There is a common saying in my town that goes like: "The Norwegians were the best explorers, the Danes were the best warriors, and the Swedes were the best Merchants and diplomats"
Funny because... Norway is the topmost Scandinavian country, which would make it the country with more new land to go to, the Danes have these things called the Dane axe, so it would make sense for a Danish warrior to carry a Dane axe, and the Swedes are...Swedes.

It's interesting you say that, but while in terms of the UN happiness report Finland is the happiest nation, in terms of Emotional Happiness Gallup Poll, the Latin American countries are happier. Namely Paraguay. This is because the UN report took into account standards of living as a estimate of "happiness" while the Gallup Emotional Poll took emotions as a estimate for happiness.

Soooo good and funny. The costumes and characters are perfect. I also love the camera setup, it feels like we're walking through time/history. Very clever! Well done.
3:20 Leif's granddad, Þorvaldr Ásvaldsson did not discover Iceland, that honor goes to Naddoddur, who drifted there first among Norsemen, and Garðar Svavarsson, who explored it (not Hrafna-Flóki either, he was instead Iceland's first failed settler). Þorvaldr was actually unborn or a young child when Iceland's discovery took place, but settled in Iceland in his adulthood. Leif's dad, Eiríkr Þorvaldsson did however discover/explore Greenland.
In 911 two Danish longboats crashed in two piers near York. Thousands died. Responsible was a fundamentalist group of Odin worshippers. The local noble George Bushington started a war against Scotland, lying to the people of York that Scotland was harboring longboats of mass destruction.
+Pate Riot They're British, and will focus on British history - I doubt they'll ever do either topic. If you want America to play a role in another of their videos, request the Napoleonic Wars.
Their too sassy to America to focus on them as the main country. Then they could do a Vietnam oneabout how many countries had citizens sign up with Amercia to fight aling sides their allies.
as a norwegian x irish person who learned almsot everything about both countries history this is incredibly accurate with subtle but catchy lines that always make sense if you know whet their hinting to
Why would Cold War be cool? They never fought like twice. So all you would hear is threatens. I think Vietnam war would be a little more interesting but idk
I feel bad for them, these are soo good and you can see how much times goes into these, but they only have 59K subs, they deserve like at least an order of magnitude more.
Great Video as always, but why didn't you add another few lines telling how the Normans, (who conquered England from Harold Godwinson) were 2nd or 3rd generation Norse Settlers in Normandy France, and how epicly the 1st generation of those settlers won that land? also these vikings are wearing a lot of brigandine which is odd, given how brigandine is a medieval armor :P
Given that a lot of the Team have Jersey connections I'm disgusted 'A! Or maybe they were diplomatic, not pointing out that's why we own England and the Monarch's oldest title is Duchess sof Normandy.
There was also Harold Fairhair of the Yngling family (that claimed they were descendants of 2 Norse gods) He was the first king of Norway and he did so when he was in his late 20s to early 30s in around 885
It'll be a baptism What torchure is this will I face your gods wrath!? Oh it's more like having a bath. *Shrugs, oh I love that part it's so funny I watched it multiple times
Hey, actually, William the Conqueror ( Guillaume le conquérant ) that became king after Harold came from Normandy, and he is the direct descendant of Rollo. So he has Vikings origins, we can say that at the end, the Vikings did win over England after all.
So basically Vikings left home because of lack of marriage Created the Heathen Army, which was originally Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the expanding to Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland.
Why is that when a Viking raids a Christian monastery it's "to gain a wife" and "being courageous" but when I do it it's "against the law" and "immoral" smh
The Red Pillow Under the Norwegian kingdom. Iceland was not it's own nation during that time it was under Norway. Also it was Norwegians who found and settled Iceland and Greenland.
