The Aho Government started its term when Finland was in the midst of its history’s worst economic downfall and a banking crisis. In 1991, the failed coup in Moscow ended the Soviet Union and the Aho cabinet terminated the Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance.
Finland joined the European Union in 1995 following the 1994 referendum. The Christian League left the Government because they opposed Finland’s membership in the European Union.
