- LITERALLY was the precursor to all European naval based empires
- LITERALLY saved the world in ww2 with the Norwegian merchant fleet who at one point brought 50% of the supplies to Britain on 1000 Norwegian ships (without it they would have lost)
The world owes us money, great amounts of it, gib now, NOW gib
We gave Hitler the legal right to invade us by claiming neutrality while allowing the English to breach our sovereign borders without repercussion. Pick up a god damn book once in a while..
Jason Hernandez
>legal right to invade us
Maybe you are the one who should pick up a book

Without the Norwegian merchant fleet Britain would have lost (they almost lost anyway). Imagine them losing 50% of the supplies - forget it.
Without Britain the US would NEVER have gotten involved in the war in Europe (they almost at one point supported Germany anyway).
Also, if the US pulled out completely the Soviets wouldn't get shipments from the US (which they absolutely needed).
GERMANY WOULD HAVE WON THE WAR WITHOUT NORWAY
THERE IS ALMOST NO DOUBT AT ALL
Ryder Thomas
Insignificant compared to Norway. We had the worlds third largest merchant fleet at the time, after the US and Britain. The Danish fleet was very tiny in comparison.
Ayden Smith
The only important vikings were Danes. The only noteworthy military achievement of Norwegian vikings is getting conquered by Danes.

Congratulations, you want a medal for aiding the jews and turning our world into a dystopia without based national socialism?
Jack Davis
There would be no Danish vikings without Norway. We invaded them first (for centuries), before they started building ships and counter attacking.
A Norwegian viking king (Magnus the good) also ruled Denmark for a while. Norway was actually a strong Scandinavian country until the Black Death ruined it all.
We existed for 500 years before Sweden even came into existence (that's like half of the Roman empire life span).
Daniel Parker
Also Iceland. They are basically Norwegian smegma.

Now I hate Norway. Youve caused every unnatural death from 1945 to present

Why do you want money? Oil money in Norway is invested wisely and you governement lives off its interests.
Brayden Perry
Thank you, brave vikings

How is that working out in Colombia? We Nordics have EVOLVED into caring for others that's not even related... that's why it works here. Fuck those who say we are all the same and one race... it's not true. We are very different.

>britain "winning" the war was a good thing i mean why do i even bother?
Hudson Myers
This, though viking is a meme term anyway. It's usually not what people think it is and when it is they casually look over the fact there were many other peoples that partook in said culture; Germans, Dutch, English, etc. Hollywood movies and poor schooling don't really help mind you.
Bentley James
wtf theres a country called norway? like how much does a nor weigh lmao

Saved the world from what exactly?

Clinton foundation. Haiti. Mmmmm so much caring. So many brownie points.

Yeeeeyyyy we killed the guys that held us in thE highest regards and that wanted the best for northerners like yourself!!!yeeeeyyyywhen sweden gets out of hand you know you have a huge border with it right?
Noah Wood
>Hollywood movies
Hollywood movies are actually "somewhat accurate"... but only when it comes to Norwegian (Norse) vikings, which everything is based on (even some parts of Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings etc. - Norwegian stuff, not Danish).
Do a search for "Norwegian wood carving" then "Danish wood carving"
Logan Miller
We English were never vikings Please stop WE WUZing
Blake Lee
We had many who cooperated with Germany too. If Britain had invaded first (which they had plans to) we would probably have allied with Germany.
Anyway... shit move by Germany. If they were smarter, we would be on their side, and Britain would have 1000 ships less.
As for Sweden... who cares. If shits hits the fan, we will kill to survive. We really only pretend to be civilized (I know what I'm talking about).
Lucas Phillips
...or because the "system" works and people get punished for minor offenses people "stay low"... but if one day the system fails all hell will break lose.
Gavin Morgan
I hope things work out for your country,i seriously doubt even if the brits and french invaded Norway you would have sided with the germans,they had many times entered into your sovereign territorial water to no avail plus the merchant navy would be of little use to the germans because they had nothing to protect it with so probably lost sailors would have gone to England anyways you didn't change history so much,you helped but if Britain got the shipments it wasn't because of Norway but because of the countries actually producing those goods for them
Henry Johnson
I'm telling you 1000 of the most modern ships in the world at the time was no small deal. HALF of the supplies to Britain was brought on Norwegian ships (the third largest merchant fleet in the world at the time). They almost lost the war even with the Norwegian merchant ships on their side... imagine them losing 50% of the supplies.
We didn't just "help" we fucking won the war.
Andrew Flores
>- LITERALLY saved the world in ww2 with the Norwegian merchant fleet who at one point brought 50% of the supplies to Britain on 1000 Norwegian ships (without it they would have lost) Lulz. Norway was conquered in WWII - as you well know. Any 'Norwegian' Merchan ships that remained active did so by being British.
It's like the fucking French claiming to have 'liberated themselves' having been given 6 years worth of asylum by the UK and then equipped and transported back to the continent by us and (to a lesser extent) the USA.
Aiden Roberts
Rome existed for 2200 years. From roughly 700 BC as a kingdom and then into the republic, and then 1453 AD with the fall of Constantinople.
Christian Rodriguez
>Any 'Norwegian' Merchan ships that remained active did so by being British
The Norwegian merchant fleet was ordered by Norwegian authorities into British waters when the Germans invaded. If you had invaded first (which you had plans to) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_R_4 then those ships would have been ordered into German waters.... and you would have lost the war.
Connor Myers
That's where I disgree if the brits had invaded they would most probably gone to some neutral poet like let's say denmark or holland (at the time it was neutral)st germany they had barely any use for them,and no government wanted to join the evil axis (that's what happens with democracies there are interests over the country) You just helped...you didn't win the war,the ones fighting where the brits,the ones producing it where canadians south americans and murricans,and you transported it,if you didn't someone else would have done it,say holland,say france,say portugal say any nation promised enough shekels by the brits You did help,you chose the wrong side in my view but you helped...that's all,portugal did way more for the war effort than you did and wasn't even an ally nor even technically probritbong
David Murphy
>you transported it,if you didn't someone else would have done it,say holland,say france,say portugal say any nation promised enough shekels by the brits
kek, it's not that easy my friend. You don't magically produce 1000 ships overnight.
