What actually occurred when the Soviets launched an invasion on Finland during the Winter War?

In the cold north, a storm did grow

As the Soviet bear, its claws did show

Upon the land of a thousand lakes

Where the Finnish lion, its ground would take

The Winter War, a story of strength and will

When Stalin's army, the border did fill

With tanks and planes, and men so many

Against a foe, outnumbered by plenty

But Finland's people, they would not give in

In forests thick and snowy terrain

With ski and gun, they did stand

To protect their beloved homeland

Mannerheim, the lion of the north

His line of defense, holding forth

Against the Red Army's endless wave

That crashed and broke, with many in the grave

And in the woods, a ghost did roam

The White Death, Häyhä, far from home

With iron sights and steady hand

He made the invaders fear the land

For months they fought, with courage and skill

Through winter's dark and freezing chill

The Soviets, their numbers vast

But Finnish spirit, unsurpassed

Though peace would come, when war did end

And Finland's borders, they did bend

The world had seen, with awe and pride

How a small nation, the bear defied

The Winter War, a tale to tell

Of bravery, strength, and fighting well

When Finland stood, against the odds

And wrote their legend, in blood on snow.
