I found some hints towards what you're talking about in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Copenhagen_(1807)#Aftermath but "viking" doesn't appear on either page, I must not understand Danish Romanticism
it's why you can't understand history from reading wikipedia alone (not trying to slight you here)
the Vikingen poem, by Geijer, is what popularized the Vikings. written in 1811.
Sweden lost to Finland in 1809.
Denmark and Norway were bombed into bankrupcy by Britain, in 1807-13.
All of Scandinavia was getting simultaneously owned at a common point in time. There was a lot of anger, Geijer recognized this and wrote the poem, and it was memed into reality
hey, you're actually right but there's another thing. Sweden lost the Finnish war in 1809. The poem that popularized a lot of viking stuff (Vikingen) was written by Geijer in 1811.
I didn't know about the Danish/Norwegian loss to the British at the same time though.
So I think it's safe to say that all of Scandinavis suffered heavy losses, got buttblasted, and memed cope into reality across national boundaries. Later the meme was picked up by British/US whites, who adopted it as a symbol of pan-white superiority.
"vikings" only became a thing after Geijer wrote the poem Vikingen. 1811.
Coincidentally, Sweden had just lost the Finnish war, and all of Finland, which halved its total land area. 1809.
"vikings" were cope. The swedish version of "Superpower by 2020" or "TUPAC ALIVE IN SRBIJA"
there is so much other shit like that swimming in white history, which never gets called out because it's about whites
Poster below me says they became popular after Denmark was bombed, which may be true as well. Glancing the wiki, it seems to coincide exactly with the date that Sweden lost to Finland (1807ish). So it was probably multiple scandi nations suffering heavy losses and coping.
To be fair, the whole nationalist romanticism thing was something that was just going on at the time. Later on in the 1800's Finnish people became very interested in Karelian folklore and shit
This reminds me that there are and have been small communities of what are essentially Finnish hoteps who believe that every ancient king and kingdom in recorded and prerecorded history was actually Finnish but that they were somehow fucked over by the dastardly Swedes/Vikings who went on to enslave Finns and to erase all traces of ancient Finnish culture... and this slavery goes on even today in the form of mandatory Swedish classes in Finnish schools. It's wild
daily reminder that "vikangz" were a cope meme that swedes came up with cuz they were butthurt about losing finland
It's literally the swedish version of "superpower by 2020"
where can I read more?
