No. The two countries were allies from 1941-44. Finland allied itself with Germany because Finland was trying to get back areas lost after the winter war. The continuation war was the second finnish war with the Soviet Union.First one was winter war 1939-1940
During the Continuation War,Finland was co-belligerant with Nazi Germany because they depended on the German food,fuel and armament ships.During WW2,they were both against the Soviet Union,but Finland stayed outside of German command.However,they still sided with Germany until the Lapland War in 1944-45 when they drove Germans out of Northern Finland.An interesting note,Finland was the only country sided with Germany that didn't persecute any Jews,native or refugees.
Finland fought the Soviet Union in the 'Winter War', which started in 1939 and ended when the Moscow Peace Treaty was signed in 1940. Finland ceded Karelia to the Soviets. In World War Two, Finland fought against Russia but was an unofficial member of the Axis Powers. The Soviets conquered Finland on their way to Germany.
Finland did not exist as an independent nation until December 6, 1917, when it declared its independence from Russia, and a Civil War immediately began over that issue. Finland owed no WWI war debt.
Approximately 1 000 000 men in the Winter War part of WW2 and 200 000 in the Continuation War part.
Finland acctually didn't want to participate in the world war but Russia attacked Finland because they needed the land for their own support so that they could have attacked some other countries in Europe. They thought it would take about a week to take over the whole Finland but they didnt accomplish at their mission.
