Denmark

Denmark has been completely irrelevant since the 30-years war.

What about before the 30 years war? Danelaw? Denmark pretty much controlled most of Scandinavia didn't it?

The history of Denmark was suffering after the death of the Kalmar Union.

If you can read Danish i would recommend "Slagtebænk Dybbol", i just finished it today.

To understand danish history and mentality, you have to read about the war of 1864, it pretty much defined Denmark as it is today.

Sadly i can't.

I have, but, to be honest mostly from a Prussian perspective.

Fuck off penis empire, Denmark > Sweden

FACT

Danes are horrible people today and have been so since almighty Tor cleared his throat of phlegm by spitting into the ocean and Denmark was created. They will oppress your Inuits and massacre your burghers and nobles the first chance they get.

Nordic banter, what are the other stereotypes?

In short, Norwegians are stupid but loveable because their language makes them sound happy all the time. Danes are verbally handicapped alcoholics in the continental "don't mind If I have 3 beers with lunch"-kinda way. Finns are just knife-wielding alcoholics in no particular way and I belive the others think that we're somewhat stuck up and snobbish, but why would I care what they think?

Norwegians are cool.

It's actually a very interesting and sad part of history.

Swedes are pompous, monotonous, and overly political.

A pretty good drama about the war with the Prussians in 1864, is the aptly named Danish series "1864", it features many famous Danish actors, and I'm sure you can find it with English subtitles.
