Well to be honest I don't think things would be so different today had that happened (Finland been a part of Germany or USSR). Would there have been more killing of people in a cold war of some kind or less? More natural disasters and either a weaker or a stronger response to them?
Finland has always paid it's dues to the UN and has a long history of serving in the UN peace keeping forces whereas the US does things like the 1993 Mogadishu operation and the UN (Pakistanis, lol) has to come in and save their sorry butts.
