do people from norway and sweden hate eachother too, or is it just directed towards finland?

Norwegians and Swedes are pretty much the same. The culture and people are so alike that any outsider would find it very difficult to find any differences between the two nations apart from the fact that Norway has tons of oil and Sweden doesnt

Even the languages are so similiar that people from Norway and Sweden can usually understand eachother just fine. poo poo they used to be one country..

Finland invented the Molotov Cocktail in that war

They didnt have proper anti tank weaponry so they just set everything on fire instead

now it is the obligatory white death post:

quote:

Simo "Simuna" H�yh�; December 17, 1905 � April 1, 2002), nicknamed "White Death"During the Winter War (1939�1940) between Finland and the Soviet Union, H�yh� served as a sniper for the Finnish Army against the Red Army in the 6th Company of JR 34 during the Battle of Kollaa in temperatures between −40 �C (−40 �F) and −20 �C (−4 �F), dressed completely in white camouflage. Stalin�s purges of military experts caused chaos, and Soviet troops were not issued with white camouflage suits for most of the war, making them easily visible to snipers. H�yh� was credited with 542 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers by Finnish military historian Robert Brantberg, while the documentary shown on Finnish channel MTV Oy stated 505 sniper kills. A daily account of the kills at Kollaa was made for the Finnish snipers.

All of H�yh�'s kills were accomplished in fewer than 100 days � an average of just over five kills per day � at a time of year with very few daylight hours.

H�yh� used an M/28-30, with serial number 60974, since it suited his small frame (1.6 m (5 ft 3 in)). The rifle is a shorter, Finnish White Guard militia variant of the Mosin�Nagant rifle, known as "Pystykorva" (literally "Spitz", due to the front sight's resemblance to the head of a spitz-type dog) chambered in the Finnish Mosin�Nagant cartridge 7.62�53mmR. He preferred iron sights over telescopic sights as to present a smaller target for the enemy (a sniper must raise his head higher when using a telescopic sight), to increase accuracy (a telescopic sight's glass can fog up easily in cold weather), and to aid in concealment (sunlight glare in telescopic sight lenses can reveal a sniper's position). As well as these tactics, he frequently packed dense mounds of snow in front of his position to conceal himself, provide padding for his rifle and reduce the characteristic puff of snow stirred up by the muzzle blast. He was also known to keep snow in his mouth whilst sniping, to prevent steamy breaths giving away his position in the cold air.

The Soviets' efforts to kill H�yh� included counter-snipers and artillery strikes, and on March 6, 1940, H�yh� was hit by an explosive bullet in his lower left jaw by a Russian soldier, blowing off his lower left cheek. He was picked up by fellow soldiers who said "half his face was missing", but he did not die, regaining consciousness on March 13, the day peace was declared. Shortly after the war, H�yh� was promoted from alikersantti (Under-Sergeant) to v�nrikki (Ensign) by Field Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim.

this little dwarf killed so many russians

How did our countries up north get their names anyway? I live in Sweden and I have no idea where "Sverige" came from

quote:

In Sweden, the form Swerike is attested from the end of the 13th century, Svearike, from the 14th century, as well as the Icelandic Sv�ar�ki and the Old Gutnish Suiariki.
In those days the meaning was restricted to the older Swedish region in Svealand and did not always include G�taland, the land of the Geats. The word rike translates to "realm" and also appears in the name of the legislature, Riksdag (c.f. Danish rigsdag, German Reichstag).

Towards the end of the 15th century, the form had changed to Swerighe both in Swedish and Danish, like bakare ("baker") to bagare and mik ("me") to mig. 17th-century spellings include Swerghe, Swirghe, Swirge.

Much is made about the difference between the medieval forms Svearike and Sverige. Although, medieval Swedes were unlikely to see it as anything else but a matter of pronunciation.

It kind of just appeared one day and no one knows where it came from before those records. Our ancestors loving sucked at writing poo poo down. Too busy raping and wrestling in the mud.

Meanwhile, in Finland;

quote:

The first known written appearance of the name Finland is thought to be on on three rune-stones. Two were found in the Swedish province of Uppland and have the inscription finlonti. The third was found in Gotland, in the Baltic Sea. It has the inscription finlandi and dates from the 13th century. The name can be assumed to be related to the tribe name Finns, which is mentioned first known time AD 98 (disputed meaning).

loving no one knows where "Suomi" comes from
