    wanted Finland to give it areas

    And offered more area in Karelia in return, it wasn’t some kind of a one-sided deal

      Area cutting through the Finnish main defensive line and an important peninsula and harbor close to Helsinki vs. areas in the middle of nowhere in Karelia. It wasn’t a one-sided suggestion, in fact by area I think the offer was bigger, but it’s easy to see why it wasn’t accepted when you consider what would be given and where.
