Thanks to Finland!
took the bait alright
BTW people are flying flags in Latvia and Estonia as well
Lithuania beeing Pagan(state religion) up to 1400s is pretty interesting, you dont think of shiny armour and stone castles when you think of the period of paganism in europe but that was the case in the baltics in the middle ages.
we also wave flags for lithuania today
That's a pretty neat fact in my humble opinion.
I agree
Thank you.
>Being only 100
Feels weird saying that to a European nation. Congrats!
Happy birthday Lithuania !
Well most of medieval depictions are from Western Europe, mainly France Germany and England, but yeah Middle ages are much more diverse than what most people assume
Happy birthday
France is eternal but otherwise most of Europe have been reshaped thousand times
Where are these nations now?
-Rome
-Byzantine
-Visigoth Kingdom
-Ostrogoth Khanate
-Vandal Empire
-Léon
-Ahtum
-Vendene Conglomerate
-Pomerania
-Grand Duchy of Livonia
happy birthday bolivia!! :3
One half of Europe is older. That's about it. They all had to emerge from a bunch of tribes in the middle ages.
>-Grand Duchy of Livonia

>Ostrogoth Khanate

okay I was wrong aboyt one nation disappearing but the rest are more or less correct
Léon got joined in a personal union with the rest of the Iberian kingdoms (besides Portugal) to form Spain. Since Spain is a federal state, it's fair to say Léon still exists.
Paganism wasn't the "state religion", though.
There was no state religion.
Happy birthday
thanks

happy birthday young'uns
t. 206 year old cunt
so young yet already decaying
to be honest, the ethnies in Europe are older than their countries. political maps change a lot
The elites of these societies simply moved to northern europe, then a new continent appeared des las americas and here we are.
Rome is in european's heart
Happy birthday.
It's okay to be lithuanian, it's not ok to live in kaunas
It's perfectly fine to live in Kaunas.
Happy birthday and keep fighting communist menace. I love you all because I see vatniks buttmad and triggered by your existence alone.
Happy Independence Day Lithuania.
Enjoy it while you still can
Poland will be from one sea to another very soon
Yes, ethnicities stay pretty much the same.
But some tribes with their languages actually did disappear in last 2000 years: Livonians (last native Livonian languaga speaker died in the year 1990 in Latvia), Visigoths (last Visigoth language speaker died in the year 1000), East Prussian Language (related to Lithuanian, is the main contributor of loanwords in Finnish, meaning Finnish language had a fucktons of East Prussian words and still has, last speaker of East Prussian diead somewhere in the year 1700 - 1800 and she lived in Kaliningrad which is now known as Russia)
On February 24 will be 100 years of Estonian independence, lel
This was a mistake.

Baltics belong to Finland! Such cute little guys :3
Only Estonia is part of Finland
We should leave Latvia and Lithuania alone, they can merge into one super state together, one day
>Rome
Rome was everywhere. After Lombards sacked Italy they Christianized the teutons and East Francia, which would become "The Holy Roman Empire" with kings taking titles such as "King of the Romans" appeared; what became of a Germany was its successor, or at least the German kings were viceroy's to the popish states, who without a doubt were.
>Bynzantium
Obvious.
>Ostrogoth khante
Goths had better things to do, they were simply visiting Crimera again because it was part of their + Slavic dominion for centuries.
>Vandal empire
Continued to dominate Europe for centuries. Vandal = Veneti (also "Wend"), which would include Adriatic Veneti, Armocian Veneti, and Vistula Veneti, who also dominated for a very long time prior to that.
>Leon
Tf is that shit.
>Ahtum
Absorbed into Hungary.
>Venede conglomerate
Evolved into Poland, same thing as Wend, or again, Vandal. Same as "sarmatian" having many differentiations.
>Pomerania
Poland again.
>Grand dutchy of Livonia
Russia...?
Many more did and you don't know because you read "page blank" history and reiterate from that.
>Yes, ethnicities stay pretty much the same
Very, very, very, very bold claim.
They are all Finnic. They all belong to us, and would be better off in our glorious empire
LEEDU :3
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Finland, is in fact, Sweden/Finland, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Sweden plus Finland. Finland is not a country unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Swedish system made useful by the Swedish religion, system of government and Fenno-Swede elite comprising a full country as defined by the UN.
Many Sup Forums posters interact with a modified version of the Swedish nation every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Sweden which occupies Lapland and Österland is often called "Finland", and many of its citizens are not aware that it is basically the Swedish nation, developed by the Swedish Kings.
There really are Finns, and these people do live there, but they’re just a part of the country. Finns are the proletariat: the worker bees of the country that gather the resources and work in the businesses that Swedes run. The Finns are an essential part of the country, but useless by themselves; they can only function in the context of the Swedish system. Finns are normally used to do manual labor under Swedish supervision: the whole country is basically Sweden with Finns added, or Sweden-Finland. All the so-called "Finnish" accomplishments are really accomplishments of Sweden/Finland.
Your post amuses me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIETUVA
Thanks!
Buon compleanno Lituania
