hooray for brainwashing little children *brick* ouch ok sorry for that ^^;
anyway based on a satw comic by Humon this one https://satwcomic.com/world-view
anyway in that comic, America couldn't see Denmark and thought Norway looked like Sweden, etc.
and I was thinking, hmm "I can't help but think this is somewhat Sweden's fault, why is it that America could see Sweden and not the others"
so I did some research turns out that of all the Scandinavia countries Sweden been with us the longest, even had a colony called New Sweden, which was part of the States Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
and Sweden was the first country not involved in the American Revolution to recognize our Independence and Benjamin Franklin was the ambassador to Sweden, (he never went there because he was old)
any way history out of the way, I do think Sweden might have used this to his advantage to make America like him more than Denmark and Norway (might have backed fire)
also Sweden wearing a Norway flag scarf is based on this comic https://satwcomic.com/the-love-story-of-bornholm
Simo Häyhä was a Finnish sniper in WWII who, with over 700 kills in 105 days, can be thought of as the most deadly human in history. The Russians refered to him as The White Death.
Around 500 000 Swedes lived in USA 2019 and a LOT of Swedes moved to USA for an better life in 1950 so yeah the Americans know us better than the Danes and the Norwegians. But they don't know it all...!
@Smartis this really about New Sweden and Sweden's relationship with young America, Sweden was the first neutral country to recognize the US as an Independent nation, because their king was a fan of Ben Franklin, which btw reminds me so much of SatW Sweden, oh Sweden you big nerd, I love ya.
I think you mean the 1850s is when a lot of Swedes immigrated to the US (some states were still territories including Minnesota which lot of Nordis were attracted to (except for the Danes who were more attracted to Utah and Iceland to Washington (the state), though most live in California Washington has bigger percentage due Washington have a much smaller population than California overall
according to the wiki,3,536,320 Swedish-Americans live in the US though that's probably putting Americans of Swedish decent and Swedish immigrants together
Hahah I don't know what Sweden was up to back then, but judging from how Swedish schools operate today, that sort of behaviour is definitely in character! ;)
The dark side of Sweden...... sure, he dresses up as a clown occasionally, and he has a penchant for horror games and crime shows, but BRAINWASHING CHILDREN? I didn't think he had it in him!
