Young Finnish Party - End of The Party

End of The Party

After the Finnish Civil War in late 1918, the Young Finnish Party finally split into two new parties. A minority of members joined with Svinhufvud the conservative, monarchist National Coalition Party (together with the majority of the Finnish Party), while the majority joined with Ståhlberg the liberal, republican National Progressive Party. After the defeat of the German Empire in World War I, the monarchist policy had collapsed and Ståhlberg, as the first President of Finland elected on July 25 1919, became the leader of the Republic of Finland.

A small economically right-wing party with the same name, Young Finns, was established in the 1990s and gained two seats in the Parliament, but lost them in the next elections.
