Editing Sword Scabbard Declaration (section)

===World War I===
During the [[Civil War in Finland]], in February 1918, General Mannerheim, the commander of the anti-communist [[White Guard (Finland)|White Guards]], wrote his famous [[Mannerheim's Order of the Day|Order of the Day]], in which he declared that he would not set his sword to the scabbard ''"until Lenin's last soldier and hooligan is deported from Finland and [[East Karelia|White Karelia]]"'' ("... ennen kuin viimeinen Leninin soturi ja huligaani on karkoitettu niin hyvin Suomesta kuin Vienan Karjalastakin.").

The events at the end of [[World War I]] made this goal hard to accomplish, but nevertheless, two attempts were made to this end: the [[Viena expedition]] in 1918 and the [[Aunus expedition]] in 1919, during the [[Russian Civil War]], had allowed Finland to occupy and annex two regions of East Karelia - [[Repola]] and [[Porajärvi]] respectively.
