The Lapua War refers to a conflict that took place in Finland during the early 1930s, primarily between the Lapua Movement, a right-wing nationalist group, and leftist organizations, including the Finnish Communist Party. The war was characterized by violent clashes and political unrest, as the Lapua Movement sought to suppress leftist ideologies and maintain conservative values in Finnish society. The conflict escalated in 1932, leading to a series of confrontations, including the infamous Lapua Incident, where the movement's members attacked leftist gatherings. Ultimately, the Finnish government intervened, leading to the decline of the Lapua Movement and a shift in the political landscape of Finland.
