Buildings huddled together for warmth? Must be Norway.

If you have Swedish heritage and want to know more about your ancestry you can apply to participate in the TV show "Allt för Sverige". Not ony the Sami people came from the north. Also blonde fair skinned people with brown eyes came from the north. They mixed with the dark haied and darkk skinned people with blue eyes which came from the south. They mixed and made the blond fair skinned people with ble eyes which Scandinavia is known for. About 70% of the land surface in Sweden is forrest. Thereis also significant farming areas. The main farming areas are Skåne, Östergötland, Västergötland and the area around lake Mälaren. The main battle in the war of independance was in my home town Västerås. It tok place in 1521. Independance was declared on June the 6:th 1523 during the riksdag in Strängnäs. (June the 6:th is our nationmal day). At the same time Gustav was made king and Sweden was also declared and inherited kingdom. The eldest son would inherit the crown from then. In 1527 there was a riksdag in Västerås. Sweden was then declared the first protestant country in the world. Which also meant that the king was now the head of the church (and all of it's riches). That came in really handy as Gustav Wasa had a lot of debt after the war of liberation.

I give you a thumbs up for trying to understand whats happening on the the content of the world!! You seem to understand more than the regular.

Number 5...yes and a lot of tourist visited our Main railway station :D So the image is not very far away from reality :D

Слушать историю от американца, это лучше чем любое юмористическое шоу.

In Finland weather Report at summer: "Alavilla mailla hallanvaara." Some frost on lowlands

I love the back-story you give to this song. It really makes you understand the seriousness of the total war that was ongoing at that time in history.

It's funny how Gandalf and then Dumbledore were influenced by Kalevala😂❤

Hei ystävä!

Finland's civil war was fought in 1918, just months after we became independent in december 1917. Simo Häyhä fought in the Winter War, which was fought during the second World War, in 1939-1940.

When covid got to our world i traveled in Norway. It was hard to hit speed limit at my motorcycle... i traveled around 40 mph because i want to really see beauty of my country. With full load on my motorcycle, tent and all gear, i used 0.43 liter of gas per 10 kilometers. Normally, i use 0.48 with no load on my motorcycle...

I was there, near the front, and it was and still is one of my favorite and most cherished experiences. It was an unforgettable moment, standing there singing together with 14.000 people. ❤️

❤😢

as old saying goes, its devil in details. I am 100 precent sure that I can find out if you are foreigner just saying two (2) words. Say "Terve!" and you are exposed.

went to battle for sweden''- a swede

Also the english version is written from a non swedish perspective and the swedish from the swedish perspective of the same time periode.

I believe Norwegians are 1 or 2 in the world when it comes to coffee. This guy is overdoing it a bit, but not always. We love Ikea, but its not all over the place

That was a nice and funny guy! I think it's boring with only shades of gray in the homes. I myself put in a plastic carpet in terracotta color and everyone who visits usually first points to the carpet then looks at me with wonder in their eyes. I love it!

He is right that it is a typical Norwegian home. There's a lot of IKEA to be found, but that's probably because they have good prices for furniture that can fit in anywhere, and combine with all styles, so it's a good place to start for young people. Slowly you change to more quality, like the table he pointed to. That table is probably the beginning of a more personal style than IKEA. Norwegians drink a lot of coffee. I think it's only the Finns who drink more than us, and that's probably since we're located so far north that we have to have hot drinks with caffeine to get through the winter. The Nordic countries are as far north as Alaska, but because of the Gulf Stream it is not as cold here, especially along the coast. It is also true that Norwegians are a sporty people. Despite a long, dark and cold winter, Norwegians are outside all year round. We even have our own word for spending a lot of time outside in nature; "Friluftsliv" which can be translated "Life outdoors", which is a concept for Norwegian lifestyle, and which includes everything from going on long trips, either on foot or on skis, sleeping in a tent, lighting a fire, fishing, cooking outside in nature, picking berries and mushrooms and using natural resources for spices, fuel, decorations, building materials and more. Norwegian homes are heated by electricity and firewood in winter, and the air can quickly become dry. That is why cacti and succulents fit well in Norwegian homes. They are also sculptural, which suits Norwegian style of decoration.

In my opinion IKEA furniture is overpriced and low quality, but somehow IKEA has succeeded in marketing.

Myself, I stopped at three minutes plus. This video doesn't seem to be worth a s**t. Why are there so many strange depictions of earlier Finnish history?

You just got yourself a new subscriber 👏 Thank you for this reaction 🙏

Nyt vasta viralliset tahot ovat heräämässä saamelaisten kaltoinkohteluun, kun on suoritettu tutkimus asiasta ja tutkijat ovat päätyneet siihen, että valtion tulee pyytää anteeksi saamelaisten kaltoinkohteluun.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was also inspired by Kalevala poems and created “The Song of Hiawatha” in Kalevala meter.

Nice reaction.

good thought, but it is still hard to think about the next step if we all think like that.. (i dont mean in in a bad way, just its hard...)

Greetings from Sweden and a long time Sabaton fan. I've actually seen them live, i saw them before they got as huge as they are today. 🤘

Great thoughtful reaction, please be sure to thank your grandfather for his service and for making sure our freedom was secured//troutbumandsam

As a Norwegian I think it would be awesome to visit kasnsas one day, having grown up western coast, in the fjords of Norway I have never really been far away from the ocean and I have never seen such a massive flat land like kansas, for me I think I would actually look at it and say wow

I just found you as you reacted to one of my sabaton’s songs it’s so beautiful yet sad! Sabaton is a fantastic band! The Swedish singers are amazing @sabaton @tommy johansson @erik Grönwall and I’m Australian lol

Thanks for the reaction and your thoughts. Some years ago i read a story in a museum, about a man who left his home and his pregnant wife, as the army called for service. 18 years later, still in duty, he met is son for the first time. On a battlefield in nothern Germany. I dont remember the source of the story, whether it is based on letters, or somthing else more reliable than just beeing told over generations. Nor do I remember if any of the two soldiers returned home alive. Guess I have to go back to te museum some day and read it again.

JJ. Tolkien copy largely from Kalevala. Why did he try to learn Finnish for 19 years?

Thanks so much, great video, also emotional to me ❣️ Sabaton is new to me. And brilliant one. I noticed that this band has also honoured the Finns with their song Winter War, Talvisota. And with the song “White Death” which is telling about Simo Häyhä, a sniper feared by the Russians. He shot at least 505 Red Army soldiers in the Winter War. Thank you Sabaton 🇫🇮❤️🇸🇪🇺🇸🙏🫡

Silarillion. Red it 40 yrs ago. Now re-reading scifi classics. Maybe the Nerd un me is alive 😅.

❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😭😭😭 Thanks

Every summer Finlands National Radio: "Alavilla mailla hallaan vaara." Meaning, Frost on low lands. Who knows...

Always love reactions to this video in particular as I was in the crowd for that show. I didn't really "get" how powerful the sound of the crowds singing was until I saw it from this perspective, it was very different hearing it from down on the floor, in the middle of the crowd. I have two other favourite Sabaton anti-war songs you could check out. "The price of a mile" is an absolute CLASSIC, unfortunatly it doesn't have an official music video, just lyric videos and fan-creations. But they did a VERY lavish music-video for "The Christmas truce" if you haven't seen that one.

Thanks for your reaction 🇸🇪

and ppl in other countries say we never been in war. swedes had enough of it.

Sabaton actually encourages people to react to their music! They love it and they don't demonetize if I remember

Swedish is really nice for singing ❤

Great reaction and thoughts!

Greetings from Sweden. Great reaction, and great to hear you got permission from Sabaton to react to their videos. I love it when a youtube reactor does some research and not just watch and depend on comments to understand. You will get comments either way, the "Sabaton army" is big and very active on youtube comments.

For context, Sweden actually re-gained independence from Denmark in 1523. What happened was that the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden combined into one, called the "Kalmar Union". It was controlled by the Danish royalty, and while it lasted for about 100 years, tensions were pretty high between Danes and Swedes for long stretches of that period. What finally prompted the Swedes to seek independence again was a combination of things, but when the Danish king Kristian II came to Stockholm to be crowned king of Sweden, things took a turn for the worse. There was supposed to be a party after the coronation ceremony, and lots of Swedish nobles were invited to attend. However, it was a trap. King Kristian II ordered about 100 nobles to be executed, with little to no reason, other than "he could". The king became known as "Kristian the Tyrant" in Sweden, and the event is known in history as the "Stockholm Bloodbath". (There is a recent movie about this, but it is highly innacurate and should be avoided.) The town square that hosted the masacre is still around today and these days hosts market stalls, but when you visit it, and, you think back to what happened over 500 years ago in the same spot....it hits differently. It is said that the whole square was covered in blood, and that it poured down the cobbled streets of old Stockholm, where the massacre took place. "The red wedding"-event in Game of Thrones was inspired by this historical massacre.

As a swede, the first time I went to a Halloween party was in the very late 90's (1999), but it was not that common back then. Trick or treats became more common about 10 years later, and still today not on the level as in the US.

Great reaction brother,this song can be implemented at any time era,war,soldier or event.At the end of the day,a soldier is a soldier.War has been sucking for thousands of years.Maybe we learn from of our mistakes in the next.....idk.....2000 years or so? Us humans truly sux,js.

Humans never learn 🥹

It is powerful. And so are you my guy!!
