It's relatively good short version of things. But some things need to be added: The third and last negotiations between Finland and Soviet Union was in pretty good spirits. Stalin, Molotov, Tanner and Paasikivi were all laughing, at the end of the second negotiation Molotov told Finnish representatives that this will be solved with military,. Also Finland evacuated their industry from the area but once Soviets realized it they demanded it back. -Väinö Tanner - Olin Ulkoministerinä talvisodassa. Soviets also demanded from Germany that they should get Finland in November 1940 but Germany told them it's not theirs to give. Documents on Nazz-Soviet relations 1939-1941. Germany guaranteed Romanian borders earlier and sent troops through Finland to prevent Soviets from invading it. Germans also knew that Russians were bad at war already in WWI.

You should react to some version of Evakon laulu, the song that captures the sorrow of the Karelians who had to flee beacause of the Soviet invasion. It is one of the most powerful piece of art ever made. It contains the sadness of the fate of Karelian people, but it also has some hope. As a decent of Karelian refugees I really would love you to learn about all of this. This version has English captions, maybe there are more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmPFmXmonq2Lj6M

When the Finns learned the content of the secret addendum to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, they started to mobilize the FDF 2nd week of Oct 1939. Flash fortifications & arms procurement followed. In March 1940 Finland asked for peace tho the Red Army hadn't break thru. Fin historians believe, notably Heikki Ylikangas, this followed a telephone call from Berlin advising Finland not to spend its officers & with a hint of getting even in near future.
