Finland

Why not?

I assume you mean "Why does Finland exist?," or, "How did Finland form?"

Finland was formed by the Treaty of Versailes, which ended World War One.

EDIT: No, Finland wasn't formed by the Treaty of Versailles. Finland is an older nation which has been under the Swedish empire and later the Russian empire. Finland became independent from Russia (Finland had autonomy) in 1917-1918 (Yes, after WWI) through Finland's own effort. And without bloodshed. :)

The first inhabitants of Finland were the Sami (Lapp) people. When Finnish speakers migrated to Finland in the first millennium B.C., the Sami were forced to move northward to the arctic regions, with which they are traditionally associated. The Finns' repeated raids on the Scandinavian coast impelled Eric IX, the Swedish king, to conquer the country in 1157. It was made a part of the Swedish kingdom and converted to Christianity.

Most Finns are quite fluent in English. It is also mandatory to learn Swedish in Finland, so he'll know at least some Swedish.

in Sweden of course, but they also speak swedish in Finland but not much

No, each of the Scandinavian countries has its own language, in Finland it is Finnish.
