And I don't know about a Kingdom of Finland. But a post-independence Grand Duchy to me sounds perfect for Finland, Romanov or not. And it would be nice to see more sovereign nations that are Grand Duchies like Luxembourg around.DruSkiWadehttp://www.youtube.com/user/DruSkiWadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-80406723623446991002009-08-26T21:35:55.443-05:002009-08-26T21:35:55.443-05:00I don't know about that scenario.

What I would have preferred was that the post-independence Kingdom of Finland had been maintained. Prince Friedrich of Hessen was all set to be King of Finland when the Allies won the Great War and anyone who was German suddenly became very unpopular. I think that would have been the ideal situation -independent Kingdom of Finland.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-57354051937574064752009-08-26T21:14:57.846-05:002009-08-26T21:14:57.846-05:00Have you ever thought that Finland would and shoul...Have you ever thought that Finland would and should be better off as still a Grand Duchy when it gained it's independence from Russia. And had chose it's own grand ducal monarch aside from the Russian crown like Norway did with Sweden?DruSkiWadehttp://www.youtube.com/user/DruSkiWadenoreply@blogger.com
