Are Finns the most irrelevant people of Europe? I know they were good cavalry in the Sweedish army but thats all

Ummm sweaty?

Irish are twice as irrelevant, buddy. and the welsh are even more irrelevant than they are.

I don't understand it but I love it. Much like everything else Finnish

Moldavians had a state that lasted 500 years, Finns never had their own country prior to the 20th century.

We will rise

Nice

>read in the voices of that German history vid
I waste too much time on Veeky Forums

I'm not sure why'd you even expect them to be relevant. They're really far "out of the way." It's like if I pointed out a random island in the Pacific and asked why not much as happened there. Why would anything happen there?

Thread quality today is in the shitter

>history is coterminous with warfare, thought the man

Farmers in a swamp for millennia on the edge of the world, only developing a written language and forming cities after our arrival a few hundred years ago.

they are just isolated danes

bump

Finland actually has a really interesting history. I have a pretty good pasta, let me see if i can find it.

While we are on the topic of Finland. Is it true that their language is probably the most complicated and "stupid" language in the world. I also mean for countrys not islands where only 100 people live
