JediWilli OMG how did i forget about bamse og kylling like one of my favorite song is bamse og kylling den hvor de synger "for vi skal bare blive ved med at gå og gå og gå og gå og gå og gå og gå og gå og gå og gå og gå"
So true😂 The reason one of his most popular video are about denmark, is because when we are in it. We're going to watch it, and we are going to watch it with PRIDE and a smug smile on our face #santaisfromdenmark 🎅 Red and white u know😉
Here's a secret: "Hygge" means "cosiness". I really don't understand what the fuss is all about because it's even in Gyldendal's dictionary. But there are other words and terms that only exist in Danish such as "Statsskattedirektoratet", "Overformynderiet", "Psykofarmakamisbrug", "Institutionssocialisering" and "Socialmusikpædagog". Not to mention more slangy expressions such as "perker", "fejlfarve", "bollebræt", "smatso", "spasserrøv" and "nasserøv".
Lunaria im a swede and im with you on that thing. But i hate all the comments on sweden and immigration. I personally think that those who say stuff like that knows that there are problems in their country and just wants to hide it and attack sweden.
You know that the Faroe Islands aren't a country for themselves right? I mean, it's okay to mention them, but then you sohuld probably also mention Greenland...
I don't know why, but Swedes seem to get genuinely mad at Danes on the internet. I've thrown the casual light-hearted insult, but as soon as a Swede comes it gets serious. Fun fact, there's a Danish kinda valid but not really law that says you can beat up the Swedes if they cross the ice.
The Danish, Norweigans and Swedes (the smallest brother) are like the three brothers competing against eachother. We can insult eachother, but you cannot --.--
I love how a big part of this comment section is just Danes and Swedes tearing each other apart per usual (Dane here) . That aside, I loved the video! Super interesting and I would love to see other "what ifs" in the future! :)
+Mick Boontjes as the “heathen” people of Estonia were “waging war” on Christianity the king of Denmark at that time decided to set out multiple crusades to Estonia one of them were this fierce battle commenced almost ending with the Danes loosing but then the king and the bishops who were on the crusade had a prayer meeting and at the end of that meeting a flag flew from the sky that flag was “Dannebrog” which then gave the Danes hope and they fought back the Estonians. This is also dipicted in a painting which I’ll link here: www.visitvestsjaelland.dk/ar-1219-dannebrog
Very spot on, from a Dane. You forgot to mention that Iceland is very close to Denmark still and that Icelanders have Danish as a 3rd language still. Many Icelanders come to Denmark for work and studies and the rest seems to go to Norway. Norwegian and Danish are closer to each other than Swedish and likewise the peoples culture. Norwegians and Danes can happily speak native to each other and joke around while Swedish is hard and most Danish-Swedish conversations just default to perfect English but with both insisting on saying "Sorry for my poor English" :)
For me personally I understand swedish very well but I can for the life of me not understand norwegian. Reading it is easy but understanding it gives me great trouble. The time a norwegian talked to me at Smuk Fest and I repeatedly had to tell him that I couldn’t understand a single word he said no matter much he tried is still fresh in my memory. In that regard I guess it different for every one but I also taught myself swedish as a kid, just by watching swedish TV4.
Norweigan is easy for the Swedes to understand norways language is more inbetween swedish and danish since they talk closer to how a swede would but spell like a dane.
Okay swedish People gotta Chill!!!! Why are you all getting so offended?? Its a video about Denmark so Its pretty clear Why he talks about Denmark and not Sweden...
Crown/krown is not the right description of the valuta. It is just Krone. Not Crown or what ever. Like you still call a Dollar a dollar in danish. No difference.
Love to Denmark from Iran! To me Denmark is the "Land of Wind Turbines!" (I'm a mechanical engineer lol) They have the highest wind power per capita. Many other countries should learn from them.
If my country of Denmark ruled the world, we would all be eating Smørrebrød everyday, reading H.C Andersen tales and run around in red and white clothing fighting each other on which soccer team is the best.
I'm surprised you didn't mention some of the more Vikingesque like Knife = Kniv Knight = Knægt (though the meaning has changed over time) Boat = Båd Sword = Sværd Berserk = Besærk Skull = Skald Die = Dø Cake = Kage (yup, no Vikings, no cake ;) ) The days of the week were also Viking names Monday = Mandag (Day of the moon) Tuesday = Tirsday (Day of Tyr, god of war and justice) Wednesday = Onsdag (Day of Odin, king of gods and god of pretty much everything, especially wisdom) Thursday = Torsdag (Day of Tor, god of thunder (torden) and on occasion also of war) Friday = Fredag (Day of Frigg goddess of wisdom or Freja goddess of fertility and love and on occasion war) Sunday = Søndag (Day of the sun) The bright ones might have noticed that Saturday is missing. Saturday comes from Saturn, whereas the Danes call it Lørdag, which stems from the old word for bath, as Saturday was bathing day, apparently that didn't have enough traction with the brits though ;) )
Every time I see a video with Denmark in the title, I watch the video. Danes love to watch videos about themselves 🇩🇰 But hey, at least we are happy in our country. 🤷🏼♀️🇩🇰
Well apparently you all missed the whole thing where we Swedes have begun deporting illegals, and all that. You know... the very things you've wanted from us for years now. Heck! We've even begun rebuilding our military again, so that whole thing with illegal refugees ain't holding up anymore. ;-)
As we prepare the for next country episodes (Filming them this Friday!) you know what that means, FILLER WEEK! This is a topic I've wanted to cover for a long time because very few people even KNOW that the Danes had set up colonies on 4 different continents. Here we not only find out where they are but ask the question...what if the colonies were still held on to to today? Find out here!
Hey Barbs, if you ever come to Denmark again you should totally visit Skagen, its the most northern city in Denmark and it's a beautiful and charming city, just Google it to learn more about it. But don't come in summer because there are a TON of tourist and by the way love you vids ;)
As a dane I believe that we have already had enough influence, wether it be on other languages or even ultures, We've done a lot and we are a proud folk!
Another Denmark fact that I don't see mentioned often. The Bering Strait, the tiny divide between Russia and Alaska is actually named after Vitus Bering, a Danish explorer who was paid by the Russians to map out how far east the empire actually went
What a coincidence, I am half danish because my mom is full danish, my grandpa on my dad s side is from Ghana, Denmark has about 5 colonies there, and my parents met and got married in Saint Croix (btw I love how he said it). And saint croix was momentarily obtained by Denmark. My family is more connected hen I thought.
Im beyond happy to see videos like this, cause that means People know that denmark exsists! Thank you for making this video! We Are such a snall country, so it means the world to me to see People from other countries talk about denmark!
I am Dutch and I do see us as one of the big four/five, I was glad when it was mentioned... And I am party danish and I think the world would be great if the Danes would rule it!
TheRealStuff Mapping not all of it lol, Coptics are descendants of ancient Egyptians, the languages have ties, and they’re culturally similar, but then again that’s only about ~12% of the population so
As a Dane, i get a little bitter every time i hear our forefathers selling off foreign land and islands to other countries. They sold so much land it's unbelievable, and just seems so incredibly stupid to me. Sure, they probably had reasons, such as being unable to use or sustain those territories, or needed money to pay of debts, or simply lacked the population to sustain colonies. It just sound like a complete swindle when you hear how much gold they got, and the money that these territories could generate in the future far surpasses that amount.There are so many decisions from the royalty and government of Denmark that just seem so poorly thought out and very short sighted.
Fun Fact: Denmark forced Norwegians to speak Danish (at least in the big cities like Bergen and Oslo). If you go all the way down to the south tip of Norway there might be people (from my experience) who can speak Danish, or at least be understood by the Danes when speaking Norwegian 😄
Just don't know why I have this obsession with Denmark. Even when I was a child and I knew nothing about that place. I mean, they are'nt so knowled, even more here in Brazil. But i know someday, somehow i'm gonna know that country.
I always did too and 1 year after separating from the Airforce i found a job and moved here. Now i have lived in Copenhagen for 6 years and i love it. I ride my bike during the winter to work and longboard during the summer. I took 3 years of Danish lessons at a school called IA Sprog and i am nearly fluent. I do have some trouble with terms that i have never heard of, but for the most part i can get by in Danish. After living here for 4 years i married a Dane and we have a son together. I love the healthcare system and everything Denmark offers and will not be going back to America anytime soon.
Southpark already showed a world in which Denmark had ultimate power. It was scary. side note: Denmark pretty much wins having Greenland, everyone else had to de-colonize their bigger territories (except for some islands) but Greenland is huge, having a huge territory like that is a plus.
the reason the Denmark videos on this channel is some of the most popular, is probably because us danes have massive egos and have watched the videos on repeat-
Hey Barb! Nice video as all of your videos. So much knowledge about the "lost" and unknown Danish empire (if we can call it like that)! We will be happily sharing this video with our community at All Things Nordic!! Hej hej! :)
Do next for Russia, please! They had even bigger chances for such! They had Alaska, claimed Pacific coast all the way Silicone Valley, a port in Hawaii, first to discover Antarctica, please
It should be the biggest episode of all time ))) When you fly across Russia for 8 hours, and Russia is still there and looks the same, you realize that it is Russia flies across you. X)))
When you talked about Danish viking conquests in Europe you forgot to mention Normandy in France. Normandy means land of the Northmen. What was to become the historical Duchy of Normandy was granted to a Danish viking chief called Rolf in 911 in the treaty he signed with the French king at a place called Saint Clair-sur-Epte.
Leiv Eiriksson who discovered America was born on Iceland and had norwegian parents !!! his father was Eirik raude who was born on Jæren (in Norway). The norwegians are also the first to settle Iceland ...
*English - Danish* *Leg - Ben* _But there is also the more specific 'læg' which isn't used much anymore, but is probably what it is derived from._ *Freckle - fregne* *Root - rod* *Want - vil* _Kinda similar, but not sure this is the one._ *Skin - hud* _There's also the word 'skind' which means hide (the noun, not the verb) which is probably the origin._
For anyone interested, there's a really cool "what if" scenario created by a guy who played as Denmark in a couple of video games covering the medieval and early modern periods. He wrote down his actions in the game as if though they were real historical records, and turns Denmark into a global empire, pretty much taking over Britain's role in real life, albeit with a lot of differences, of course: forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/north-sea-empire-a-knytling-aar.882499/
keep in mind england was occupied by vikings for 200 years. 1/3 of your coastal cities carry viking names. and like 50% got traces of our viking blood.. vikings traded egyptian gold and sold stolen goods in russia. we got around :)
alright take it easy now because it seems that you need a history lession, first of all yes sweden "sold" metals to the germans becaus they would have declared war on sweden otherways, for the second of all sweden helped the norvigen, dannish and finnish people to come and hide in sweden under the war, third of all sweden spied on nazi german for the allied and helped finnland in the war against sovijet. sweden had also the plan (operation save denmark and norway) in work where they would go in with military troops and try to save norway and denmark from nazi german
Having the Faroe Islands is not an advantage to us Danish. It doesn't have much produce. I don't know the details, but I wouldn't be surprised if were spending more money on the Faroe Islands than we receive. Another matter is that I don't really mind and I think there are many Danish who feel the same way. They're part of who we are. Greenland is even worse in this regard, but they may have potential in the future.
Yeah but they have resources that we can sell later on if we want denmark main land is so low on resources that I am almost throwing up just thinking about it xD
I think few ppl know this but Dutch are pretty big part of Indian colonial history and they've had pretty big impact culturally too in the colonies they maintained for sometime.
Denmark will rule over Arabi- i mean sweden and when we will we will only take the skåne bleking and halland cuz the rest suckssss Love Denmark Not love Denmark
If denmark ruled there would be endless torment. Suffering. Crying for release. But most importantly... A swedish revolt that would kick the shite outta you cowards. #Vasabless
Well im glad to see that Denmark it really exists as a country,i thought that was kind of invented place by Disney or someone else,well im really happy that you guys exist,and is not a joke!!!
Denmark videos are the most watched because we apparently love watching videos about ourselves.
We take narcissism to an entirely new level.
XD yup. that's what I thought.
maybe bc we're curious since there's many... shared... opinions on Denmark.
haha ..rigtigt nok..
Truuueeee!! 1/12 who watches videos of Danes is foreigners who randomly clicked. and rest og them are Danes.
just curious, as an australian, do you guys know what australia is, just wana know if other countries know we exist

I'm surprised you didn't mention some of the more Vikingesque like
Knife = Kniv
Knight = Knægt (though the meaning has changed over time)
Boat = Båd
Sword = Sværd
Berserk = Besærk
Skull = Skald
Die = Dø
Cake = Kage (yup, no Vikings, no cake ;) )
The days of the week were also Viking names
Monday = Mandag (Day of the moon)
Tuesday = Tirsday (Day of Tyr, god of war and justice)
Wednesday = Onsdag (Day of Odin, king of gods and god of pretty much everything, especially wisdom)
Thursday = Torsdag (Day of Tor, god of thunder (torden) and on occasion also of war)
Friday = Fredag (Day of Frigg goddess of wisdom or Freja goddess of fertility and love and on occasion war)
Sunday = Søndag (Day of the sun)
The bright ones might have noticed that Saturday is missing.
Saturday comes from Saturn, whereas the Danes call it Lørdag, which stems from the old word for bath, as Saturday was bathing day, apparently that didn't have enough traction with the brits though ;) )
The Logan HOW DO u GET KNIGHT TO BE KNÆGT!!!!!!!!!! BTW its ridder 🙂
Though the meaning has changed over time.
The words themselves are similar, even if the current meanings are not.
He said that back then it meant Knægt. But then the meaning changed over time and the word now means Ridder. Similar to soldier.
And borough = borg
Ye but don’t take pride in that being form Denmark only. All the Nordic languages are like that.

omg that was so annoying! he got me so good!
What a coincidence, I am half danish because my mom is full danish, my grandpa on my dad s side is from Ghana, Denmark has about 5 colonies there, and my parents met and got married in Saint Croix (btw I love how he said it). And saint croix was momentarily obtained by Denmark. My family is more connected hen I thought.
Wow cool!
Im beyond happy to see videos like this, cause that means People know that denmark exsists! Thank you for making this video! We Are such a snall country, so it means the world to me to see People from other countries talk about denmark!
If Danes ruled the world...
We would have a lot more engineer mains
SemiSolid Snake tf2 joke

SemiSolid Snake true and engine is still gonna be my main

your contribution to the kalmar union has been noted
Thank you this is FANTASTIC. THE DANES NEED TO RULE THE WORLD!!!
Ur right
We Will >:D
Vi vil tage over hele verden!! Muahahahaha!! >:}
If they had stronger influence over Bandiaterra, they would for sure become a global superpower.
Hello there! I am from Bandiaterra!
Bandiaterra would exist ;)
I am from there xD
I work for the bandiaterras govt XD
But yeah I am a coconut crab from Bandiaterra
I have lavender that's from Bandiaterra!
I'm Bandiaterran.
Much Love from Egypt🇪🇬
Youssef Plays im Egyptian too!
TheRealStuff Mapping not all of it lol, Coptics are descendants of ancient Egyptians, the languages have ties, and they’re culturally similar, but then again that’s only about ~12% of the population so
As a Dane, i get a little bitter every time i hear our forefathers selling off foreign land and islands to other countries. They sold so much land it's unbelievable, and just seems so incredibly stupid to me. Sure, they probably had reasons, such as being unable to use or sustain those territories, or needed money to pay of debts, or simply lacked the population to sustain colonies. It just sound like a complete swindle when you hear how much gold they got, and the money that these territories could generate in the future far surpasses that amount.There are so many decisions from the royalty and government of Denmark that just seem so poorly thought out and very short sighted.
Jauzness87 the reasons why we lost so much was for those exact reasons you mentioned, they happened quite commonly bqck then
Think about us frenchies when poeple mention the louisianna purchase
P . Mine you Napoléon needed the funding to begin a invasion of England.

Rip
If the danes ruled the world, we would all live in love, peace and harmony. Pessimists wouldn't exist.
Hahaha, no.
Love, peace and harmony.... Hahaha. Like 1864. 😂😂😂
that's wrong. most danes hates the world
@@thelizardking6772 HAHAHAHAH WHAT DO YOU MEAN????
@@thelizardking6772 Most danes hate the world? i know why because is hard to not hate on something like you with low iq
Hey Barby, next time you come to Denmark , hit me up, i'm a tour guide in the historic city of Roskilde (the old capital of Denmark)
Det var da Nyborg. Eller var Roskilde også?
Er rimeligt sikker på at det var Nyborg. (Ved jeg kun fordi at jeg bor der)
Vozey Det er der så til gengæld ingen andre der ved, lol. Der er nogle rigtig gode grunde til at hovedstaden ikke ville kunne ligge i Nyborg.
Er du dum? Den lå i Nyborg, fordi Nyborg er i midten af Danmark. Det var mest praktisk i forhold til krige. Hvilket der ikke er brug for så meget nu.
Captain Haddock and then you can show him your highest mountain wich is 5 cm. Danska näspetare
As a Danish person this makes me happy
Love Denmark from Norway ❤
Lize Vingamos forræder ;)
Hahahaha har aldri vært i København da :)
da er det fortsatt håp for deg :)
Også kærlighed fra Danmark til Norge ❤️😂
Jeg elsker Norge og Danmark :)
Fun Fact: Denmark forced Norwegians to speak Danish (at least in the big cities like Bergen and Oslo). If you go all the way down to the south tip of Norway there might be people (from my experience) who can speak Danish, or at least be understood by the Danes when speaking Norwegian 😄
Just don't know why I have this obsession with Denmark. Even when I was a child and I knew nothing about that place. I mean, they are'nt so knowled, even more here in Brazil. But i know someday, somehow i'm gonna know that country.
Jessica De Brito just learn these 2 words
1:tørret ørred
2:rødgrød med fløde
If you learn those you are pretty much set
Haha!! :D
- Good luck.... :p
I always did too and 1 year after separating from the Airforce i found a job and moved here. Now i have lived in Copenhagen for 6 years and i love it. I ride my bike during the winter to work and longboard during the summer. I took 3 years of Danish lessons at a school called IA Sprog and i am nearly fluent. I do have some trouble with terms that i have never heard of, but for the most part i can get by in Danish. After living here for 4 years i married a Dane and we have a son together. I love the healthcare system and everything Denmark offers and will not be going back to America anytime soon.
david we are happen to have you her :)
David Valdez Det glæder mig at høre! Du er hjerteligt velkommen til at finde mig på Buster Albek, så giver jeg sgu en bajer! :)
Norway and Sweden would be a better place if Denmark rule again.
Can you make a video about the kalmar union/nordic power/the nordic union
YES!!!
Big-O
Nords are superior people, I love the Norse language, I love the Viking history and the culture. Respect from Iran
I think it's okay if it comes back, just don't let the danes be all in power.
JA
4:07 “Danes have made their mark” I see what you did there. 😂
Southpark already showed a world in which Denmark had ultimate power.
It was scary.
side note: Denmark pretty much wins having Greenland, everyone else had to de-colonize their bigger territories (except for some islands) but Greenland is huge, having a huge territory like that is a plus.
Yeah ! ;D
Russia still has it's bigger territory. Also the USA if you count them as colonizers.
Actually the germans took over Denmark in South Park.
But not much is inhabitable, making it a bit harder to settle there in today technology.
We might be small but we have power 😉
Denmark:
Weird words: aight imma head in
greetings from the Faroe Islands
Rúni Hammer I really wanto to go there, although I read the climate is kinda awful...
3:15 don’t forget to mention Bandiaterra,that remote danish island in the Indian Ocean!
Interesting video... maybe we should go back in time and rectify our mistakes of the (current) past?
What say you, fellow danes, are you up for that?
@@r.o.b8728 Why Norway? They have even worse weather than Denmark.
Let's go danes!
H
Danish squad!!!!!!
Nuclear Gamez hi
Her!
And Iceland!!!!!!
Er Danmark ikke det land der har mindst pikke spørg bare?
Hehe my name m8
What about Bandiaterra?
That wasn't real it was an April fools prank
Geographic Me No! Bandiaterra is real! I was born there!
Geographic Me wow really I bet that wasn’t a joke
RedEmoji Day april fools
I'm from Bandiaterra.
the reason the Denmark videos on this channel is some of the most popular, is probably because us danes have massive egos and have watched the videos on repeat-
Hey Barb! Nice video as all of your videos. So much knowledge about the "lost" and unknown Danish empire (if we can call it like that)! We will be happily sharing this video with our community at All Things Nordic!! Hej hej! :)
Than we would all be reading Hamlet, oh wait...
Most likely you'd have a larger chance of knowing about the semi-historical figure, Amlet, which Hamlet was based on.
Do next for Russia, please! They had even bigger chances for such! They had Alaska, claimed Pacific coast all the way Silicone Valley, a port in Hawaii, first to discover Antarctica, please
YunnoxxSRB [English] don't you know that he's making them by the alphabet order🙄
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH lol I do, but I meant like this for Filler Week. No hate
YunnoxxSRB [English] oh sorry, didn't get it😂😝
It should be the biggest episode of all time )))
When you fly across Russia for 8 hours, and Russia is still there and looks the same, you realize that it is Russia flies across you. X)))
You had your chance, it was called the Soviet Union, the U.S.S.R.
It failed.
1:56 Why does Austria-Hungary have Belgium and some of China and India?
The language is not impossible to learn,it's impossible to speak!😆
Interesting idea for a topic. Love from Sweden! ❤️
Honestly the same idea could be applied to Sweden itself, just look at the Swedish Empire around 1658. Love from Denmark :D
Aye Aye Aye Danish is NOT impossible, I have friends from England who are learning and They’re doing just fine;)
When you talked about Danish viking conquests in Europe you forgot to mention Normandy in France. Normandy means land of the Northmen. What was to become the historical Duchy of Normandy was granted to a Danish viking chief called Rolf in 911 in the treaty he signed with the French king at a place called Saint Clair-sur-Epte.
You forgot one thing. The danish vikings was the first guys that find america.
Leiv Eiriksson who discovered America was born on Iceland and had norwegian parents !!! his father was Eirik raude who was born on Jæren (in Norway). The norwegians are also the first to settle Iceland ...
yea Erik den røde everyone thinks is cristopher colombus
if denmark ruled the world, everything would be overprized snd expensive
(and im from denmark
Men støre løn
Christian - mange er underbetalte i dk
Og mange er godt betalt👍

In the north east of England we say yem for house. Which I’m pretty sure is a Nordic word
Maybe it's derived from the Danish word "Hjem" which means home.
Sounds about right 🙂
haoN it comes from when the Vikings had control of the north we have other slang words that can relate to the Nordic languages aswell
U say it hjem
Mighty Marouane Fellaini In Denmark we spell it “hjem” but the H is silent
*English - Danish*
*Leg - Ben*
_But there is also the more specific 'læg' which isn't used much anymore, but is probably what it is derived from._
*Freckle - fregne*
*Root - rod*
*Want - vil*
_Kinda similar, but not sure this is the one._
*Skin - hud*
_There's also the word 'skind' which means hide (the noun, not the verb) which is probably the origin._
As a norwegian that thumbnail was more terrifying then anything ever
LMAOOOO
For anyone interested, there's a really cool "what if" scenario created by a guy who played as Denmark in a couple of video games covering the medieval and early modern periods. He wrote down his actions in the game as if though they were real historical records, and turns Denmark into a global empire, pretty much taking over Britain's role in real life, albeit with a lot of differences, of course:

Thank you! Just started reading it.
A good cup of tea and a blanket and you're set for a great and epic story I'm sure
keep in mind england was occupied by vikings for 200 years. 1/3 of your coastal cities carry viking names. and like 50% got traces of our viking blood..
vikings traded egyptian gold and sold stolen goods in russia.
we got around :)
I love Denmark!! And im Japanese brazilian🇧🇷🇯🇵🇩🇰
Vini Yellow i was born in brazil but I'm ethnically Japanese. And I live in Japan right now, how about you?
Vini Yellow Obrigado e voce tambem!
Masatoshi Kento why do not u move?
すごい です こーさん. I love Japan/Nihon and i’m a dane when i become an adult I want to get japanese citizenship and then become a sushi-chef!
I love the videos about Denmark it’s fun to see how people from other countries see our country
Must be painful for swedes 😂😂
vinay mane very
Lol, I love that thought ^_^
vinay mane why?
because Denmark and Sweden, are the two countries, who had the most wars with each other, in the whole world.
BANDIATERRA!!!
We don't speak of that "place".
My home country.
Denmark>Sweden
GCutMedia My main Agar.io name.
alright take it easy now because it seems that you need a history lession, first of all yes sweden "sold" metals to the germans becaus they would have declared war on sweden otherways, for the second of all sweden helped the norvigen, dannish and finnish people to come and hide in sweden under the war, third of all sweden spied on nazi german for the allied and helped finnland in the war against sovijet. sweden had also the plan (operation save denmark and norway) in work where they would go in with military troops and try to save norway and denmark from nazi german
Thankfully someone knows their history
GCutMedia plz stop making war between denmark and sweden! Both countries are really beautiful and shouldn’t be compared in any way
xXBTS JShunaXx lol sweden has much better nature then Denmark
6:42 yeah we have one of THE hardest languages in the whole intire World and that is seriously so cool.
I learnt it in three months (in a special class for people who just moved to Denmark so...)
I live in serampore, India.
Having the Faroe Islands is not an advantage to us Danish. It doesn't have much produce. I don't know the details, but I wouldn't be surprised if were spending more money on the Faroe Islands than we receive. Another matter is that I don't really mind and I think there are many Danish who feel the same way. They're part of who we are. Greenland is even worse in this regard, but they may have potential in the future.
Yeah but they have resources that we can sell later on if we want denmark main land is so low on resources that I am almost throwing up just thinking about it xD
Ye but we also spend a heck of a lot of money on greenland that use their money on stupid things
If Danes ruled, the world would simply be better since we actually are in top 10 of every list of things that makes a country great :)
I think few ppl know this but Dutch are pretty big part of Indian colonial history and they've had pretty big impact culturally too in the colonies they maintained for sometime.
He forgot everything about the the colonized island: Bandiaterra
As a swede, this title terrified me..! I thought Halloween was over?!
Denmark will rule over Arabi- i mean sweden and when we will we will only take the skåne bleking and halland cuz the rest suckssss Love Denmark Not love Denmark
Let's keep it civil, little internet troll!
Skåne is Danish we are just letting you have it for a while
Jojo time good luck trying.
ErikJohannessonTV Nope because we still have Greenland and faro islands you guys are much smaller then our kingdom now
If denmark ruled. We would be a great world xDDDDDD
There would be beer for everyone
True
Yaas
If denmark ruled there would be endless torment. Suffering. Crying for release. But most importantly... A swedish revolt that would kick the shite outta you cowards. #Vasabless
The Maffix Nah
Well im glad to see that Denmark it really exists as a country,i thought that was kind of invented place by Disney or someone else,well im really happy that you guys exist,and is not a joke!!!
Happy to hear it, come visit!
