If it weren't for Swedes, we Finns would still be living in wooden huts.

I think russia built all your shit.
The introduction of Christianity ruined all the fun.
Hello, Fennoswede.
I see you enjoy stay in Larsmo. Good.
You mean you'd be running around naked with bones through your nose.

He was most likely talking about Sami people, not Finns
Everything would be better that way though
why do we get shit for this, all sweden is known for is being barbaric pagans in the first place
>>77029166
the Finns are a Samic folk

If it weren't for Germans, we Anglos would still rule the seas

Lemuria. But it later became forgotten due the excessive consumption of rotten fish.

Finnish crusades best day of my life.
>>77028897
Nope
Sweden did not "make Finns civilized" but maybe speeded our infracstructure because farming increased

Finns are Sami folk with Germanic admixture. Sami are the purest Finno-Sams
>>77031027
Sami were the original settlers driven up north by Finnish invaders.
>>77031107
no, Sami are the most original Finns, Finns are a Sami folk with a Germanic substrate, Estonians are a Slavic race with a Finnic adstrate
stop leying (sp?)

Modern Lapland Samis are not same as original South Samis (they mixed with Finns, at least) Eastern Finns
Finno-Ugric tribes came to this land 2000-3000 years ago but Finland has been populated much longer (and possibly people here spoke even Proto-Germanic before)
The "truest" Finns from those times (even today we have differences in West and South) are difficult to determine but I wouldn't say Finns have never been or still are 't Saamis, we have some shared influence
If it wasn't for Americans we would be a super power
>>77033130
At least Eastern Finns*
West and East*
