However, for several decades, Russian rulers did not require military service from Finland; operations and defence were mostly taken care by Russian troops based in the Grand Duchy.

The Finnish Guard took part in fighting to suppress the 1830 <a href="/wiki/November_Uprising" title="November Uprising">November Uprising</a> in Poland and participated in the <a href="/wiki/Russo-Turkish_War_(1877%E2%80%931878)" title="Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878)">Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878)</a>, after which it gained the status of Old Guard of the Russian Emperor. </p><p>The Finnish army was gradually broken up during the "<a href="/wiki/Russification_of_Finland" title="Russification of Finland">oppression years</a>" just after the turn of the century. As Finnish conscripts refused to serve in the Russian Imperial Army, conscription ended in Finland and it was replaced with a tax paid from the Finnish Senate to the Imperial treasury. </p><p>At the end of the 19th century the Russian empire was weakening, and this was reflected in a reduced capacity of the Russian troops to keep public order. Voluntary defence organizations disguised as fire brigades were formed by the Finnish people, especially during the strikes during and after the Russo-Japanese War. </p><p>There were socialist Red Guards and conservative, anti-socialist Protection Guards (or White Guards). Also, during the First World War activists secretly travelled to Germany to receive military training and to be trained as <a href="/wiki/J%C3%A4ger_Movement" title="Jäger Movement">Jäger</a> troops (Finnish: <i lang="fi">jääkärit</i><i>,</i> Swedish: <i lang="sv">jägare</i>). </p><p>After <a href="/wiki/Independence_of_Finland" title="Independence of Finland">independence</a> and the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/Finnish_Civil_War" title="Finnish Civil War">Finnish Civil War</a> the White government declared the <a href="/wiki/White_Guard_(Finland)" title="White Guard (Finland)">White Guards</a> as government troops, and the war was fought between the <a href="/wiki/Red_Guards_(Finland)" title="Red Guards (Finland)">Red Guards</a>, assisted by Communist Russians, and White Guards added with the Jägers and assisted by the German Empire. </p><p>After the war in 1919, the Protection Guards became a separate organization. Therefore, strictly speaking, there is no continuity between the White Guards, which <a href="/wiki/White_Guard_(Finland)#The_White_Guards_after_the_Civil_War" title="White Guard (Finland)">became a voluntary organization</a>, and the Finnish army, which was a cadre army based on conscription. However, <a href="/wiki/J%C3%A4ger_Movement" title="Jäger Movement">Jägers</a> gained important positions in the army, and German tactics and military principles were adopted. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Winter_War">Winter War</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Finnish_Army&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Winter War"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Winter_War" title="Winter War">Winter War</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:A_Finnish_Maxim_M-32_machine_gun_nest_during_the_Winter_War.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b7/A_Finnish_Maxim_M-32_machine_gun_nest_during_the_Winter_War.jpg/220px-A_Finnish_Maxim_M-32_machine_gun_nest_during_the_Winter_War.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="144" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b7/A_Finnish_Maxim_M-32_machine_gun_nest_during_the_Winter_War.jpg/330px-A_Finnish_Maxim_M-32_machine_gun_nest_during_the_Winter_War.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b7/A_Finnish_Maxim_M-32_machine_gun_nest_during_the_Winter_War.jpg/440px-A_Finnish_Maxim_M-32_machine_gun_nest_during_the_Winter_War.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4864" data-file-height="3187" /></a><figcaption>Finnish troops at a machine gun post during the <a href="/wiki/Winter_War" title="Winter War">Winter War</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The Finnish Army consisted of 9 field divisions, 4 brigades and a number of small independent battalions and companies at the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/Winter_War" title="Winter War">Winter War</a> in 1939.

While the Finns saw this as a separate conflict much like the Continuation War, German forces considered their actions to be part of the Second World War. A peculiarity of the war was that the Finnish army was forced to demobilise their forces while at the same time fighting to force the German army to leave Finland. The German forces retreated to Norway, and Finland was, therefore, able to uphold its armistice promise to the Soviet Union. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cold_War">Cold War</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Finnish_Army&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Cold War"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>During the Cold War, Finland was neutral but maintained close ties to the Soviet Union.
