The Treaty of Tartu [October 1920] (Finland–Russia) was enacted following a significant armed conflict, often referred to as the Second Finno-Soviet War, that took place between Finland and Soviet Russia from March 1918 to May 1920. This conflict unfolded concurrently with the Russian Civil War. Sparked by Finland's annexation of several Soviet districts in East Karelia, which was executed by Finnish expeditionary forces, the conflict has never been officially recognized as a "war" by either Finnish or Soviet historiography.
The treaty delineated new boundaries between Finland and Soviet Russia, with Finland acquiring Petsamo (marked in red). This acquisition allowed Finland access to the Arctic Ocean through a strategic corridor, including the valuable frost-free port of Petsamo and the region's nickel mines. Meanwhile, the previously annexed regions of Repola and Porajärvi (marked in green) reverted to Soviet Russia

From 1808 to 1821, Rio de Janeiro was the capital of the Portuguese Empire,
this situation prompted by Napoleon's invasion of Portugal. Dom João, the prince regent for Queen Maria I, relocated the royal court and government to Brazil, enabling the Portuguese government to administer its empire from Rio while the Portuguese kept fighting France’s expansion. The court stayed in Rio even after Napoleon's defeat. In 1815, the Portuguese Empire was restructured into the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves, making Rio the official capital and marking the only instance of a European nation governed from a colony. However, the 1820 Liberal Revolution of Porto called for the return of the monarch and court to Portugal, ending Rio's status as the capital
