Denmark and Sweden’s friendly relations

■Denmark and Sweden’s friendly relations

Sweden and Denmark, who had who knows how many fights over a long period of time, were countries whose foundations were based on very similar industries. However, whereas Denmark deepened his relations with other countries and was able to depend on their cooperation, Sweden chose the stoic “I’ll pull through somehow if I do my best” route.

I was reading about Nordic history on the plane, and Sweden’s stoicness is really amazing! I’ll be updating the Halloween manga now!

Denmark’s magic words

 

 

 

 

 


 


 

This is how battles on the ice usually turn out, so in general it’s best not to risk it, but when they succeed it’s pretty cool. Upon seeing the Swedish army marching towards them on the ice, it seems that the Danish army promptly lost their will to fight. By the way, Sweden was in a terrible mood because Russia had his arm around Finland’s shoulders at the time.

The manga kind of gives the impression that Norway is completely disinterested in Denmark, but they were actually working quite well together at the time and I think it was pretty nice.

Many years later, after Norway had been oppressed by the more powerful country, he and Denmark drifted apart. When Norway entered a union with Sweden, Denmark sent him a letter or something in which he threw a childish tantrum and cut their ties, after which the goodwill towards Norway seemed strangely decreased, but that’s another story.

 

Things got a little better for him later, thanks to Denmark.

Halloween!

Belarus
Young children seem to have started enjoying Halloween lately, but they don’t to go around to different houses requesting candy.

Latvia
They’ve had the custom of dressing up in animal and mythological costumes for centuries in order to drive away evil spirits. They go around to lots of houses, dancing. It sounds kind of fun.

Lithuania
November 1st is a day to celebrate saints and ancestors. It seems that this holiday provided a one-month break for everyone way back when, but it’s been shortened to just November first. In recent years, it seems like many young people have started celebrating it like American Halloween.

Estonia
There are lots of real ghosts there so there was an article in Time about how they don’t feel the need to celebrate Halloween. Winters in Tallinn must be scary…

Walking together

Before an International Meeting…

Correct answer: Walking speed

Austria is 23rd and China is 24th.
Germany and Austria are neighbours and they’re both German-speaking countries, yet it’s strange how there’s such a gap between them.
By the way, the lowest ranking country was Brazil, and Romania was second to last.

Doraemon is very popular in China.
