The status of the autonomous entity of the Aland Islands is a unique example of solving the problem of national minorities. The history of obtaining autonomy dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century. One of the most important principles of the struggle for autonomy was the issue of guaranteeing the Swedish language for the population living in the archipelago. The League of Nations played an important role in gaining autonomy. The documents adopted by it ensured the autonomy of the Alan Islands as part of the Republic of Finland. Adopted on January 1, 1993 in Finland, the law on the self-government of the Aland Islands guarantees the archipelago broad self-government, guarantees the preservation and development of its culture and language. The" state within the state" is called Alandy, the only region of the Republic of Finland that has internal self-government, has its own Parliament, Government.
