    War between Finland and Britain

    Rummel concedes that at least one democracy formally declared war on another when the United Kingdom's declaration of war on Finland on December 6, 1941 in reaction to the Continuation War, when Finland allied with Germany in attacking the Soviet Union. However, the United Kingdom's only significant act of war happened prior to the declaration (a Royal Air Force raid on the port of Petsamo on July 31, 1941). Democratic peace theory proponents point out that Finland spent World War II fighting a totalitarian opponent who had attacked the nation, that the United Kingdom and Finland for almost the whole of WWII carefully avoided attacking each other, and that the causalities in the conflict with the United Kingdom were too few to be classified as a war statistically. The lavish material support United Kingdom and United States provided to Soviet Union although raises the question if democracies can make war against other democracies through proxies.
