Were swedes ever vikings or are they just LARPing as Danes?

Or if they hear someone talking in some slavic language, first thing they say "aww matey, I bet they're from Russia"

lol no

What if someone you met told you if you wanna drink an ES energy drink/vodka blend and post Uusi menes with you.

Danish Vikings raided England and France
Swedish Vikings raided Russia and the Baltics
Norwegian Vikings raided Scotland and Ireland

this guy gets it

The highest concentration of runestones, ever, is in a region of Sweden.

how come like 95% of finns are the biggest we wuz, ist it becuse their history is shit and they are mad at swedes for bringing civilization to them
Nice to see a finn who arent a we wuz and know history

>have a unique language that inspires tolkien
>ride elks and shit through snowstorms
>make soup out of tree bark because you're a survivor
>be super nice to swedes even though they've ruined your people and held them back for centuries
>fight back russians during ww2 and take a shitty country and make it into one of the best in europe, that's completely overtaken your erstwhile overlords

Yeah, nah, Finns are pretty cool.

>t. not a Finn

>>ride elks and shit through snowstorms
>>make soup out of tree bark because you're a survivor

so basicly same things a Laplander does, and then again making soup out of tree bark aint so impressive and
>fight back russians during ww2
they did it with massive aid from sweden and germany

During the winter war Germany was actively trying to prevent aid getting to the finns.

Pretty much all coastal people of the Baltic sea dipped into raiding occasionally.

you're alright, cunt

>>be super nice to swedes even though they've ruined your people and held them back for centuries

The Swedes brutally conquered the vast amount of nothing, leaving hospitals, written language, fortifications, food, shipbuilding, and pretty much everything else needed to ascend the stone age,

>swedes
>warriors
Pick one.

>During the winter war Germany was actively trying to prevent aid getting to the finns.
lol no, they suplied them with ex panserfaust

>they did it with massive aid from sweden and germany
very little of the aid actually made it to Finland before the end of the winter war

Are you autistic? Claiming that Russians are the real Swedes and that Swedes are Finns is both anti-Finnish and anti-Swedish

wat? are you retarded friendo?, where did i claim that?

You thought that the Russian ultranationalist was a Finn because autistic people have a difficulty in interpreting people's intentions.

how come like 95% of finns are the biggest we wuz, ist it becuse their history is shit and they are mad at swedes for bringing civilization to them

i dont know how autistic you are but prehaps they dont teach people to read where you are from

Yes, this post is where the autism became obvious.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sweden_(800–1521)

>Swedish are clearly Vikings

Man, where jn the fuck are you getting the idea that Swedish Vikings are ancestrally Finnish?

I honestly just wanted to fuck with people. I know how sensitive Finns and Swedes are and they're one of my favorite groups to pit against each other, except maybe Serb/Croat and Romanian/Hungarian.

Swedes do have quite a bit of Finnish admixture especially in the western part of the country because Finns moved there in the 17th century and over time became assimilated.

Immigrations at its finest I see.

That's fucked up but hilarious.

>>make soup out of tree bark because you're a survivor

that wasnt winter war

modern swedes dont count

The Forestfinns(Skogsfinnar) stayed mostly to their own kind.

Yes they were vikings. But they were also the most culturally different among Danes, Norwegians and Swedes. Even though they were also culturally similar to the other ones obviously and they would have noticed themselves as such.

>We are lucky insofar as we know the Swedes were likely the most different among the three groups. The account of Ibn Fadlan during his embassy to the land of the Khazars demonstrates a few stark differences between the Rus and the Danes. For one, the Rus were allegedly covered in blue tattoos, which is not something that was commonly reported by Frankish scholars.
>The method of burial for their king, their grooming habits, among other things stand in contrast to their western cousins. Likewise, the Frankish chronicler Rimbert recounts the mission of Anskar to Sweden to convert them to Christianity where he describes the unusual and shocking religious rituals of the Swedes at Upsalla. This is evidence that from a cultural and religious standpoint, the Swedes were, for a time, somewhat different from their Danish and Norwegian cousins.

Yeah for centuries but not till present day.
