close enough to europe to leech off their advancement, far away enough to avoid the war and struggle

we have cool memes

Avoid the wars? Are you from another dimension?

before anybody america pokerfaces me, let's be real.
obviously nordic countries participated in european wars. they were invaded in ww2, swedish intervention, yada yada. but you are delusional if you think you were as involved as the rest of europe in war.

Sweden was a great power during the 17the century and Sweden and Denmark have fought about as many wars with each other as England and France
it's only since the 19th century or so that the region has been relatively peaceful but overall Europe was pretty peaceful during the 19th century excepting the German wars of unification

>but overall Europe was pretty peaceful during the 19th century excepting the German wars of unification
imagine if an american flag had said this shit

Actual countries did the blood, sweat and toil while they sat on the sidelines leeching via cultural osmosis. Even then until recently they were positively medieval by West European standards.

Kkkk

Its not like we havent struggeled. We used to be the porest countries with the lowest livingstandards in europe before ww1. (At least Sweden & Norway)
We have also contributed a lot when it comes to inventions in europe.
(Wars also predate the 20th century)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Sweden

it's true though
just a decade or two before ww1 broke out people were seriously floating the idea that Europe had finally gone past the era of major wars
the 1815-1914 era was the most peaceful era ever in European history before the postww2 era

...

The two scenarios aren't even close to comparable you fucking dullard.

comfy climate & nature, pretty people & languages

They are not.

They are objectively good countries, the fact that you are unhappy is not the blame of the country.

thanks polebro

denmark and southern sweden have a nice climate
norway, northern sweden and finland are worse
Iceland is terrible 17°C is what passes for a warm summer day here

overall France, England and probably even Poland although I've never been there have better climates

finland got quite fucked over by the yuro wars

Objectively garbage, a direct fault of the country.

Thing is nobody cares about a bunch on scandos infighting. Wars between England and France actually matter to the balance of power in Europe.

Nobody cares if a bunch of shit frozen wasteland trades hands before basically doing nothing for the rest of the modern era.

Wtf

You know where the tax money is spent right?

>close enough to europe to leech off their advancement, far away enough to avoid the war and struggle
surprisingly smart comment.

>Nobody cares
>Autistically whines about it
Sure buddy

its not like we fought each other or anything

Sweden took on and defeated Russia and Poland and was one of the major players in the 30 years war
the Swedish army was one of the finest in Europe and turned the tide of the war by convincingly defeating Austria-Hungary and the greater Habsburg Empire in many battles securing the peace of Westphalia for the protestants
without Sweden the protestants would have been crushed and Germany would be fully catholic today

obviously France and England are the bigger players on the grander scale but Sweden was absolutely among the major players of 17th century Europe until the Great Northern War where they were defeated by Russia

>tfw love my country while you hate yours
Hopefully life will get better for you bud

*hides on an island, escaping the destruction the continentals suffered*

These people are just out to belittle others, they have no desire for honest discussion.

>I love my bag of shit while you dislike yours

Okay good for you.

Yeah that's why we're better then you.

how on earth is UK better than norway?

than* nice try Rasheed

>without Sweden the protestants would have been crushed and Germany would be fully catholic today

Fuck you sweden

not really, the danes conquered you twice despite having to ship an entire army over
the norse frogs did it too and forced you guys to speak a french dialect while they were at it

Are you native to the UK?

norway isn't as (((diverse))) or (((tolerant))) which is the eternal anglo's greatest strength

>wääääää jag önskar jag vore amerikan
häng dig förfan din grinande snorvalp

Islandhood.

What about Iceland?

Bättre än att vara sv*nsk iallafall.

Du har inget val pysen, du är svenne precis som mig.

They're alright I suppose. Don't really know anything about it because it's irreverent.

Skönt att jag inte är 100% sv*nne.

Du skall vara tacksam för att staten fött upp och tagit hand om dig. Du anar inte hur mycket skattepengar som gått åt på just dig.

>j-jag är faktiskt 1/23 del vallon och 1/4 finne

Nej jag ska inte vara tacksam för att staten har snott pengar och spenderat lite på mig.

Arab eller?

>snott
åh pojke

Before Sup Forums I tought Iceland was part of norway
And before Sup Forums I tought Norway, Denmark and Finland were vassals of Sweden because their Flags were almost the same

the 30 years war is a fascinating subject I encourage you to read on it
what was ostensibly a catholic-protestant religious war within the Holy Roman Empire came to involve all the major players of Europe where Catholic France and Islamic Turkey fought on the protestant side, protestant Denmark on both sides and so on

very complex war, lasting for a full 30 years, changing alliances, etc. but it's beyond dispute that Sweden and France were the biggest players on the protestant side and Austria-Hungary on the catholic side

...

Poland fought 32 wars from 1918 to 1940?

I will read about it, thanks for the tip

it's the other way around
all of Scandinavia used to be part of the Danish dominated Kalmar Union until Sweden rebelled against the Danes in 1523

It was a personal union. The only reason they were under control was because of royal shit.

Det är oväsentligt. Staten snor pengar via skatt.

Kanske borde flytta till USA då?

on paper it was an equal personal union but in practice it was the Danish empire

Absolut.

Yes I read some things about the Kalmar Union, but I was really really dumb before.
It's hard to be a brazilian, very los IQ

If you have some time to waste here, can you speak a little about the Sweden and Finland relations in history? Were they master and vassal, colonizer and savage?

>This what Daneshits actually believes

So alpha

...

It's a Danish world, you just live in it, Sven.

why do you think he rebelled?

depends on who you ask
the realm was administered from Sweden and Swedish was the only official language but Finns were still full citizens and could get to the highest positions of the realm
originally it was definitely a master-vassal/colonizer-savage relationship, Sweden conquered the region in the northern crusades to spread Christianity and just kept it until the big bully Russia took it - but supposedly it grew more equal over time with Finns today not resenting the Swedish rule at all which is a stark difference from the formerly Danish ruled regions of Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands
Sweden also ruled Estonia for a while and supposedly they still call the Swedish rule the "good old days"

finland got crusaded by sweden after the finns raided a swedish town. there had not been a finnish prior to this so it was a bit of a colonizer vs savage thing going on. then sweden lost finland to russia in a war, the grand duchy of finland was created and then they got independent after russia got fucked over by the commies

>Nordic countries are aweso-

Kalmar union is notorious for having shit leadership
t. Pommern

man i wish our nobility didnt get gassed by the plague

>People are generally open and kind
>Trust society from olden times
>Late to industrialise so very small populations

It's a perfect storm for a decent standard of living.

i don't think winter will even begin to end before May at this rate

>no Nederland in picture

Fake

>north western Germany
>nordic

Don't bully the Netherlands they're cool

>i suffer in finland

Sweden and Finland are shit holes.

Not as big a shit hole as Canada

That's tru(d)e(au)

>Netherlands
never heard of them

this
in area yes
otherwise no

bump

It's funny, Norway was the starting dominant power in the union, hadn't Norway lost most of it's population to the plague, the Nordic countries might've looked very different.

The secret lies in excessive consumption of Ryebread.
