Why did the Kalmar Union and Denmark-Norway Collapse?
Despite each having their own cultures and people, and now being entirely independent of each other, the three Nordic nations, in particular, have a curiously intertwined history. But why exactly did they end up united? What happened to the Kalmar Union that would eventually be succeeded by Denmark-Norway? And why would Denmark-Norway eventually collapse?…
Norwegians still wish see the entirety of their country free and to be reunited with the rest of their countrymen and lands, that they love very much 🙂
(Jemtland, Herjedalen, Idre, Serna, Båhuslen, Hjaltland/Shetland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands) 🙂
Norway pause Denmark pause and Sweden I say this very slowly because of pause dumb (or drunk) people. Norway pause Denmark pause and Sweden see how I repeat that? are pause also called pause (so you can think of the correct geographic name and convince yourself that you arren't pause that dumb or drunk) pause answer Scandinavia.
Gustav Vasa put his foot down and that was it! The collapse of the Kalmar Union was followed by a very long period of peace! Sweden and Denmark never went to war against each other again for many many many years in something many would call Pax Danskjävlar. It would be nearly a century before war broke out again. Not really a whole century, it was more like many many decades! It was 19 years of peace before war broke out again. 19 years is almost two decades? And two decades is almost like "many decades" if you lie about it? That war was the war that ended all wars forever between Sweden and Denmark! It's true if you don't count the other 10+ wars we had with the danes after the first one. Soo much peace!
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now" I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*
Finland is not a part of Scandinavia, and is instead a part of the Nordics. Scandinavia is more of a geographical term, whereas Nordic is more culture-based. It is a common misconception.
Interestingly, Denmark did NOT hand over "all of Norway" to Sweden, since Iceland, Faroe Islands and Greenland technically were part of Norway. Hence why Greenland and Faroe Islands are still Danish.
The video mentions it, but as a Swede I feel like it understates the effects of what we call Stockholms Bloodbath had, where who we call Christian Tyrant executed our nobles. Many of them liked. It is thought of as an irreparable overstep and for us it more than anything else turned the Danes into villains
Most people are taught that "you only need a good job to become rich". {These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
Only Denmark, Norway and Sweden are scandinavian and the northern part of Finland is in the region. Us, the finns like to call ourselves nordic not scandinavian.
I can't help but notice that you refer to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden as the 3 "Nordic" Nations and you refer to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland you called them the "Scandinavian" countries, When in fact these descriptions should be reversed as Finland is not Scandinavian.
The 5 countries are known as 'the Nordic Countries' not t'he Scandanavian countries.' Americans propabaly do that, but totally incorrectly, Europeans do not.
They should had reestbablish Kalmar Union 1960s by renaming it Nordic Union and not join EU with possibility for Baltic countries joining after fall of Soviet Union.
finland is not apart off the scandianvian but they all are under nordic, scandinavia is denmark sweden and norway
Because Danish women rule with too much testosterone for the Swedes' liking.
Because they denint have the most marks 😂
Finland isn't Scandinavian… 👀 love the video 💯

Uh no, you are wrong, we are refered to as the NORDIC countries. Scandinavia is a linguistic class, Nordic is a culture. Get shit right.
0:17 These are called "the Nordic countries", while Norway, Sweden and Denmark are Scandinavian countries.
Can u talk about the history of the arab nations

Why is Halland drawn as part of Sweden when it was a Danish province?
8:46 That's not correct, Iceland and The Faroe Islands were parts of Norway that were excepted
Norway should come back to us (Denmark) … we belong together.. 😛
May we just take a minute to salute how many time and work he put on the vids. 🙃
Finland and Iceland aren’t part of Scandinavia. Took 5s to be wrong…
I’m from Denmark it’s cool to see all of the history of the country that I was in😊😊😊
How did you not even mention the great northern war?

I can't tell if these countries love each other like brothers
Want to kill each other and bury the remains in the snow
Or some amount of both
Another wonderfully informative historical video.
Still waiting on that skenderberg part 2 though.
I heard of the Kalmar Union before. But not the history. So thanks for making this video Knowledgia.

Margaret the 1st was an absolute boss.
Napoleonic, not Napoleanic. His name was Napoleon Bonaparte, not Napolean.
They were also the richest.

Still waiting on getting back the faroe Island and greenland from Denmark.
Simple answer: Sweden

why does it seem like every major european conflict comes from the expansion of Germany or the expansion of Russia?
Have you ever heard of the term Fenoscandia or Fino- Scandia? It's used when you want to refer to Norway, Sweden and Finland together. Just the three.
Only Denmark, Norway and Sweden are scandinavian and the northern part of Finland is in the region. Us, the finns like to call ourselves nordic not scandinavian.
i love this channel
Why didn't you mention Scottish Scandinavia?

Of course we were useless! Asking the French to fight on water is like asking a dog to fight on a tree. Maybe he can get up there but then what

At 16 the king died? No, he was most likely poisoned…….
your definition of scandinavia is completely wrong
Scandinavia is Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The nordic countries is Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.
love Denmark
Scandinavia = Denmark, Norway, Sweden
Nordics = Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Sweden
Sweden and Finland 🇫🇮 has a whole bunch of land 😂 quite large countries even if the population is not huge.
In Sweden we still see the bloodbath of Stockholm as the real version of the red wedding
They should had reestbablish Kalmar Union 1960s by renaming it Nordic Union and not join EU with possibility for Baltic countries joining after fall of Soviet Union.
