Life expectancy in Finland was 35.3 in the year 1765, and over the course of the next 255 years, it is expected to have increased by over double this, to 81.6 years by 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout Finland's history, it fluctuated greatly between 1765 and 1875, in the 1910s because of the Spanish Flu epidemic that swept across the world and the Finnish Civil War, and again during the Second World War in the 1930s and 40s.
