It's safe to say that without Norway the modern world would have been VASTLY different today (and that's not even...

Super comfy those replicas.

The same is true for this much later e 18th century French frigate.

I'd argue more in favor of the Danes (mainly because the majority of my blood is Danish), but yes. Norway changed history and we owe lot of the modern world to them.

Fuck off faggot.

Our great Norwegian navy was literally unopposed for 5 hundred years in Europe. Can you imagine? Imagine how the world will look like 500 years from now.

I fuck with Nords. some of my ancestors were danish vikings but i still fuck with nords too.

> 5 hundred years in Europe
Between which ages?

youtube.com/watch?v=I-YdoIYw5m0

600 to 1300
So really it's 700 years.

ALMOST A FUGGING MILLENNIUM

1300-1500 hanseatic league?
1500-1700 Netherlands
1700-1945 UK
1945-now US?

Anyone got data on that?

>1300-1500 hanseatic league?
Yes, that's AFTER those Norwegian years.
After Norway was completely destroyed by the black death.

Don't worry even in that time we invited the Dutch

(was partly designed by a Dutch guy)

This was our massive fortress against 'Svealand' (Sweden)
Half of it was torn down by the Swedes and used for other stuff.

>600
Are you sure that no Mediterranean navies were stronger? Didn't the viking age start half way 700?

>Are you sure that no Mediterranean navies were stronger?
Not in those times (but they were the only ones who could remotely compete I guess - the rest of Europe had NOTHING).

>(was partly designed by a Dutch guy)
Yeah but he is from what we now call Belgium (the dutch speaking part) lol.

>Don't worry even in that time we invited the Dutch
When?

Ahh... you were always invited.

watched this one just lately, pretty super comfy

though all these ships ofc are both way to expensive and impossible to operate alone too, for that you would want a modern medium sized sailboat with autopilot and ais and all that shit. I've only had motorboats, I really want such a sailboat making the autopilot etc my self for the fun of it even(you already have safe systems for this)

Kek thanks, sry i misread i read invaded. Which also happend but much longer ago and mostly by danes.

>hough all these ships ofc are both way to expensive and impossible to operate alone too
Yeah, and the wood is very expensive to maintain.

>for that you would want a modern medium sized sailboat with autopilot and ais and all that shit
Yes, you should check out sailing the vagabond

Who learned to build ships from us.

It started in Norway, because of our extreme coastline with fjords and islands. The only way to communicate was to start building ships and eventually these ships became larger and larger... until we invaded Denmark (and they stole our art and returned the favor after some decades or centuries).

Denmark had NO incentive to start building ships until us the evil Norse came to their shores.

Do you have a good read on this in English?

Same for the rest of Europe.

watched those alot, there is also this chronic drunk bong that's sailing around usually in the pacific. I forgot what he's named

pretty much freedom go wherever the fuck you want. It's ofc also a lot of maintenance with such a big boat. There is this other american I'm also watching he was about to cross the atlantic and go up in the labrador area now, but he has postponed it due to the virus shit. He wants to stay with his family until it's over

We, Norway, should have been the ONLY naval based empire. But the black death put an end to it.

youtube.com/watch?v=Fc9nTcROQtw

just watched a few more videos of the Draken...so fucking based.

Made me think about the Scandinavian airline commercial with the black guys saying "our viking ancestors" so fucking retarded.

We need to instill more pride for our people moving into the future. and put an end to the subversion.

>there is also this chronic drunk bong that's sailing around usually in the pacific.
Sounds pretty entertaining.

>pretty much freedom go wherever the fuck you want
Yeah man that is the life, save up enough and be free.

> It's ofc also a lot of maintenance with such a big boat
You have to have something to do, it 2 hours a day is no problem

Canadians = British and French
No way that you were as relevant as Anglos or frogs

>Norway, should have been the ONLY naval based empire
It is pretty natural to Us too all our land is connected by rivers and there were a lot of swamps. Or for the bongs who are on an island. Water transport/trade in general is very efficient, much more so than land based transport/trade.

God.. Not this guy again, cringe somewhere else

>No way that you were as relevant as Anglos or frogs

Soon.

Yes, we wouldn't have had Iceland (a better country, or it would be if the women weren't whores getting BONG'd)

Also, we created the Anglos and partly also the French (at least when it comes to their navies).

In that regard, it's nice that Britain won (as it's a bit like we winning too).

I would say they owe everybody reparations, but they gave us this, and thats good enough

Norway did well for itself. Was able to explore early on and establish influence, and currently has a massive sovereign wealth fund. I'd say Norway has done well

NORWAY SUPERPOWER BY 2025

Our early influence was COMPLETELY wiped out during the black death though. We had to start anew.

We still make the most modern ships in the world though. So it's ok.

You bounced back successfully. Have you seen The Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman? (I know he's Swedish)

Foreign ships look like 70s vessels to us
youtube.com/watch?v=TMh7Y6XEVsQ

Traditional clinker or lapstrake construction is so fucking sexy.

we had quite good woodworking skills, though not as good as japan, and we had great shipbuilding, but as an army we were always shite.. well, if you count the normans maybe, but i still think you're making too much of it. we had a really good crusade tho

>and that's not even including our ww2 merchant fleet

And that's not even including inventing object oriented programming (that's is used in every single software and app in existance today)

We literally created European naval based empires. Without the Black Death, we would have been THE one.

Maybe Coronachan can fix this and bring Norway back to the right timeline.

youtube.com/watch?v=SNgrhiB6KFg

we could never even hold off the danes, we never really had a chance in 1066 either.. yeah we built good ships but we didn't have better armies than anglos. you're literally going we wuz vikangs

We even ruled Denmark for 5 years under Magnus the Good (before Hardrada who invaded England).
Also, if we had waited 2-3 weeks until after the Norman invation we would have won (the reason why they won was because we invaded first and depleted the English forces).
From 1000-1300 the Danes was NOTHING compared to Norway.

Bad timing was our doom.

well knut, tjugeskjegg and blåtann ruled us for a lot longer than that. the normans would've taken england regardless of the battle order imo..the norse army didn't know how to handle castles

You are just wrong my friend. Norway could have easily defeated England at that time.
