Answer my question pls

>>68792918
Denmark is not Scandinavian they are European bog men and Icelanders are a reject slave race.

Denmark:Imperialist pigs and liars
Sweden: Noble people who tried to create an empire but didn't success
Norway: Old Danes
Iceland: Very Old Danes who freed themselves from the New Danes
Finnish:Retards

Swedes love the BBC.

>>68792918
Finns are crypto-slavs

>>68796316
Crypto-Russians at best, most Slavs hate Russians instead of spilling strategic secrets to them.

Things don't happen in a vacuum. The winter caused 2000 men to die even before any battles started. Furthermore being the coldest winter in 500 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Frost_of_1709) meant that not only do you need more resources to stay alive which further make things worse. It's not entirely unlikely that the cold winter delayed the onset of spring, meaning even less food. Poltava is the result of the continental Swedish army retreating as it's simply not in a fighting capacity ultimately leading to the confrontation which naturally went horribly bad. It's not just some random battle that happened between fresh troops (which we'd likely win).

The decision to invade Russia might seem controversial knowing that, but they didn't at the time. At the time they knew that although Russia outnumbered us slightly, we still had better equipped and trained men and we had beaten Russia before.

>>68798699
The king of Britain was also the duke of Hanover and wanted sea access for Hanover. Then he got butthurt at the Russiand and wanted them to give back some of the land.

Amazing how Sweden use to be a major European power and thus world power as well as having the best professional army in the world during the 17th and early 18th century. What the fuck happened Sven?

>>68800601
No. Finnish is a completely different language. (Though some Finns speak Swedish as their mother tongue.)

The other ones share a common ancestor: old norse. Icelandic is the closest to this whereas swedish, danish and norwegians are distant to the point of them not being mutually intelligible with Icelandic (some Norwegian dialects sorta are). They are however [asymmetrically] mutually intelligible with each other to some degree. Generally Norwegians understand the other two best. Danes and Swedes struggle with each other's languages but generally understand Norwegian (east Norwegian dialect in particular).

The empire coming to an end wasn't actually that bad of a thing. We were horrendously poor at the time. The only thing I'd change if I could is staying neutral during the French invasion of Russia.

Norwegians are the richest, Danes are the most chill, Swedes the most arrogant and Finns are the scariest.

>>68801013
>>68801040
We were so poor literally 1 in 5 born between 1850-1910 emigrated. In total ~1.2 million people. To put that into perspective we had a population of 3.5 million in 1850. Not having a war every other 20 years was the best thing we ever did, too bad we didn't stop sooner.

The most popular form of written Norwegian, bokmål, is literally based on Danish so they are very similar. It's not hard for Swedes to read Danish or Norwegian either but it requires more getting used to the differences (but it's by no means difficult).
