, and Finland's rightful place within this larger narrative. The beginning sets a tone of determination and serves as a rallying call for the Finnish people to reclaim their geographical and historical connections to the Jäämeri.
