After Joseph Stalin's Great Purge, there was a lack of experienced officers in the Red Army, limiting his ability to capture the country. As proven time again, the Finns defending their homeland against a foreign invader by putting up a significant resistance. The Finns also had sufficient knowledge of their terrain and used tactics such as ski's to outmaneuver and flank their enemies. Despite these obstacles, the Soviets succeeded in capturing much of the country. However, it was only after they took massive casualties.
  • The Winter War was a small, short, and relatively bloodless conflict between Kaedwen and Redania in 1272. The crossing of Kestrel Mountains by the Redanian royal army began the conflict. The combatants of the conflict depend on choices made during chapter II of The Witcher 2 but the outcome is in Redania's favor under all circumstances.
  • The Winter War was the last war the Nezumi participated in as a whole race.
  • The Winter War of 1999 - 2005 was a war between Angry Birds (Finland) and Tetris (Soviet Union). It is considered to be one of the most crucial moments in Finland's recent history.
  • The Winter War was a conflict in The North fought between the forces of House Baratheon under Stannis Baratheon, House Bolton and various other houses of the North loyal to House Stark. It was fought between the years 300 - 302 AC and was part of the larger War of the Five Kings. The Winter War ended with the restoration of House Stark in Winterfell under Rickon Stark with the establishment of Wyman Manderly as Lord Regent.

  • The Winter War (Finnish: Talvisota, Swedish: Vinterkriget, Russian: Зимняя война, also known as the Soviet-Finnish War or the Russo-Finnish War) began when the Soviet Union attacked Finland on November 30, 1939, three months after the invasion of Poland by Germany and the Soviet Union that started World War II. Because the attack was judged as illegal, the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations on December 14. Soviet leader Josef Stalin had expected to conquer the whole country by the end of 1939, but Finnish resistance frustrated the Soviet forces, who outnumbered the Finns 4:1 in men, 100:1 in tanks and 30:1 in aircraft. Finland held out until March 1940, when the Moscow Peace Treaty was signed ceding about 10% of Finland's territory (excluding its population) and 20% of it

Quote
  • Every Mid-Winter's Day, the whole college stages a campaign, to test our skills, to ward off cabin fever, to give us points toward our eventual placement as second-year cadets. Usually there are two teams. […] That's nine flags, rated according to each house's importance. You have to protect your own three and try to get the other six. Failing that, you do as much damage to your opponents as possible. […] Usually it's enough to incapacitate an enemy by seizing his or her token scarf. Lethal weapons are forbidden, […] but things can still get rough. That's why certain randon wander around masked, therefore technically invisible, to see that we don't all slaughter each other. But it is a time traditionally to settle grudges, so walk wary.

abstract
  • The Winter War (Finnish: Talvisota, Swedish: Vinterkriget, Russian: Зимняя война, also known as the Soviet-Finnish War or the Russo-Finnish War) began when the Soviet Union attacked Finland on November 30, 1939, three months after the invasion of Poland by Germany and the Soviet Union that started World War II. Because the attack was judged as illegal, the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations on December 14. Soviet leader Josef Stalin had expected to conquer the whole country by the end of 1939, but Finnish resistance frustrated the Soviet forces, who outnumbered the Finns 4:1 in men, 100:1 in tanks and 30:1 in aircraft. Finland held out until March 1940, when the Moscow Peace Treaty was signed ceding about 10% of Finland's territory (excluding its population) and 20% of its industrial capacity to the Soviet Union. The results of the war were mixed. Soviet losses on the front were tremendous, and the country's international standing suffered, especially following its earlier attack on Poland. Even worse, the fighting ability of the Red Army was put into question, a fact that contributed to Adolf Hitler's decision to launch Operation Barbarossa. Finally, the Soviet forces did not accomplish their primary objective of conquest of Finland but gained only a secession of territory along Lake Ladoga. The Finns retained their sovereignty and gained considerable international goodwill. The March 15 peace treaty thwarted Franco-British preparations to send support to Finland through northern Scandinavia (the Allied campaign in Norway) which would also have hindered German access to northern Sweden's iron ore. Germany's invasion of Denmark and Norway on April 9 1940, diverted the attention of the world to the struggle for possession of Norway. The Winter War was a military disaster for the Soviet Union. However, Stalin did learn from this fiasco and realized that political control over the Red Army was no longer feasible. After the Winter War, the Kremlin initiated the process of reinstating qualified officers and modernizing its forces, a crucial decision that enabled the Soviets to eventually resist the German invasion.

  • The Winter War is an annual military exercise, a traditional mock-battle, that takes place at Tentir. In Jame's time, it takes place during the Bound in Blood. It is essentially a real-life version of the Kencyr strategy game Gen. There are usually two armies, though in Jame's year there are three. The master-tens of each house compete to see who leads the army and who gets to choose another house to add to their army first. When the Lordans of three houses are present, they are automatically the commanders of their armies. Jame, Timmon, and Gorbel each lead one army in Bound in Blood. Each master-ten has a flag for their house, which are hidden. These are worth a certain number of points when captured, based on the size of the house in question. The randon scarves of the members of the armies are also worth points. The commander's is worth the most, then the other two master tens, the ten-commanders, the five commanders, and the regular cadets are worth the least. When someone's scarf is captured, they are considered "scalped" and must stay where they are for the rest of the War, unless their scarf is returned to them. There are also several randon supervisors who, "invisible" and inviolate, ensure that no cadets are seriously injured or killed.
