The Finnish Diaspora refers to the communities of Finnish people living outside of Finland. This migration has occurred over centuries, with significant movements during the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly to countries like the United States, Sweden, and Canada. Many Finns left their homeland in search of better economic opportunities, education, or to escape conflicts. Today, the Finnish Diaspora is characterized by vibrant communities that maintain their cultural heritage through language, traditions, and festivals. Organizations and associations, such as the Finnish American Society, help preserve Finnish culture and connect expatriates with their roots, fostering a sense of belonging among members.
