Wikipedia: The Kingdom of Finland was an abortive attempt to establish a monarchy in Finland, following Finland's independence from Russia. Had the German Empire endured, Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse would have been installed as King of Finland. At the urging of the German Empire, Finland had declared independence from what was the former Russian Empire, at that time embroiled in the Russian Civil War, on December 6, 1917, leading to a fierce debate on whether the new state should declare itself a republic or remain a monarchy.
