Peace treaty my friend.
I totally agree with you Dowly. Finland lost the Winter War against the USSR but never surrendered. They did sign a peace treaty that was very harsh on Finland but at least the country managed to stay 'partially independant' (as the Soviets had 'opinions' in foreign policy until 1990s) and without soviet occupation troops.
