i was going to correct the same. that he was elected in the 1523 not 1593. i am an aspie historynerd, so i really wanted to correct you there however it is not the only reason for the 6th of june. the other reason was that in 1809 sweden got new reforms by laws which layed the foundatiions.for the modern sweden without royal intervention of the ruleship of sweden. the first steps towards becoming a modern democracy
@@SteamboatW Mhm, but he was elected King and Riksföreståndare in 1523, 6th of June. Wasn't until 1528 after his reformation of the church he decided to get crowned in Uppsala Domkyrka in 1528. (Before that it was a bit more iffy with the procedure, in 11th and 12th century sweden was more or less self governing provinces, with Olof Skötkonung being a bit iffy on what he controlled, and occasionally the king Sverker had hold of some power. No crowning process, and before sweden was independent the last monarch to rule sweden was danish king christian II(crowned in copenhagen), so I would understand details about crowning being iffy at start. Since prior the swedish people governing locally were Riksföreståndare (Kingdom Manager) not kings during the era of "Sture" latest being Sten Sture etc. So no firm tradition was yet in place.
@@Dennizjoon A non-event at the time just to placate the Lübeckians. Took place at 16th of june (modern timekeeping) 1523. He didn't even control Sweden until some weeks later.
Thank you for the interesting background information. I'm surprised to learn that new citizens are given an ugly vase as a gift, totally goes against how I imagine Swedish style to be. Enjoy your Nationaldag. 😊
Grattis på Sveriges nationaldag! Tack så mycket för de värdefulla lärdomarna. I am learning Svenska and I am using a book, your TH-cam Channel, and Duolingo. Could you suggest some movies or something of that sort that can help in grasping the accent more quickly? Actually, I am able to read things and make sense of them but I am unable to understand what the other person is speaking because they tend to get too fast (can't blame them). I think if I watch a few videos regularly with subtitles I might get used to that speed and maybe get better. Tack och Hejdå
Hi Imad, great to hear that you like our videos! We will gradually start introducing more and more Swedish when we cover more advanced or intermediate topics 😊. In our intermediate video courses for example, all the explanations are already in Swedish elansutbildning.teachable.com/p/intermediate-bundle
Great stuff! Probably a bit overkill, but we also celebrate to sixth of june in honour of our constitution from 1809 which basically formed modern parliament.
Tack så mycket. I live now two month here and finally bought a house in a really small village in Västernorrland. Now I can shine with some new background knowledge 🙂But I have to wait 5 years for my vase? ...
Informativ och bra video men en sak bara. Vi använder väl inte oss direkt av titeln borgmästare (mayor) i Sverige så vem är det som de som får medborgarskap skakar hand med?
Well we do actually celebrate independence. From The Kalmar Union led by the Danes. In we celebrate when Gustav I (Vasa) was crowned which ended the Danish rule over Sweden.
0:23 This is wrong as we celebrate in memory of the Constitution that was adopted at Eidsvoll on 17 May 1814. At the same time that the men of Eidsvoll adopted the Constitution, they elected Christian Frederik as Norwegian king.
Norwegians don't celebrate their independence from Sweden in 1905 on May 17. Norway celebrates the signing of its constitution from 1814. It has nothing do to with Sweden at all.
Norway does not celebrate the independence from Sweden. They actually celebrate leaving the union with Denmark and getting their own constitution in 1814, when they were forced into the union with Sweden.
Well, you still could say that we celebrate our independence because we were forced into the Kalmar Union and opressed under danish rule. When Christian II of Denmark became king of the Kalmar Union, he invited all the Swedish nobles to a party. But once they arrived he executed them all. But later on Gustav Vasa was furious about the news. So he rioted, claimed the Swedish throne and made our country leave the union after 51 years of being a slave to Denmark
Let's face it we made up a day just to have something to celebrate. Like almost nobody even know when or what we even celebrate if you ask random people, nobody seem to care anyway sad but true.
Jag tycker att folket bör diskutera nationaldagens innebörd med Gustav Vasas grundande av den nuvarande nationalstaten och avrättning av Nils Dacke (Dackefejden).
@@DikWhite Which should be called a "helgdag" as opposed to all the black days or "vardagar". ... "röd dag" is also slang for a certain female issue... eh... so better not use that term in those parts of Sweden.
Let my tell the truth, we never hade a national day.. we have to invent one! Mostly becuse almoste any other country have a "national day"! Soo, one have to scrutnice our history, to find such a day for some reason! Its this, Sweden have been independent frome Ice age or somthing, there was "Kalmar Union", other dependencys. Its rather this.. sweden was often the bad guy, making war on others, like Denmark, Russia, Poland and Germany! Soo, in the end we lost our "Baltic sea empire", then we get inbound, to remember our big ambitions. It means that we got neutral for at least 200 years, still admiring days that we was strong! Then WTF, we need a national day, Gustaf Wasa is our " National father", becuse he forced the nation to unite.. to unite to his rules! One can say that he was a "dictator", in anyway he got our country to be goverment ruled, starting a lot of goverment departments to collect taxes and to have the same legislation, in the whole country, (made by him)!
No, Norway doesn't celebrate independance from Sweden on may 17th. The map is wrong. Sweden existed long before Gustav Vasa. The national day isn't chosen because of Gustav Vasa, Gustav Vasa was choosen because of june 6th. He wasn't crowned in 1593 but in januaey 1528. ... and no, midsummer is not a pagan holiday, it's a John the baptist christian tradition. This video is ridden with errors, misconceptions and myths...
@Kenny Wennborg Can you prove that? No, you can't because you can't follow anything that far back. Certain astrological phenomenons do make certain days a bit special all over the world where astronomy was invented. Some days were hijacked from Roman holidats, but there is literally nothing that connects between a roman bachanalia and leapfrogging to a french Napoleonic onion song except roughly the sane date... newsflash - both midsummer and winter solstice were recognized in south America before Columbus. Swedish traditions still isn't Aztec.

That is of course not really true. We weren't "forced" into the Kalmar union, and there were of course not any "Danish oppression".
Glad National Dag Sweden
Hej Gustav Vasa!
