@@aigarslindentals8315 We were always there. Only being forcibly separated since 1940/1944.

I think even the name derives from that fact as it was given by the Danes who tried to conquer some "East-land".

Technically speaking, Estonia and Finland were separated from Sweden in 1591-1597.

Link Luver only if Latvia and Lithuania can as well!

Good job EmperorTigerstar!

Doesn't snow on the Norwegian coast tho

Central Finland - I wish winter would come earlier than Christmas, like it have been in late years.

ivan55599 in southern and eastern Norway (Agder and Akershus) we have the same problem, but with a few differences. Agder slowly gets colder, but we still have rain, while looking enviously north towards the mountains with a metre of snow already in November. Then we finally get snow, suddenly everything is covered in a knee-deep layer of icy cocaine powder. Few days later, spring comes and the snow melts away slowly until May. While in Akershus, we get to zero degrees Celsius in October, but because this region of Norway is a desert, we only get ten centimetres of snow in late January. A few days later, the uppermost snow has melted and re-freezed into a layer of hard ice that you can even walk on without making footprints. in March it's all gone again.

True. My country is one of least habitable countries on the planet, with almost no viable farmland. Yet here we are, #1 on The Human Development Index.

Greeks also ruled Rome

Well, maybe that's because our image of the vikings is mostly propaganda from the Christian monks they were in conflict with. Their pillaging and raiding was only minor compared to their trade networks and colonies. They had a 900 year long democratic tradition, the oldest we know of in history. They were excellent ship builders and explorers, had craftsmanship and a law of order more reasonable than any other at the time. They had stronger rights for women, a woman could be a soldier if she wanted, she had inheritance rights, she often had leadership roles, she could marry and divorce as she herself wished. And unlike the rest of Europe at the time, they mostly did not practice capital punishment of decapitation of limbs for thieves and criminals. We also have records where the English mock the Norse because the Norse washes once a week. Which was something the English only did once a year. There is often a huge focus on the viking slave trade, but all of Europe had slaves then, the vikings were traders so they traded slaves like any other commodity. If you read the sagas, there is one particular story of king Olav who went in disguise among some pagans, and in that story you'll actually find that the Norse trells slept in the same room as their lords, they ate at the same table, they were included and active in religious rituals. Compared to how slaves were treated in England or elsewhere, the Norse really had developed slightly more egalitarian than their southern neighbours. All in all, compared to the rest of Europa, the Norse were probably the cleanest, most civilized when it comes to human values, most egalitarian bunch of people. Compared to our standards, they were not - but these were different times. They were also taller than any other Europeans because they were better fed. So the fact that the Nordic countries has the highest HDI in the world is _not_ _at_ _all_ surprising, it's a result of thousands of years of cultural development. It's just that you guys still believe in ancient propaganda from English monks.

Freedom Great Novgorod

Because Kozelsk town defenders in Kaluga state were fucking all Mongol troops 7 weeks , this town was 1 year older than Moscow town , it was defender town for Vladimir town too like Moscow and had Kremlin wall too, Kozelsk had fired, all population with small childrens were been killed by mongols

This is not entirely true. The Novgorod Republic did not run away. At the same time, there were 2 circumstances. The horde's cavalry could not go to Novgorod because of deep swamps and dense forests, and Novgorod voluntarily paid tribute. And as history shows, it was the right move.

But still they were a puppet state of Golden Horde, and became free much later than it showed in video)

@@siratshi455 Is paying tribute to this puppet action? Novgorod had the choice or help of the crusaders or tribute with a golden horde. He chose the horde. The Horde did not touch the Orthodox Church. The crusaders wanted everyone to convert Novgorod to Catholicism. And this was absolutely unacceptable for an Orthodox person.

Give me my fucking land

Helsingia also helsinfors=Helsinki, Tavastia, vanaja, yli-ii etc... there are many on them..

Those are not evolutions of the name, just the same name using different languages. The -ia ending is the latin version of -land.

@@MagnsATK98 Yep. Västergötland or Västra Götaland (the current county) would for example be Waestra Gautaland 800 years ago.

Kattegat is still Kattegat

@@Whatareyoudoinnhere Vestfold doesn't exist as a county anymore. It was recently merged with other counties to the greater Viken fylke, though the name is probably still in use. In Sweden we usually use the names of the historical provinces rather than the counties, and I think the Norwegians might do that too to some extent. For example: Västra Götaland county consists of the historical Västergötland, Bohuslän and Dalsland. If a Swede asks another Swede: "Where are you from?" and the other Swede says: "I'm from Åmål." and then the first Swede asks: "Where is that?" it's likely that the second Swede would answer: "It's in the northeastern part of Dalsland" rather than "In the northern part of Västra Götaland county".

Kinda is actually a place now as well, along with a lot of the smaller areas from the very early stages of these nations. Kinda is the name of a municipality in Östergötland (or Ostrogothia in Latin). Though it is pronounced "Schinda", with the "sch"-part as in the English word "hush". The same goes for Finnveden for example, it's still a used name for the region it once was and it's where I come from! #lectured

I'm from kinda! Kinda.. Next to it at least...

VoidViper Mapping Animation Production they never came all the way up here but since no russian state existed, in theory those areas were under the mongols

it's because novgorod was their fief - look at the key, its in the second colour.

Well, Novgorod was only a tributary, not a fief or even a vassal, so technically, the video is wrong.

I finished playing Medieval 2: Total War some days ago. My Spanish Empire was the only object of the Mongols' wrath as they came towards me through the desert. I had the western Mediterranean, and they had the eastern. I kept destroying their armies in Lybia but the Mongol rape train doesn't stop. In Europe I had just taken Rome to get rid of the Vatican, but that didn't work, and I was all the way in Holland but because of the damn Mongols and several Crusades to absorb, I didn't have enough resources to invade the British Isles, and I kept losing ground in France, eventually losing all of it, so I asked the Timurids who were in the Ukraine if they would freely take Libya, northern Italian regions, Marseilles and the Cantabrian mountains regions. They accepted, and this got the Mongols to fight them, keeping the Mongols from ever attacking me again. Divide and conquer worked there. But the other Europeans didn't attack the Timurids, so I failed to stop the crusaders with the same tactic. I was being invaded by the English in Asturias, and after defeating one invading army, another took its place on and on. The Danes then advanced all the way to Spain but made me their vassal just to betray me a few years later. Those perfidious Danes and dastardly Brits! I called it quits and moved all of my people to America trying to take over the Aztecs but I didn't have enough resources to keep my conquests in Mexico, so I was stuck with Cuba and Brazil. Despite losing, I achieved my mission of keeping the Mongols from conquering me. That alone makes me happy, since on the internet I was attacked by Kazakhs and Mongols who sided against me because I'm a European and a Christian, so I got revenge by keeping the Mongols from conquering me in the game.

Petty kingdoms, just like much of northern Europe at the time.

They were not kingdoms, they were tribes and tribal confederations.

Ęÿūį Æßñ tribes could have petty kings, they just weren't feudal. More like warlords. But succession was still monarchical.

These kind of maps are often pretty generalizing before proper nations (1500s).

ivan55599 Even the 1500s is really too early to be talking of proper nations; the concept of statehood only started developing after the Peace of Westphalia (1648) and then only really became prominent in the late 18th century.

It's not "finland" as a country. That area is called finland that named the rest of the country.

Evil Blast but, then how will we start flame wars about centuries old conflicts?

Samsid I will not resist even though I expect what i will see

We can't call it Scandinavia, as Finland is not part of Scandinavia. There isn't an exact definition for what Northern Europe is, but we've certainly at least included the majority of it.

I get the point with Finland, and that there is no exact definition. Isn't there an english term for the Scandiavian word "Norden" which should include Finland? Still find your title misleading, since I guess most Europeans would define Britain and North Germany as North Europe. North Europe is not only geographical, but also reflects cultural boundaries.

To answer your question, you may be thinking of Fennoscandia, but no one really knows that term in English. We actually debated what to call a video a lot before deciding FYI.

Please indulge my pedantry, but what about "The History of the Nordic countries" ?

Well again, Finland isn't really a Nordic county, you see.

Yes, and he probably never united that much of what we today consider "Norway". Probably, he mostly ruled Southwestern-Norway

The territory in question always spoke German. The Danish king aside from his title of king was also a duke of Holy Roman provinces.

@@SuperHipsterGamer That is simply factually incorrect. Schleswig has before been majority Danish and the historical claims go back to the 700s where the Danes moved in and the river Eider was marked as Denmark's natural border, by treaty with Charlemagne. The oldest Danish city is within what is now Germany. Holstein has always been German but it is intellectually dishonest to say Schleswig always was German.

​@@ParadoxNinja I didn't say Schleswig was always German. As you well know the part still remaining German is South Schleswig, while the north is under Danish jurisdiction again. The south was in fact majority German from the moment the Danish crown started to make any form of census data on the territory. It is also intellectually dishonest to argue that any linguistic and cultural asessments can be made about 700's Schleswig. There are no written sources that claim any linguistic difference from the Saxons once you cross the river. All sources however points towards a deeply germanified aristocracy in Denmark during the first centuries of a unified Kingdom, and the attempts of cultural seperation from german culture only begins with Saxos retroactive rewrite of danish history as Valdemar attempts to make Denmark an actual unified state. By that time the southern urban areas were already established.

@@SuperHipsterGamer You said they "always spoke German", which is untrue. There's plenty of evidence from the 700s. The area was by then all but abandoned by the Angles. This is especially reflected in the Danish place names of Southern Schleswig which were accounted for by chroniclers as early as the 900s. German migration into the area wouldn't start until after the renaissance and Danish remained the majority language of even Southern Schleswig into the 1700s, while it stayed the majority language in Central Schleswig until the early 1800s. The border fortification at the Dannevirke was established long before any of this, and legend goes it was ordered built by the first ever queen of Denmark in the 900s as Denmark's natural border, but it likely precedes that by even a few hundred years more. All of Schleswig was majority Danish and under the Danish kingdom even before the creation of anything like the Duchy. What I will agree with though is that any idiot redditor Danish nationalist that spouts shit from Saxo should be discredited immediately.
