Hackzell cabinet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antti Hackzell's cabinet was the 27th government of Republic of Finland. Cabinet's time period was from August 8, 1944, to September 21, 1944. It was a majority government.

Hackzell's government's main task was to get Finland out of the war against Soviet Union. At the end of August Antti Hackzell obtained a negotiation link with Moscow and on September 2 the government agreed to an armistice which started two days later.

Hackzell travelled to Moscow to negotiate the peace treaty but he suffered a bad stroke on September 14 and couldn no longer continue his work as minister. Foreign minister Carl Enckell succeeded him in making the Moscow Armistice treaty. New prime minister Urho Castrén took office and formed a new cabinet.
