The Soviets had a very tough time trying to invade Finland. Despite being far superior in numbers and weaponry, the Soviets actually suffered incredibly high losses, especially in the first battle. The Fins used the geography of their country to their advantage, as well as their skiing and shooting skills. The Soviets were under constant surprise attacks that were very efficient and quick, and not living them time to even react. Stalin got so angered that he sent very large portion of the military in the following battle, as well as lot of tanks. The Fins were not able to fight them off anymore, and surrendered, but still they were very proud that they made such big damage on the enemy and resisted it.

As a result of the First Gulf War, Kuwait became an independent nation again.
Explanation:
The Gulf War was a conflict between Iraq and UN-coalition forces led by the United States between August 2, 1990 and February 28, 1991. On the morning of 2 August 1990, Iraqi national forces invaded Kuwait and annexed the country. The UN launched Operation Desert Shield to prevent Iraqi troops from invading Kuwait's oil-rich neighbor, Saudi Arabia. The United States and its allies liberated Kuwait in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm.
Coalition forces conducted more than 100,000 missions using more than 88 tons of ammunition. Several military and civilian targets were destroyed during the bombings. The Iraqi government had a plan to attack Israel with missiles if they were attacked, which it did. The Iraqi attacks on Israel killed two people and injured 230 more.
On January 29, Iraqi forces attacked and occupied the Saudi Arabian city of Khafji. The Battle of Khafj lasted for two days until Saudi Arabia's and coalition forces drove Iraqi troops out of the city. Both sides suffered heavy losses in terms of both staff and equipment.
