Det er virkeligt godt lavet. Elsker Sverige, Norge og Findland. Fedt at være Nordisk.

Love it! Learning Swedish and history at the same time. A lovely combination!

Skitbra gjort! Hoppas det kommer fler videor om gränsändringar eller svensk historia.

damn mate finally a channel that focuses on Scandinavia. I speak Swedish on an OK level and wanna get into Finnish too so I hope you'll be making more sick videos like this.

Ångermanland was settled by Norse speaker long before 1150 AD! You can see this in both placenames, placename patterns and archelogical findings. In fact during the first half of the milennia what is today Hälsingland, Medelpad, Ångermanland and parts of Jämtland were its own petty kingdom (the area north of the border forest of Ödemården, desolcated forest, and south of Skuleskogen, Skule forest). The burial mounds along Selånger in Medepad from this era rival that of the mounds in old Uppsala in riches and in wealth - it was not some poor back water area. After the eviromental catastrophy around 536AD and thereafter (several vulcanic eruptions and the following years of global vulcanic winter) the settlments in the north looses their elite characteritics and the population was notibly decreased but never vanished. The political entity was splintred and you can see this when King Sverre of Norway ride first through Hälsingland and the up to Jämtland where he in 1177(?) conqured Jämtland at the battle of Storsjön (on the ice). Here Hälsingland and Jämtland acts as two different political entites, both governed by so called "folk-republics" (similar to Iceland). However it is worth knowing that Jämtland, and most likely the rest of the middle north area as well in some shape or form, was at times paying tribute to the Swedes in exchange for protection from the Norwegian kings, not rarely based in Trondheim at the time. However the Norwegian king Olaf the Holy was held in very high regard and is said to have promoted church building in the whole river vally of Ljungan on his way to the battle Stikkelstad where many men from the area joind him. Had he not died there who knows if the area would perhaps become under Norwegian rule. We know that in the 1200-ish the Swedish king considered the area his subjects. But in his letters he is begging the area to pay tribute, pay taxes and provide military men. A medeival king do not beg and it clearly show that the inhabitants of this area thought of themselves as independent no matter what the king himself thought. It was not until 1320AD that Swedish taxcollectors stopped being killed on the spot and the area started to become a integrated part of the Swedish kingdom. If you swap the area "Ångermanland" out with "Västerbotten" though then the word "colonize" is a somewhat better fit as the majority of norse/Swedish placenames are of a younger date in this area. However you miss quite a big political entity in the region and that is the Finnish speaking Kvens/Kväner who is most likely from whom the elite known as "Birkarlar" (likely meaning merchants who trade with, and later collected tax from, the Sami) came. Along the coastline there had also been home, seasonal amd permantly, to Norse speaking coastal fishers. There is at that many different entities inside what we today just call Sami. So lumping all this groups, with different languages, lifestyles and culture into one with the missrepresetative lable "Sami" is bordeline disrespectful and carry in it self a bad aftertaste of a colonial mindset. That this ares were incoperated into the Swedish kingdom is a fact. If it was voluntarely or involuntarely or both at the same time is a complex issue. However the choices of words are important and using "colonised" indicates that there was no Norsepeaking people there before this date, which is false. The very name "Ångermanland" is old Norse in origin (meaning "the fjord mens land") and even have a flavour of west Norse (like Norwegian; compare "ånger" with Norwegian "anger", as in Stavanger, as the word for "fjord") rather the east Norse (like the Swedes). Infact the dialects of the whole area has flavours of west Norse that the rest of the east coast do not have.

Awesome. It was interesting for me because it's the first time I've ever heard Swedish but understood a lot of what was said without subtitle help. Really beautiful language 👍

Wildeshausen is so only about 400 km from my home :) Can't believe it used to belong to Sweden! Greetings from Belgium.

Tack för den här videon som är mycket informativ och har också hjälpt mig att förbättra min svenska :)

Ingermanland is where I, my dad, my granddad and also my great granddad were born. That feeling when the author is speaking about your homeland

Fantastiskt spännande presentation. Bra jobbat!

Riktigt bra. Denna bör många fler (historielösa) människor se.

Interesting. Tack så mycket! However, there was no “Russia” in the 17th century, as it was called Moskovia at the time. It started being called “Russia” in the 18th century, with czar Peter I. Besides, it the 13th century Novgorod was connected to Rus, which was not the same thing as the modern Russia.

Nu kan vi göra som Ryssland o hävda våran rätt till vissa områden. Vi har ju historiska rättigheter.

According to Ottar from Hålogaland (visiting king Alfred of Wessex around 890, i.e. 1130 years ago) Norway reached up to about todays Tromsø. He knew, because he lived there. He was also granted the right to tax the Sami-people. One may ask who it was that could grant such rights to his underlings? Ottar (in English Othere) told king Alfred about Norway, and he also knew of the Svear and Daner and the Kvener (swedes, danes and finns) and where they lived! He also visited the Bjarmer (present day Russia) and gave king Alfred a gift he had purchased from the people he met in Bjarmeland. Actually he understood the languages of the Bjarmer because they spoke a language very similar to the Samis. At that time it was a group closely related to the Sami that lived along the shore of the White Sea (as we call it). Maybe the most important thing was that he told king Alfred that he was a Norwegian that came from Norway, and he also tried to explain how the Norwegians differed from the neigbouring countries of Svear and Daner.

Bra forklart :) Jeg tror det mangler en kort men spesiell hendelse i 1644 eller noe. Vanskelig å finne info.

So interesting! My family name is Richter and I have tried to figure out how I have this German name. I have traced my ancestry back to Uppsala in the middle of 1600. Then the traces are not clear. There are soldiers with the name Richter who fled the Russians from the Baltics. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me find out more.

Utmärkt sammanfattning, och fint att inte bara visa gränsförändringarna utan även ge litet kontext vid varje årtal. Apropå pantsättningen av Wismar 1803 så var det ju en pantsättning på 100 år. Sverige hade kunnat lösa in lånet 1903 och återfått provinsen, även om det varit dyrt, bisarrt och onödigt.

Grymt bra video och väldigt detaljrik sammanfattning. Tusen tack!!

Thanks a lot for a very informative and pedagogical video.

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear" - George Orwell

Hi. I actually don't understand the language, but as a slovak speaker, the word ,,sveriges,, catched my eyes. It is wery similar to SEVER whitch means north (eng). SVERNIK could be translated as : Northerner. This is also in other slavic languages.

Hade varit roligt om du tog med svenska kolonier samtidigt som de facto var svenska områden :)

Mycket välgjort och intressant, youtube behöver fler videor som denna!

Now i see why your norwegian pronounciation is so good (Still kinda sounds like a swede tho). Because of your good american english accent i thought that you actually was american. I loved the vid my fellow scandinavian

Satakunta is currently Satakunta in Swedish also. It is a translation of Hundare (Hundred in English) i.e. an area that would raise a hundred soldiers.

Valdigt interessant! Som en finsk-amerikan med svensk ursprung, allting med Sverige intresserar mig.

Thank god there's an actual English subtitle, to whoever translated, whether it be the creator or a random person I shall worship you.

Bra berättat! :)

INTRESSANT VIDEO, SPENDERADE MIN LÖRDAG MED FAMILJEN OCH FICK EN HÄRLIG KONVERSION RUNT MATBORDET 👍

I have recently discover, that my great grandfather was born in Småland. And myself are finnish in 3rd generation

likte denne vedlig godt, presis, og oversiktelig! 👌

Tavasland has been much longer there(1150 year.). Metal decting finds has proved that near Tampere area there has been much population.

Fast du glömde berätta vad som hände med Wismar: 1903 beslutade man att inte lösa panten (som hade varit på 100 år), varpå staden slutligt övergick i tysk ägo.

imponerande tydlighet 👌

Väldigt bra förklarat

Tack! Så intressant!

Älskade Sverige!

bra gjort, tydligt och intressant.

trevlig video fortsätt

Var det inte någon fästning i Åländska skärgården som finnarna råkade bygga på den svenska sidan av en ö i modern tid, som fick kompenseras av att Sverige fick mark från finska sidan av ön? (vilket förvisso är en historisk fotnot men trots allt är en gränsförändring).

Det er en bra video , hilsen fra Norge

You do not take into account that after the Danish/German war in 1864, when Denmark lost the entire land area from Kolding down to Hamburg, there were negotiations between Germany and Sweden about dividing the remains of Denmark between them. Sweden was to get Zealand and Funen as well as Bornholm, and Germany was to have Jutland. The argument was that Denmark had become too small an independent state. It didn't come to fruition due to protests from e.g. Russia that did not want Sweden to control entry to the Baltic Sea. Denmark then got a piece of land back after World War 1 in a referendum which Hitler accepted.

I never knew you were Swedish (I don’t even know if you are speaking Swedish but probably yes because this is a video about Sweden)

Genialisk video!!

Tack för denna video!

Intressant, Det där visste jag inte så i detalj. Thanks allot friends, 🙏👍🙂🇸🇪

So why didnt you visualize the colonies? Ive always been fascinated that Denmark and Sweden had colonial empires

It’s weird listening to Germanic languages as a Brit, it’s like you can understand what he’s saying but don’t know what the words mean

That was great! Thanks.

Underbar history lektion, mycket lärorikt, tack,

Why do I somehow understand this without subtitles?

10:40 If Finland had agreed to the territorial changes demanded by Stalin, in order to get St. Petersburg a safety zone, would this perhaps have been sufficient? Savonlinna's Olavi castle would still be a border fortress. This is related to speculation so that Finland's drift into the winter war could have been avoided?

Bästa videon någonsin

As one Swede once told me: Svenska Estland är det bästa Estland :)

Föredömlig video!

There was a time when Sweden was a part of Finland.

Fred är bästa som finns i världen. Krig ar onödigt och tråkigt bättre liva med fred. Hoppas hela världen blir fred en vacker dag så folk slipper fly

tack, bra att veta

The video would not in any shape or form - with it's description of history - qualify in the category of "academic". There are to many mistakes in factual history when it comes to time setting and even completely ignoring several acts of war from the Swedish side.

The 1150 borders are pretty much an erronous fantasy. Värmland was not swedish until around 1200 or later. Same with the area around Gothenburg. A lot of unhistorical bold claims in the beginning. You need to skip ahead to about 1260 - after that it is quite alright.

Landsgränsen hade en annan betydelse före EU´s existens.

Jag tycker det är dags att vi börjar expandera igen

Bra!

The circumstances were NOT unclear when Finland was incorporated into Sweden. Sweden had a crusade. Or a few of them over the years. The purpose was to turn Finland into Christianity by sword. And conveniently using Christianity as an excuse take advantage of the riches: fur and salmon etc. As Finland at the time was not a political entity as such it was not without structure. There were strong territorial tribes that governed the land. (0:48-1:45). In Häme (Tavastland/Tavastia) there is a lake called Regret lake (Katumajärvi, Hämeenlinna). When the Swedish came and baptized the Häme people (be baptized or beheaded) many did get baptized. But after the Swedes turned their backs the Häme people 'washed' the baptizm away in that lake. Häme people are still known as stubborn and quiet to this day. :D

Excellent

👍🙂🙏

Academia cerava jag älskar dina videos så mycket

❤❤❤👍

Enkelt men utmärkt.

Inte bara Samer, vi Tornedalingar/Kväner fanns där med!

Veldig interessant som nordmann å se hvordan Sverige ble til og grensene ble slik de er i dag.

And this, my friend, is why KZhome added subtitles

Tack lärorikt till max i denna lagom långa film

👍🇫🇮🇸🇪🇺🇦❤️😊

Tack!

ничего не понятно, но очень интересно))

Tänkt om Sverige hade haft kvar sin stormakt då hade säkert större delen av EU pratat svenska.

gillar svensk histora

As a norwegian, it's so weird hearing swedish. I was so confused when i saw the title of the video

Glöm inte att på 1650-talet så var Delaware i Nordamerika svenskt

Kan du inte göra en film om vilka gränser Sverige hade utanför Europa

Sverige fick väl sina nuvarande gränser 1985... Märkets fyr... Var det inte så?

Intressant!

Gränsen mellan Finland och Sverige justerades ju 1985, då Finland fick marken omkring Märkets fyr och Sverige ett område med motsvarande yta öster om fyren: sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4rket

Mycke interessant

Väldigt intressant! Lägger ut länken på cuzz.

grym

Oj sverige var litet!

"Samernas ursprung I boken reder författarparet också ut samernas ursprung, en grupp som klassas som ett ursprungsfolk. - Dagens samiska män har fädernelinjer som kom hit för omkring tvåtusen år sedan, under järnåldern, säger Peter Sjölund. In- vandringen kom i tre vågor, en från nordvästra Asien,"

1150... Samer... Och de som var den härskande klassen: Kvänerna, som också var här innan nomadfolket Samer.

#Formathistoria

Everybody chill. There are english subtitles.
