He mainly outlined Finland's military and geopolitical position in the Swedish empire in the 18th century. He wrote also a survey in 10 parts on Finland's history: Suomen Kansan aikakirjat (1927–38), in which he popularised the results of the historical research. The work should be regarded as a Finnish counterpart to the works of the Swedish historian Carl Grimberg. Juva also wrote a biography of P. E. Svinhufvud and Rudolf Walden.
He served as rector of the University of Turku from 1934 to 1945.[1] He died in Turku, aged 74.
Together with his son Mikko Juva he wrote Suomen kansan historia (5 parts, 1964–67).
