This video... THIS F*CKING VIDEO!! Deserves every god damn like it can get. Never have i seen a video related to Scandinava THIS accurate! I've myself been studying Scandinavian history, and I thought i knew it all, but NOPE! Sure, the quality of the map and the fact it shows modern borders is in my opinion a letdown.. as well as the fact you didn't include Iceland or The Faroe Islands. But at the same time it makes up for it by absolutely blowing my mind with the amount of research you've done for this video. I had no idea there were minor "petty kingdoms" or whatever in the sapmi area between Sweden and Norway. or that there was that many minor kingdoms in Finnmark, or that Sweden shared tax evations with Novgorod, i thought just norway did that! And you, YOU my good sir, managed to do what very few people have done correctly regarding Norway, and that is Norwegian *Jemtland*. You are one of the few who got it correct, in-fact, it's more correct than the border shown in EmperorTigerstars "History of Europe" Video! (though, not the same great quality as in *Potaoes Video Mapping tm*) This is the type of video you could show in a classroom, it's that accurate. I myself praise it for it's accuracy and the extensive research more than critisising the obvious setbacks (mentioned earlier) so all in all GREAT F*CKING JOB with this video, far preceded anything I could've expected, Dare I say it's the best "History of Scandinavia" out there "Yes", Does this make up for the countable mistakes in the "History of the Nordic Nations" video. *"ABSO-F*CKING-LUTLY!"* Continue with researching like this. It clearly shows you've spent a lot of time for the sake of this video, and I can always appreciate when someone puts effort into their videos!!

[@VologdaMapping]

Wow, thats by far the most heart-warming comment ive recieved, im happy the research paid off :)

[@WeeneyTweeney]

Iceland and Faraoe Islands (and Finland for that matter) is not part of Scandinavia though

[@spareaim9]

Scandinavia is usually referred as Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Also Finland, Åland islands, Faraoe islands and Iceland are kind of Scandinavia.

[@WeeneyTweeney]

That would be what we refer to as "Norden", the North. Scandinavia is just Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

[@t-mag3004]

Spare Aim I am Norwegian! So of course I know "Scandinavia" is only three countries, but that's not why I wanted them featured. I wanted the video to feature them as colonial possessions, so we could see the terretory they held westwards. Then not include them after Norway was forced into another f*cking union with Sweden or something like that. Apparently, I was wrong for including that. And again, I am Norwegian! So *I know* "Scandinavia" is only three countries!

[@NilsHedstrom]

All scandinavian countries are so beautiful! You have the beautiful danish flat lands, the beautiful Swedish west coast(wich might be one of the most beautiful in europe or even the world) and all the mighty mountins, beautiful fjords and a overal beautiful west coast in Norway! Really Love Scandinavia, three really beautiful countries!

[@TheBarser]

As a danish person I wouldn't really call our country beautiful. It is not very spectacular compared to many other countries, though I do have a soft spot for the west coast beach of Jutland.

[@NilsHedstrom]

TheBarser Yeah thats true, might not be as beautiful but i like it:) Swedens west coast is really beautiful though, i think most would agree with that

[@jonashvas4791]

I think a Scandinavian or Nordic Union would be a better idea than the European Union. - The countries are culturally, economically, politically and even linguistically very similar. - We´d have approximately the 11th (17th if you measure in PPP) largest economy in the world. - The population would be almost 27 million people. - We´d have a stronger military (less dependent on NATO for protection), more influence in world politics and a more effective economy overall. - A common currency would work better than the euro, since workers are more willing to move between Nordic countries than within EU. After Brexit, it´s certainly a possibility that the European Union will completely break down in the future. It´s a project with many upsides, but also som major fault lines. If that happens, a Nordic Union in an unstable post-EU world might be a good idea.

For a thousand years the major powers of Europe has shit on us Scandinavians because we were divided. Instead of fighting our foes in the east and south we fought eachother, our brothers and sisters.

Scandinavia as a whole should have been one country man. We used to be feared warriors and respected traders back in the viking era.

[@silc3ents74r]

It wasnt the church. It was authors from the ~18th century writing bullocks that caused it.

[@pancracioreturns867]

Ola Dahl i remember that post too,( reposting, no wonder why everybody hates you 9ag) technically speaking as modern country denmakr is the oldest, because the modern norway isn't the same as the old kingdom of norway, and sweden too. but the person who repost that in 9gag don't know what the post from SATW really is about

[@DaDunge]

It's because Denmark fails to recognize that the Norwegian crown kept existing even as it was in unions with Denmark and Sweden.

[@Emilsuseronyoutube]

Ola Dahl A lot of people fail to realise there's a difference between oldest country and oldest still existing monarchy, since Norway stopped existing a few times.

[@DaDunge]

***** Did it? I was under the impresion that the monarchs of denmark was always officially monarchs of denmark and norway.

[@Northern85Star]

Because Denmark existed in Roman times in Skåne, and then expanded westwards. This video is completely wrong regarding Denmark. It puts the Heruli as Danes, and the Danes as Jutes. Denmark and Sweden are the oldest - simply because Norway isnt a continuation of a kingdom, but a fusion of many petty kingdoms into one. Had one Norwegian kingdom seized all of Norway in pre-christian times, then it would have been as old (fex by all of Norway becoming Hålogaland).

Well, from what I can tell, Cimbria is just a place, it was never a nation, niether was the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, they were just inhabitants of modern day Denmark. The Heruli and Dani were in some sense unified under one leader though

[@TheBarser]

What? Both times sweden and Norway was in a personal union it was under a swedish dynasty the Bjälbo and Bernadotte dynasties.

[@ThatIcelandicDude]

Haakon vi of Norway. The second one. he was born and raised in Norway and inherited the Norwegian throne from his father who granted was the throne of Sweden. and his brother Eric ruled Sweden. he had a few strife's with him but eventually his brother would die and Hakoon would proclaim himself lord of Sweden until the swedes formally elected him. He styled himself as king of Norway and Sweden. and he ruled his kingdom from Oslo. He was eventually banished from Sweden as the Nobility revolted against him and he was replaced by King Albert or Albrekt av Mecklenburg. The first union was more or less Swedish it is worth mentioning that Magnus IV was born and raised in Norway not that it really matters. but the Second union was firmly a Norwegian union over Sweden.

[@DaDunge]

Swedish dynasty, the norwegian one died out.

[@GiderTheGreat]

It doesn't matter if it was a Swedish dynasty. All of the original Scandinavian dynasties were replaced by German ones, would you say that Charles XII was a German? Of course not, he was Swedish through and through. Same thing with Haakon VI, he was born in Norway, raised in Norway and ruled from Norway. By any means, it was a Norwegian-lead union

It would be nice with a tighter union I think, even with Finland. I live in the north of Sweden and I think this part of the country has more in common with norway and finland than the south wich resembles denmark and the rest of europe more. The north of Sweden is like a colony or a bank of resources for stockholm and stuff. A great union would even out all differences maybe? But you know, denmark would have to close their gross pigfarms and start making wine instead, norway change their oilrigs to windpower and finland I dont know shit about. We swedes I guess will have to de-americanise our culture and sharpen up a bit.

This map is a bit wrong. I don't know of any Norway, Denmark, or Finland, are you sure you didn't mean to write it as "Sweden, East Sweden, West Sweden, and South Sweden"? (I am kidding of course)

[@oggeman1606]

Yeah, what is this "Norway and Denmark"-bullshit?

[@soapegg]

norway was raped by the black death and then entered into unions until 1904

Love that the background music is a jojk

[@tamu7243]

Make the Kalmar Union great again! Norway's Oil + Sweden's Industry + Denmark's Windmills and Potatoes + Finland's Education + Iceland's Hot Spa + Estonia's Tech = Woah! Great Country! The Winter World Cups wont be as fun though. The Red/Yellow cross flag on top 10 every time.

[@pivotcat9]

Tamu Audwodia if you invite Estonia,I'm pretty sure Latvia and Lithuania would apply to join(especially Latvia since they want nothing to do with Russia)

[@nakenmil]

A Balto-Nordic Union? Fair enough. ;)

[@goolmegaming1266]

Lol, norway doesnt want your immigrants

[@UncleNils]

Amazing video, I learned a lot! 😁

[@OnkelJajusBahn]

Thank you for this great video, you now I kinda understand, when the different personal unions all happened, I was always so confused, and not to mention the huge effort you put into depicting every single kingdom in the earliest times.

[@filipsaverstrom7294]

Whers is iceland and grennland ?

[@elioa3092]

Not scandinavia

[@filipsaverstrom7294]

Yes IT is. I live in Sweden. What know a greek

[@elioa3092]

+Pithound Säverström iceland and finland are known worldwide as nordic, scandinavia according to most maps is sweden norway and denmark

[@filipsaverstrom7294]

Ok IF you say so. Sry what i rite

[@elioa3092]

+Pithound Säverström it's fine no problem

[@azamatbagatov9186]

so technically speaking the Goths that broke Rome and ruled Italy and Spain was "Swedish" or came from what's now called Sweden. now i somehow understand why people believe in Arianism.

[@Northern85Star]

Azamat Bagatov Yes, Goths were Swedish, similar with Ostrogoths and Visigoths. Vandals were Scandinavian too, and Lombards (Lombardi in Italy today). And many, many others. The last Roman emperor was Scandinavian, as was the entire roman army (after the migration period). Varangians where Scandinavian. Etc etc

[@azamatbagatov9186]

cool! were in scandinavia did Langobards and Vandals come from ?

[@Northern85Star]

Azamat Bagatov Vandals from Vendel in northern Jutland (Denmark), called Vendsyssel today (vend-shire). Langobards from southern Scandinavia, unknown exactly where.

[@azamatbagatov9186]

ok thanks :D

[@kenways1011]

I'm a Norwegian and I don't get why all other Norwegians are so friendly to Sweden and Denmark. The second over half of our population died Denmark just took over Norway. And then Sweden got us but we wanted independence and they declared war on us. We weren't really free until 1905. That's just a little over 100 years ago and everyone's acting like we're brothers. I mean how did we forgive them so fast and became "brothers"

[@kenways1011]

I mean in 20 years are Finland and Russia gonna be "brothers" and just forgive each other.

[@twentynealiensfallingoutin6068]

Who here isn’t here for school or isn’t Scandinavian, but is actually just curious?

[@Ducesweden]

I'm curious, what sources do you have on the kingdoms between 200-1.000 AD? Very little is known from the earliest history of Scandinavia and a lot of it are myths and stories. The story of how Sweden was created for example was during the battle of Bråvalla in the 8th century, and the first sources telling us about this is from the 13th century so historians aren't even sure this battle ever took place. In the stories also they speak about hundreds of thousands of men fighting alongside gods and giants.

[@dagottoskaldson448]

This video is about the Scandinavians, but why is the music sami?

[@Givetviis]

Wow everyone made this a competition... would be nice to see everyone greet eachother for how awesome our countries are together

This map must have been made by a Swede: The maps continouously label parts of Norway as just partly adherent of the country, as Akershus. The thruth is that Norway was a gathered country. But weakend after the Black Death (even more so than Sweden and Denmark) Sweden took the opportunity to occupy and assimilate the Norwegian people of Idre/Særna, Jemtland/Hejedalen and Båhulen. If that wasn’t enough the Danish king pawned Orkneyes and Shetland so they became Scottish, and he transferred Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands to the Danish king. All these areas were once Norwegian. After 1905 the Norwegians got Svalbard, Jan Mayen (the forgotten Island in the north sea), Bouvetøya (from England), and settled Antarctica (Queen Maud land), we tried to get some of Greenland back, but lost by the UN-court that considered it Danish. The fair thing would have been that all Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland went back to Norway, and that the UK gave up their stolen territorries of the Orkneyes and Shetland.

[@joonte1010]

The norwegian lands Sweden conquered was taken later, in the 1600s and in war against Denmark (which Norway was a part of).

[@DanishCamp]

Listen guys, it's very simple: Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway and Sweden only. Finno-scandinavian peninsula: Norway, Sweden, Finland, part of Russia. Nordic countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland. Viking countries: Denmark, Norway Sweden, Iceland. Sami country: Finland and part of Russia. Now how hard can it be!? ;D

[@Girjon05]

Fortune Finder There are Sami people in Norway and Sweden

[@filthygarbage]

Fortune Finder nordic also greenland

[@DanishCamp]

I consider Greenland part of the Danish Rigsfællesskab :)

[@DanishCamp]

I guess there's influence in the Northern most parts. Was thinking main influences :)

[@slorvidask5867]

there are more sami people in norway and sweden then in finland actually

[@dixonqwerty]

Very nice video!

[@iyaramonk]

Wow Lade was so much bigger than it is today lol

[@heimegut6133]

Hey man, love your video! Mind sharing some of the sources you used?

[@albinhakansson1086]

So, the Goths are from Sweden?

[@N0RZC]

So basically, we 3 scandinavian countries have all ruled over eachother, which is why we still argue and make fun about eachother

[@unclear6055]

We got tired of beating the shit out of each other so now arguing will have to suffice!

[@mikaellindholm6836]

Finland in the 1400 and 1500 wasn't so accurate. Olofsborg (Olavinlinna) in Savolax should have been a part of Sweaden, but in the video it shows that it's apart of Novgorod, Muscovy, Russia! Hälsningar från Borgå Finland! :)

[@oggeman1606]

Måste bara fråga, har ni finnar svenska eller finska som modersmål?

[@mikaellindholm6836]

OscarTheSavage Båda och!... Nåja... det är det korta svaret. Det lite längre svaret är att båda språken är Finlands national språk. Byrokratiskt så kan du ha någon dera som dit modersmål, Finska eller Svenska. Men vanligtvis så brukar man kunna begge två. Båda språken läses i skolorna och republikens statliga framförelser och tjänster går på båda språken. Så ja, vi Finnar talar båda språken! :)

[@oggeman1606]

Mikael Lindholm Tack för svar. Du sa att man läser både svenska och finska i skolan, men vilket är "huvudspråket" som används i skolor? Det som lärarna pratar med eleverna. Är det olika eller är det alltid t.ex finska?

[@mikaellindholm6836]

OscarTheSavage Om du går i Svensk språkig skola så är det Svenska och om du går I Finsk språkig skola så är det Finska. Om du går I språk bads skola så är det båda två.

[@yelsavidaravskaja905]

Mikael Lindholm Get out, scandishits. Finland is finno-ugric land.
