We literally created all European naval based empires and how do you thank us?

WE WUZ

The biggest port in the early medieval days was in the Netherlands, look up Dorrestad.

Also viKANGS tried to plunder but got ass raped by angry Frisians

Germanics > NERDics

Scandinavia was actually somewhat powerful at that time in a northern European context.
Like the British population was not much bigger than the Scandinavian population. And the Dutch were even smaller (you were like our pets). Of course that all changed after the Black Death that threw Europe into an alternate timeline.

WE WUZ SAILORS AND SHIET

In the European theatre we literally invented ocean going vessels. Your ship (pic) is a 600 year later diesign.

600 fucking years
We were the original MASTERS literally CENTURIES before any other European nation'

entire portuguese defense budget

Without Norway Portugal might not even exist today.

Nah, we are the homeland Frisians but also of the Frankish bulls, though some of our southern cousins converted to Cuckstianity, raped med women and became French.

You didn't do anything without some local Lords approval Knut.

In so many ways

In our golden era from 1000 to 1350, the Dutch were completely irrelevant

Our king even got offered the throne of the Holy Roman Empire by the Pope

He declined though

Did the dutch even exist at that time at all?

If not for the Black Death Scandinavia would probably rule all of northern Europe (all of Germany and all of Poland and the Netherlands etc.)

Lol, we invented caravelas, the first boats capable of sailing against the wind.
Plus tons of astronomical instruments to get orientations by the stars

1º to sail around africa
1º to discover brazil
1º to discover India
1 to discover Australia
1º to discover 80% of the world
1º to circumnavigate the World
1º to map the world

CRY ME A BACALHAU

Yes, but it was all kick started by us.
We literally made the first ocean going vessels in Europe. We showed Europa the importance of a navy. Without us you would have failed,

AND THIS WAS 500 YEARS EARLIER REMEMBER

5 FUGGING CENTURIES

Without us there would have been NO European naval based empires at all. FACT

In this time we travelled our navies all through Europe and NEVER MET a single foreign navy ship

Cringe.

he never should have declined

Your ships at time were shit and not really ocean going

We literally built the worlds FIRST ocean going vessels

We were always an advanced society

Cringe.

vikings were pussy niggas who got btfo'ed by any actually army. They just did nig nog raids on undefended towns. wow so cool.

Yes, no one denies that major civilization started in Greece and then Rome.

But Northern Euroepans also had an advnaced civilization that has been almost forgotten.
They have been portrayed like "barbarians" which is not true at all.

If anything, they were living in pact with nature

A can only talk for Scandinavia, but we had courts etc. (where even women had an EQUAL SAY - she didn't need men to vouch for her).

We had an advanced civilization. Better than most of the christian brainwashed sheep in Europe at the time.

Pro tip: we never became 100% converted to this foreign religion christianity

>Pro tip: we never became 100% converted to this foreign religion christianity

This is why we are successfully fighting against it. Next up is destroying the muslim faith. I'd say within 20 years.

>christian Europe
Okay, but what about before the christianization of Europe?
You aren't doing a good job, it seems.

Thats every army and noble and knight tho

And when our plan comes into motion there is NOTHING muslims can do about it. They will just GRADUALLY stop believing.

>Thats every army and noble and knight tho
what are you saying.

Every army, every knight and all nobility raided plundered raped and razed villages and places

Youre an idiot amerimutt.

Vikings got a reputation for being effective and for being non christian no priest objected to.massacring peasants who got uppity or didnt pay the tithe or that opposed their benefactor

We had the Isle of Man (just outside England) and they could do nothing at all to prevent that. We sacked Paris in France and there was nothing they could do to stop it. This was the power of the Norwegian navy.

Now these countries had to create their own navy which eventually made them world empires.

But it was all because of us.

The US navy is a Norwegian invention!

Cringe.

Norwegian barbarian!

kek, we even had Vikings fighting in Sardinia etc.
Italy had ships, but only really ram boats and they never left the mediterranean. We created real ocean going vessels that explored the world.
Also, we were never 'barbarians' (Roman propaganda) We had a highly developed civilization.

Lesson: if you did something wrong in the viking days in Scandinavia, not only you but your entire family would be punished through fines (on our 'think' (court))

thing*
(or Ting as we call it here)

Best part. Women had an equal say and did not need men to vouch for them.

It was actually because of us.

Like you, they started off as pirates and eventually called themselves "gentlemen".

based
REMINDER that who you should really be thanking is the ancient shipbuilding tradition of western Norway. Without that there would be no vikangz or juicy, early trade networks

In the year 1000... I doubt it
There were no Spanish ships in Iberia when we fought the muslims there.

Yes, that's true. Viking ships was invented in Norway because of our INSANELY rugged terrain and fjords and islands etc.

We invaded Denmark FIRST
Then they stole our tech

It's these small boats... that eventually grew larger and larger
youtube.com/watch?v=TqBE9EvKCSI

The British and French navy were ALL BECAUSE OF US

Also, 2 out of 5 viking ships found in Denmark have been proven to have been built in Norway through wood samples

What matters is the now, goyim.

Many of our ships are registered in tax havens though...

Not too bad still... 2x Denmark kek

Also, how is the UK so low?!?

The Beady gave away his merchant navy post-war. It never really recovered.

reminder that Columbus traveled to Iceland before discovering America

OK, this requires an old Norwegian band

So basically Norway had a naval empire before Finland and Baltic states, damn, impressive

we wuz boatbuilders and shiet

Best thing Norge ever did was be the first to the South Pole.

What I find amazing is the fact that the Norse manged to bring livestock aboard those relatively small ships
