Yes
Yeah thats the eastern Empire
When Byzantium collapsed
The Byzantine Empire
^
Sophia what do you think of the expulsion of danes from southern Sweden
byzantines were better
horrific warcrimes or based ethnic cleansing?
*based
I'm just thinking applying it to the classic rome
When?
Not more modern day
After it was finally conquered
What century?
during the swedefication of scania
17th
after the peace of roskilde
Basically the term Byzantium is a neologism
It was never used by the empire at all
It was simply called Roman empire
Sweden conquered the danish provinces that were on the scandinavian penninsula and pushed them off forever
Then proceeded to forcibly convert everything to swedish
Interesting, I’ll have to read about it
and kill everything else
its when we invented our ABC book
to force danes to learn swedish
based sweden
Denmark has the oldest flag which is still unchanged i think
probably
swedish empire was amazing
I may be wrong
we shamelessly ripped it off
and made it cooler
cause of the union probably
Nah its cause they took the three crowns
so we took their flag
we made them remove the three crowns from their coat of arms though
cause of a war of course
Denmark is the oldest contiguous kingdom I believe
