17th-18th century Sweden was The rome of the north.

Bringer of civilisation, elite army. Instead of controlling the med sea we controlled The baltic

Quite aesthetically pleasing borders.

looks like a fag

>finland and a piece of norway

why call your own king a fag?

Missed a spot, didn't you?

Nice empire you got there

what's you gonna do about it, fag

Also a piece of Denmark and two pieces of Germany.
Looks like a hero from a fantasy story. The epitome of regal majesty. Just like all Swedish kings

>it's this thread again

*gets castrated by russia*

History's greatest westaboo.

denmark i love you now

Our control of the Sea was already secured.

*takes your country without even trying as a compensation*

Omg who cares, we still have all that minus some inbred mongoloids in a swamp.

My ancestors :)

why are all swedes here such MUH EMPIRE larping fags?

Hmm, those borders are bit too large don't you think?

looks norwegian

How would you have done it differently?

We aren't, I'd rather we give away lappland to Finland to get rid of the Mongoloid pest

Fun fact: Our country actually got bigger when we took Norway

Like with rome the eastern half turned out much better after separation

Well duh. Stockholm is our capital.

By not existing? Logically speaking form retrospect only way Sweden would've stayed as it was, was that Russia wouldn't be unified. which was impossible from the moment Muscovy unified the russian states.

No matter how much you speculate that Russia might've been a underdeveloped backwater on the brink of destruction it's growth was always better and faster compared to Sweden due to it's limited population.

""""""""""""""""neutral"""""""""""""""""

How does that work? Your lost territories were 377 426km2 While Norway is 323 787km2
I think 377 426 is a bigger number

>Save Christianity
>Become atheist

Ive never seen a Dane go all muh north sea empire, something way more impressive than the swedish «empire», yet Swedes sperg about it all the time

Wow nonetheless Sweden LOST an integrated part of it's realm that had been so for almost 500 years. It's not something that just shrug's off your reputation

Our crown prince was literally assassinated during a diplomatic mission.

>no denmark
>no norway except like 1 fjord
>no russian samis/kola

bretty shit/10

Are Rome's neighbors equally assblasted over shit that happened hundreds of years ago which was ultimately to their benefit?

Novgorod Republic >>>>>>>>> Norhcucks

Fuck Sweden. Fuck Rurik. Fuck Rus. Fuck Moscovia.

>something way more impressive than the swedish «empire»

North shit empire:
>Take underpopulated backwater shithole Norway and its colonies
>Conquer England at its weakest and most disunited

Vilken syftar du till?

>Could've become a major colonial power
>Cucked eternally by losing a french proxy war

Yeah we should annex Norway, but not Denmark, they belong to Germany.

Folke Bernadotte

And just getting BTFO by England for the hell of it

imperialist pigs should be executed

>Folke Bernadotte
Nog var väl Folke aldrig kronprins?

england must pay reperations

Han avstod, men var kronprins ett tag.

>When the 11th century began its fourth decade, Canute was, with the single exception of the Emperor, the most imposing ruler in Latin Christendom. ... [H]e was lord of four important realms and the overlord of other kingdoms. Though technically Canute was counted among the kings, his position among his fellow-monarchs was truly imperial. Apparently he held in his hands the destinies of two great regions: the British Isles and the Scandinavian peninsulas. His fleet all but controlled two important seas, the North and the Baltic. He had built an Empire.[1]
Compare this to the Swedish «empire», famous for ruling over a few friozen forests sparsely popuoatedlated by a few Finns and getting half of it annexed by russia

Populated*, fuck phoneposting

Stop with your Stockholm syndrome lol

>"Empire" of disloyal peasants who simply left once the only guy holding it together kicked it
>vs an empire which lasted for hundreds of years, multiple rulers and left sweden tons of land

>we controlled an unwanted sea that's iced over for X months
>had to invade norway for all year access, but didn't actually conquer the entire country

The swedish «empire» lasted for barely 100 years and it left no legacy behind, except for a history of ruling over frozen wasteland inhabited by reindeerfuckers

Swedens viking empire was larger

>s-stockholm syndrome
Go jerk off to fanfic where Charles XII didnt get his brains blown out while listening to Sabaton

>sweden
*planned ethnic genocide on norwegians because swedish girls prefered norwegian men

sauce: swedish historian

Too bad for you guys that we already was allied with Britain. Soo much for your plans kek kek kek

>inb4 RURIK was a FINN

>lasted for barely 100 years

Are you stupid or just norwegian?

That's cute
Just because he might've been genetically closer to a Finn it doesn't meant much. Most north-western Russians are genetically Finns, but they're Russians.
I don't know why some Finns sperg about that. Fenno-swedes in the west coast aren't any different genetically than the finnish speakers next to them

>People who adopted slavic language and Names only after a mere generation.

Truly swedish indeed.

Swedish larping and wewuzzing compares to that of the finnish and negro and in arrogance goes ways above either.

110 years
Thats not centuries, thats barely a century

Bring odens.

I always find it hilarious how some countries lost their empire status by getting rekt hard.

Are Nordic people the only ones who learn about Nordic history? When you guys talk about your past, I never see other flags chime in.

>get BTFO by Danes
c'est la vie

Because of this my name is Oleg, and my father's name is Igor.

// Scandinavic names

Since it's pretty much irrelevant other than 30 years wars and Russia

Because nordic history is laughably irrelevant and only larping losers like op brag about shit like "the swedish empire" despite its greatest achievements being bullying less powerful countries and getting btfo by slavs. No one else in the entire world cares about nordic history.

You paid reparations to them for the Danelaw, you filthy Dane spear faggot

yes sweden
we too used to be relevant

>snownigger """"""""'empires"""""""""

Stop wanting to be relevant

The rulers of rus kept norse names for over a century

Good empires.

>entire modern day scandinavia has less than HALF of the population of the roman empire at its height

Why is it only Sweden with these empire fantasies?
Denmark would have more reasons for them.

Nobody cares about you finngoloid, go merge with Russia.

no one cares about eastern european wars you subhuman

>Denmark would have more reasons for them.
Wrong. Denmark was never a great power

denmark grew out of its edgy imperialist phase, while sweden is still stuck in the past.

Many modern Slavic names are a mix of Scandinavian and old Slavic names i. e.

Svyatoslav = swina-slaw (svenoslav)
Svyatopolk = Zwentibald

We did too though, we haven't been in a single war since 1814 unless you count sending some troops to the middle east. It's just this shitposter OP. He makes these same threads in /his/ too.
You have to admit though, the Caroleans were pretty aesthetic.

this

Maybe if Sweden wouldn't been over ambitious about Russia. Great northern war was a mistake
Sweden was retarded if think they'd had any chance in the Russian heartland
And how did it turn out? They own Greenland

Same with Oleg = Olof
Ivan = Ivar

The only things you were bringing were death and misery. Swedish empire had nothing to do with civilisation, it was just a new incarnation of the mongol horde.

Nothing to be proud of. Asshole kings and nobles enriching themselves while peasants bled to sustain evil """""empire"""".

heheheh
get fucked pole
you're never getting what we took back

If anyone annex anybody here in nordiX, its us annexin the rest of north. Prepare your anus scandi cuckbois

We Now got the mineral rich north. The warm water west. And The good soil quality south. We were pretty successfull i'd say

this
I cringe whenever I see people cherishing their past "empires" when they themselves would have been mere lowly peasants, being constantly exploited by the nobles and sent to die for their interests.

>A DNA study conducted on the 5,000-year-old skeletal remains of three Middle Neolithic seal hunters from Gotland showed that they were related to modern-day Finns
FINN'D

Well from that 17-18th century empire. There's not much left

I'm talking about Scandinavia, stop pretending you're even the same race you subhuman mongoloid.

>A DNA study conducted on Pekka showed that he has Swedish ancestry.
SWEDE'D

Oh, ok. Wanted to make sure it wasn't just because of American education.

Then why are your neo nazis wanting to annex us?

Almost all scandinavian gains are left

he's just a cuckboi who hates finns
don't mind him, most of us love you.
