For people who are wondering i've missplaced the tekst on the secound picture, it was supposed to be the first picture showing King Canute's empire.

[joonte1010]

The map showing the "Canute kingdom" is actually a map showing where the Vikings homelands were (In the red) and were they colonized. The Swedish-Danish wars in 1658 resulted with Denmark loosing 1/3 of its Kingdom, Skåne,Blekinge,halland,Bohuslä­n and not just Malmö. The Great Northern war the Danes lost twice actually, First in the year of 1700 and then at 1710. The Swedes hardly got any aid from its "allies" and the Cossacks were never to be trusted (Around 2000 Cossacks helped Karl XII)

@joonte1010 Coalition victory it was yes, Denmark gained by it Dano-Swedish war was almost 50 years behind the Great Northern so has nothing to do with it. And no the map of Canuts empire was a danish Kingdom not Vikings colonized, that was before Canute.

[joonte1010]

@SAHELLMAND The map you claim to be a map showing the Canute empire is actually a map showing where the Vikings lived and were they explored and settled. Everyone with knowledge about the Viking age know that he never regained full controll over todays Sweden. Sweden back then were divided into several smaller "kingdoms" with their own chieftains, The three strongest where the Svear,Göter and the Gutlanders.

@joonte1010 I dont know where you get your facts from but search Canut up on Wikipedia. Cause what you says is nonsenses it was and empire created before him by the Danes of the conquereing of Britain not where they settled. Cause they settled not just in England but alot other places.

[joonte1010]

@SAHELLMAND I get my facts from facts, The map you used to show the canuts kingdom is a map that shows where the Vikings lived, Were they settled and explored.

The dark red indicates were the Vikings lived in the 8th century, The red shows were the Vikings expanded e.t.c.. And from i have learned it was Norwegians that settled Normandie? And went to the mediterrean from the West, The Swedes had their bussines in the East and went through the East to the Mediterrean and Constantinopel.

@joonte1010 We can keep argueing like this all day. As long as i know and after what i've learned, Danes went into England and down the English channel and from there down too Europe, Go search of on Normans descendents from the Danes. Norwegians went south to Island and scottish isles and Greenland and Vinland (America) and the buisness danes had in england was not setteling was more like expanding the Kingdom. So Canuts MAP i've put up shows he's possesions and allies. Not settelings.

The majority of what you said from the napoleonic wars up till WW2 was wrong. Other that than, it was alright.

@gugagagagreprpr" They became the Normans – a Norman-speaking mixture of Scandinavians, Hiberno-Norse, Orcadians, Anglo-Danish, and indigenous Franks and Gauls."

The hibero-norse and orcadians were Norwegians who came from theyre areas in Brittain. Anglo-Danish were the danish who came from the england area to Normandy.

Correctly it is belived the largest part were danes who setled there but it was a mix of all Vikings.

Rollo himself they still argue if he was Norwegian or Danish.

@joonte1010 faktisk var det danske vikinger der tog normandiet.

[gugagagagreprpr]

@joonte1010 Ja Knud den stor fik aldrig kontrol over hele Sverige ligesom han aldrig fik kuntrol over hele Finland han var kun i den sydlige del men han er stdig den regent i skandinavisk historien der har haft mest land - vis ikke jeg tager meget fejl. Og nej jeg hader ikke sverige det har jeg aldig gjort og det kommer jeg aldrig til vis Sverige blev invaderet ville jeg være først til at tage til Sverige for at hjælpe ligesom jeg ville gøre vis det var Norge der blev invaderet.

[joonte1010]

@SAHELLMAND Yes the first map shows what he ruled, But the 2:e map is something whole different, Thats what i`ve been trying to tell you. Your text is misguiding and makes ppl belivie he owned the whole North and all areas surrounding it to the west and to the East which is false.
