Nordic Brothers
Sweden and Denmark have fought each other for as long as anyone can remember and holds the record for most wars fought between them. Yes, we even beat the two big enemies of Europe, England and France.
So is it any wonder we make fun of each other today? Heck, it’s a miracle we even refer to each other as “Nordic brothers”.
And what did we fight over? Well, mainly Norway, occasionally Scania, and every now an then Denmark tried to take over Sweden. Fun times, fun times.

Oh, both fought each other in Germany as well! :-D My current home town of Stade was fortified by the Swedish in the 1600s (the Lands between Elbe and Weser belonged to Sweden, buildings in Stade still display the Swedish Coat Of Arms) until the Danes put an End to Swedish rule here in 1712 by besieging Stade.
Another quite entertaining History is that of Denmark and the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg... The Danish King insisted the City belongs to Denmark and should acknowledge it, threatened Hamburg again and again - while Hamburg promised to think about it and vote about it, but never did. :-D
