Studying Scandinavian history is downright painful sometimes. Excuse me, sir, I don't want to read about your weird opinions on racial superiority, I just want to read about Denmark and Sweden kicking each other around like footballs.

#history #history humor #honestly i'd argue indigenous american history is worse #because it sucks enough finding so many shitty opinions #and it's worse when those shitty opinions are the ONLY contemporary records we have #it's like yes i am well aware that it is not in debate that the aztecs and the maya practiced blood sacrifices #but you people also practice a ritual where you eat your god and regularly terrorized jerusalem in his name #and then you proceeded to destroy multiple civilizations because jeebus #you are not innocent in this #stop painting the aztecs and the maya as the weird ones in this situation #everyone sucks here #anyways scandinavian history is fun mostly because once the viking age ends it's basically a free-for-all between denmark and sweden #with all the rest of northern europe getting caught up in their weird drama by extension #yes this is the reason why the nordics are my favorite hetalia characters #i don't care that they're not canonically related the history books basically read like game of thrones-esque family dramas #it's a lot funnier than it really ought to be
