1852 CE to 1863 CE

Finland's nationalist movement, emerging as a debate among educated Finns, will reach ever wider circles of the Finnish people in succeeding decades in the nineteenth century.

Major breakthroughs for the Finnish-language movement are made possible by Russia's humiliating defeat in the Crimean War (1853-56), which opens up an era of reform in Russia.

For example, in 1858 Finnish is established as the language of local self-government in those administrative districts where it is spoken by the majority of the inhabitants.
