Reading the OP:

So this is like a good day here.
I'm going to celebrate the day by watching probably Lupaus or Tali-Ihantala, remember the sacrifices made by my grandfathers and mothers to preserve our freedom ...and drink some beer.
Does not really contain a wealth of info methinks?

OK, I'm going to break this down for you.
Title: 70 years ago.. (<- the dots indicate a pause)
Text: ...the Winter War ended. (<- so this is a part of the title's sentence)
Youtube video: A 7 minute 22 second video in english explaning the basics of what winter war was.
So this is like a good day here. (<- me pointing out the obvious significanse of the day in my countrie)
I'm going to celebrate the day by watching probably Lupaus or Tali-Ihantala, remember the sacrifices made by my grandfathers and mothers to preserve our freedom ...and drink some beer. (<- me explaning how i'm spending the day)
Picture of a painting (<- An old painting from 1899 where the 2 headed russian eagly is trying to rip off the finnish law book from the hands of the finnish maiden. This was just an "extra", you dont need to know about it to understand the topic)
Now tell me what part you didn't understand and ill try to explane it further. But its seriously not that hard to grasp the basics of the topic. 'Winter War' ended 70 years ago', get it? 70! 70th Anniversary? Heres the wikipedia article just in case:

Oh thanks man, that really helped. Because the part I was having trouble with was the "anniversary". Now you put me straight on that, it all makes sense. No, seriously, I'm genuinely chuffed.
Now let me break down your post for you - at least the part that matters.
This topic is about people who cant read the first post - I read the first post. I copied the first post. I pasted the first post. I posted what I pasted which is what I read in the first post. It told me sfa about the topic at hand (something that happened 70 odd years ago apparently) other than it was a good day and you were planning to watch a movie and have a beer.
but still bother to reply saying they don't know what the topic is about. it was havn't got a clue actually. Other than a war that started in winter ending (I assume in winter as well). But just generally, when someone says they dont know about something, the undertone of the comment is generally a question asking to be told what the something is. ie, a one or two sentence summary, not a seven minute youtube video.
So instead of taking the piss, how about being elaborating on something that's obviously important to you?

was very interesting as here in the US we don't hear about the smaller days of wars during WW2 it pretty much focuses all on the rise of the nazi power and its genocide to the jews then goes straight into the pearl harbor attacks and the a-bombs to japan

Half of my class back in High School thought America was the country to first attack Berlin, and capture it. When it was in fact the Soviet Union's Red Army that did, and no one believed me until the teacher told them I was right.

Ahh i love it when stereotypes are proven to be actual fact (that Americans are very poorly educated).
