Operation Alaska (Finnish: Operaatio Alaska), Finalaska or New Finland (Uusi Suomi) was a plan proposed in 1940 by some US officials at the Department of the Interior to take Finnish refugees into Alaska if the Soviet Union would have conquered Finland. There were plans to take Finns into Alaska, both during the Winter War and the Continuation War.
