Why have these countries failed to unite? Many of the countries

Who would be the leader in a union of those countries? Where would the capital be? Also, don't forget that Finland was a part of Sweden for a long time and probably wouldn't want to be tied to them again.

Because Sweden is as large as 2 of the rest 3 combined. And everybody agrees Sweden is ass while not having any animosity towards each other.

All of them hate Sweden. Sweden left the union first, then broke the union and stole Norway. Finland got spat out of Sweden and most likely doesn't want to unite with it again.

The Eternal Swede
>14th century
>Swedish-Norwegian Union
>Sweden revolts, against their own subject
>Invite German King
>Norwegian Magistrates literally in complete wat
>Norway and Swedish loyalist almost capture Stockholm, fails, peace threat, most of Sweden is under still inder the old King (now part of the Norwegian Crown)
Remember the new German King?
Ye they got rid of him in favor of Margaret

Because they hate eachothers guts, burger

>>3182903
we don't hate eachother, but the national identity is too stronk

Uniting the countries under one flag wouldn't really add anything when you can just cooperate instead.

>>3181736
Finland has nothing to do with the others.
Swedes and Danes have a history of oppressing Norwegians.

When they were unified under the Kalmar union a big part of why they split up was becuase Denmark was interested in territory in the south and Sweden was more interested in the east.
After they split up there was really no hope of them ever uniting again.
And today it would litterally be pointless to unite. You don't need a huge military, you can do international trade and Sweden is so fucking cucked beyond belief that it would ruin the other countries completely to share a government with them.

>what is the Kalmar Union

>>3181736
There were some small talks about a union like EU during the cold war but soviet union basically said fuck you to that so those talks ended. EU basically replaced the plan anyway.

The Finnish language is way too different from the other three

Finland is more intrested having a strong union with the other scandinavian countries to distance itself from Russia. The less economically reliant it is on Russia the better since Russia is a known exploiter.

>>3181736
Finns have a historical aversion for their western neighbours.

>>3186471
What? Theyve historically literally sucked Swedish and German dicks most of their history.

You simply can't trust a d*ne

Finland has had extremely favourable trade relations with Russia/USSR though. The recession in the early 1990s hit Finland hard because the industry geared towards Soviet export market collapsed at the same time.

>>3181736
Why should we? We are better seperated

>>3186494
That was during USSR times, when their main strategy to keep their neighbors happy was to just give them good trade deals so theyd have to be retarded to start trouble. These days they are more exploitive capilatists who start putting the screws on anyone thats too reliant on them. Especially old exsoviet states.

Because of The dutch. Otherwise Sweden would've conquered Danmark and eventually also Norway

Why not? Only autists think of it as any kind of serious rivalry these days.

Reminder to our little brothers to the south; Sweden won.

>>3181736
Because the days of conquest is over. Western nations don't just declare wars on each other to get some territory anymore.

If it happened diplomatically why would three of the nations just give up their sovereignty to the fourth?

>>3181736
>scandinavian countries
>only two of those (sweden & norway) are actually situated in scandinavia
This concept is retarded

>>3187324
The definition of Scandinavia is literally Denmark, Norway and Sweden. How the fuck did you manage to convince yourself Denmark isn't a part of those three?

Are you thinking of Fenno-Scandinavia?

>>3187339
Denmark is mainland Europe and Finland is mostly Hanko peninsula

>>3186967

Where ius the rivalry in all of europe these days? better unite, we're stronger together.

>>3187339
Scandinavia as a geographical region is the peninsula, which begins at Torne Älv and ends at Smygehuk

>>3181736
Because we finns have nothing to do with wh*te people.

>>3187361
I bet you're the type of person who vehemently insist that Europe and Asia are the same continent.

nationalism in Norway during the 1800s was characterised by anti-Danish and anti-Swedish sentiment
so it made a proper union not likely
people are more positive to each other now though
we have the Nordic Council, which includes Iceland and Finland
and we can move into each other's lands with very little hustle
Sweden is not a part of NATO though, so that is a problem for many
