@Trebjonn probably orientals iirc
i live in NSW now but i spent a lot of time in melbourne
Denmark and Canada at war?
(gift means poison in Danish, though <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506> )
@Trebjonn asian asians, hot ones 👌🏼
I don't think the dispute is settled
they just stopped doing that
not at war @obrallaghan, just doing some silly shit because of a small Island.
I think it's called Hans Island in Danish
not sure what you call it over there
i saw dat island described on reddit as "the worlds friendliest border dispute" lolz
"Canada and Denmark Fight Over Island With Whisky and Schnapps"
this is exactly what I expected
we're civilized people after all
Mainland Denmark is so small, but then they have greenland'
@Mal it's not like you're estonians or anything
Estonians really want to be considered Scandinavian though
"notice me senpai"
Yes, Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands were Norwegian colonies that Denmark kept after Norway was lost to Sweden.
not sure why, Sweden must not really have cared at that point, those places being of little strategic importance
I'm part Icelandic, my afi's name was Valdimar Helgason
Iceland declared independence after Denmark was invaded by Nazi Germany

gREAT OPPURTUNITY
Helge (danish version of your patronym) is still a fairly common name here
by invaded do you mean, "ya sure guys come on in"
well, the troops at the border killed more Germans than the Germans killed Danes
but they were not at all ready for something like the invasion, so I can't really fault them
it's not like in Hearts of Iron, where you can block the entire german army at the strait to Fyn <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
Honestly norway could have done more to halt germans coming in to norway if the poleticians didnt cuck it up
I think the Danes realized that Hitler did nothing wrong...
they probably could, but it would also probably have cost Norway dearly
you guys should have fought
Well, Hitler did after all really, really love portraying the Scandinavians as noble and worthy people... lol
1/3 of the Canadian military was volunteer. they wanted to kill some fucking Nazis
my great grandfather didn't have to go and he did
the germans called the Danish occupation the "whipped cream front"
because it was a paradise being stationed there..
