System Metternich posted:Iceland? Approximately 20% of Iceland's original settlers were Gaelic. Most of them slaves and concubines either kidnapped in raids on the way over from Norway or bought at the slave markets at Dublin or another of the Norse settlements in Ireland. So that's some connection.

I've heard the French let the ETA operate freely in France since they primarily used their bases in France as a safe-haven when things got heated and would very seldom actually do any terroristing in France itself as not to risk bringing unneeded attention to their hideouts. The French knew this and did therefore not take any action against the ETA since it wasn't really their problem what they did in Spain and it was best not to rock the boat. That is to say until the Spanish convinced them to help and a lot of ETA members were arrested in France.

When I was in Stockholm a few months ago I went to the national museum and in the section about Sweden's golden age they very heavily emphasised that all this immense wealth was a direct result of them oppressing and exploiting Saami and Africans and therefore not really something to be proud of. It was very Swedish of them. Even more Swedishly there were a bunch of blurbs on the walls with thoughts from LGTB people on history. It was rad.

Danir hafa vitanlega forþýskast heil ósköp og eru í raun ekkert annað en Þjóðverjar í afneitun líkt og Austuríkismenn og Hollendingar. En Kaupmannahöfn er þó skemmtilega gegnsætt orð. Höfn þar sem kaupmenn starfa. Annars er Danmörk alveg allt í lagi ef manni líkar við reiðhjól, repjuakra og rauð múrsteinahús.

Badger of Basra posted:Why do all the Belgians hate their cities so much (apart from being full of Belgians)? Cities have more people in them. People have hands and Belgians, being bloodthirsty monsters that are only vaguely human shaped by pure coincidence, all hate hands with a fiery passion and wish to chop them off and it offends them that so many hands can exist in one place.

Baka-nin posted:Internal toll roads lasted until 1843 in rural Wales, they mainly plagued farmers and travellers. They were abolished after mobs of locals seized the toll houses burnt the books that named those who refused to pay and smashed up the gates. This was event was called the Rebecca riots after a biblical allusion, but mainly because the locals would dress up in women's clothing to disguise themselves while smashing up the barriers. "Can I borrow one of your dresses, love? I need to go smash up the tollhouse and burn their records. I promise not to stretch it too much and I'll be really careful not to get any blood or soot on it.."

Turks are very Greek and Greeks are quite Turkish. The Turkic people that conquered Anatolia back in the day were probably vastly outnumbered by the Greeks living there already. Which is why Turkish Turks look a lot more Greek and less Asian than most of the other Turkic nations that never left Central Asia.

Grevling posted:You'd think so, but it's more likely a bunch of modern northern europeans trying to invade or plunder anything would just be awkward for everybody involved imo. You could probably plunder a village or two in the Faroe Islands or even the tiny isolated bits of the British isles with a handful of armed men. You would never get away with it because viking raids are a lot less common these days so it would get a lot of attention from law enforcement.

Kópavogur, along with Garðabær, Mosfellsbær, and Hafnarfjörður, is basically just a suburb of Reykjavík. It's basically a bunch of towns that have all grown into each other so now the borders between them are a bit vague. A bit like LA except tiny. and the reason basically everyone lives in that corner of the country
