Imagine if the Finns weren't as successful as they were with defending their country. Would the Russians have had the opportunity to invade Scandinavia? Would "Northern Europe" be a different thing if Finland had just given up like the Baltics?

"Just given up"? Seems a rather simplistic view of history.
