Finland never broke off of Russia?

As for events, again, I'm a one-woman team. I'd like some help...
Well, for one Finland did not just broke off Russia in the classic sense (revolution -> fighting off the invaders). Finland declared independence without foreign intervention, Russians left the country after the brief Civil War and Finland just huddled down without intervention in the Russian civil war. Lenin recognized Finland's independence and USSR showed no interest in Finland before WW2.

Furthermore, Germany protected Finland. If Germany survived WW1 it would have Finland in its sphere. And a historical matter: after the Winter War the Soviets asked Hitler permission to attack Finland again. Hitler declined and thus Soviets could not attack.


P.S. I may have come off too rude, but I'd be happy to assist here. Should you come with a coherent history, this mod can turn our quite interesting.
 
Well I'd say the Weltkrieg didn't necessarily occur as it did. I'd say that the Weltkrieg went... different.

Greater Germania: In the "Prusso-Austrian War", Austria was brutally defeated, and was forced to sign the Treaty of Katowice, with Austria surrendering it's sphere of influence to Prussia, and becoming a subject state within the German Confederation. In 1871, the Germans united against France, with Austria refusing to join the "German Empire". A short war ensued and in 1874, Germany and Austria unified into "Greater Germania". The Weltkrieg (1914-1919) was a clear draw between the Central Powers (Germany, Byzantium), and the Entente (UNAR, Bourbon, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy and the Russian Empire), as a result, Germany's empire remained unscathed, but in the recent years, revolutionary feelings have emerged among the South Germans, and they are kind of plotting to break off of "Greater Germania" as the "South German Empire".
