It will be recalled that world opinion favored Finland. The League of Nations condemned Russia as an aggressor and called upon the world to help her victim. Aid did not materialize in sufficient quantity to permit Finland to win the war. There is evidence to prove that France and England contemplated active intervention and that France had troops standing in readiness awaiting the signal to embark for Finland. However, this aid never was set in motion, and on March 12, 1940, the peace of Moscow was signed. It provided that Finland should cede to Russia the whole of the Karelian Isthmus, including the city of Viipuri and Viipuri Bay; the territory west and north of Lake Ladoga, including some of the battlefields of the war; and a number of islands in the Gulf of Finland. The Finns were required to grant to the USSR a thirty-year lease of the Hangoe peninsula. All in all, the ceded terri- tory amounted to about 8,000 square miles.
