We Norwegians LITERALLY created all European naval based empires.

>we had to build ships to communicate accross our fjords
>we built bigger and bigger ships
>eventually we invaded Denmark (who invaded back once they learned how to build ships from us)
>we invaded Europe (none of them had a navy AT ALL)
>they learned to have a navy FROM US
Based BLACK Norwegians.
The Danes called us Norse, we called them... well Danes.
What about the Romans and their Triremes?
We had HUGE battles at sea. That most people don't even know about AT ALL.
Forgotten about in those times. Continental Europeans had NO INTEREST in the sea whatsoever UNTIL WE CAME ALONG.
My favorite story about you guys is that when they made swords they would use their ancestors bones to add carbon to the steel. Based Raiders.
In the 13th century, NORWAY had the most powerful navy in Europe.
when did the locals stop fighting each other and start setting sail?
Of course after a few CENTURIES European countries would adapt and create their OWN navies.
Norway was unified in 872
Borders has remained almost unchanged since.
What prompted the unification? Some glorious hero?
>being proud of your ancestors being a bunch of troglodyte pirates who did nothing of value, and just plundered real civilizations
If you read into Norwegian kings of that time, I'm sure you will find some interesting stories.
BS, we CREATED civilizations.
Sayysss Harald Fairhair
Moving on, how well versed are you in Norwegian history
You wouldn't even EXIST without Norway.
I hate to break it to you but if your line stayed in Norway, then your ancestors were probably too weak and feminine to join the real men who went out, pillaged and took land. Then with no real men to guide your ancestors, they became Denmark's little cuck. While the rest of our strong lines went throughout Europe and helped colonize America.
Sure ya did buddy
*Pats your head*
No you didn’t. There are a lot of things that are great about western civilization. Almost none of those come from your part of the world. Also stop believing in the Jewish lies about your history.
Which ones ? Iceland ?
I mean, I’ve got no problem with Norway or Norwegians, but what value has Norway provided to the human race ?
Please explain.
>they became Denmark's little cuck
No, you don't understand. You don't have the info so it's ok.
We had the Kalmar Union (initiated by a NORWEGIAN royal marriage to Sweden - the entire union was a Norwegian creation).
After a few year after the Danish king fucking too much with the Swedes, Sweden left the Kalmar Union and Norway was stuck in it (no called (Denmark-Norway).
It was all because of the Black Death. Before that we were NUMBER 1 IN SCANDINAVIA. I now hope CoronaChan will brings us back what was TAKEN FROM US.
Happy? Now fuck off.
We shaped European naval history
Without you would not exist
What's so hard fo understand nothingburger?
Iberians kickstarted oceanic exploration
You don’t even know what you are talking about. If anything naval history of Europe was shaped by the Portuguese. Do you even know what “caravel built” means ? How about a lateen sail ? I’ll give you a hint; your shitty longboats had neither.
It was IRRELEVANT AT THE TIME.
It was WE Norwegians who started it again (also Iberians didn't go cross oceans at all like we did)).
Also, we did this for CENTURIES before Europeans cought up.
WE
Based Italian gets it.
>Iberians didn’t go across the ocean like we did.
Norwegian education !
>. If anything naval history of Europe was shaped by the Portuguese
LMAO KEK
The Portugues were greate later but not at this time (I'm talking about). At this thime they had NOTHING. NO navy at all.
At this time the Holy Roman Empire asked the Norwegian king to become their emperor (mostly beause Norway had a powerful Navy). The Norwegian king declined.
At that time? No they didn't even REMOTELY travel how we did.
A few centuries later yes, they became one of the greatest. But not in the 13th century.
>But not in the 13th century.
Then it was literally 'Norway rule the waves'
>not holy
>not Roman
>not an empire
Nobody cares about pirates in longships raiding monasteries and pillaging Slavic farms. What exactly is your argument ? What is the technological innovation over, say, the ships the Roman trireme ?
Is it true that you guys used to have "no jews allowed" as part of your constitution?
I’ll hand it to the Norwegians crossing the Atlantic in those times took balls. But they couldn’t even conquer the natives (who didn’t have metal, the wheel, etc) when they got there, and there was no amazing technical innovation over what other Europeans had in terms of sailing that I can see. They were brave to travel that far, but that’s about it.
We had WAY better ships at that time.
Also, we were not nearly enough to travel over to 'conquer' the natives. Other European countries/kingdoms literally had no navy at all.
We brought it to them.
You must understand, this was WAY before the British, French or Spanish empires.
(that were ALL made possible because of us).
Norway was literally the FIRST European naval based 'empire'
Fucking copy cats
What technological innovation made your ships WAY better. Can you articulate those ?
I’ve provided the two biggest technological innovations that allowed for the age of discovery; the lateen sail (Romans) and caravel built ship framing (Portuguese). Might add to that the magnetic compass (England ?).
>what is greece
>what is rome
>we did thing in the past
Absolute state of Euroniggers
>created greece and rome
holy shit retards
>caravel built ship framing (Portuguese)
God damn... the Craval was created like 6 CENTURIES LATER IDIOT
Jej
Caravel*
your speaking in English tho
who are the greeks, who are the romans
Ya'll are gay muslims.
Yup it was the Norman's who founded modern England which was the greatest seafaring empire to have ever existed
norwegian women built ships to sail to africa. they stayed there
I’m pretty sure Danemark is the more powerful and influential nation all things considered, and definitely Danish sounds better than Norwegian.
Norway can’t even stack their firewood correctly.
Their shipbuilding was forgotten about in Europe at that time. WE brought shipbuilding back, and way better.
We still do.

So I’m guessing that means you can’t answer my question. To repeat; what we’re the technological innovations the Vikings made with regards to sailing over, say, the Romans.
Do you know where Normandy is ?
>Danish sounds better than Norwegian.

This is fucking cringe Ola.
No, it's world class Leif.
You'll always be inferior to us.
Calm down Mads, the oil will never be yours.
