    AHC: Swedish Norway, Danish Scania

    So, the challenge here is to have Scandinavia divided between a Swedish-Norwegian union and a Denmark that still has Scania (the OTL southern cape coast of Sweden), with a PoD after 1400 AD. Is it possible?

    Could Dorset people from Greenland settle in Iceland?

    The Dorset were the pre Inuit inhabitants of northern North America, could they succesfully colonise Iceland before the Norse? What effects would this have on history? How would they react to the Norse and how would the Norse react to them?
  6. WI: Continuous Viking Age?

    What if the Viking Age continued for several more centuries? And what if Scandinavia remained an international locus of trade and military power well into the Middle Ages and Renaissance? How could the Viking Age last longer? Here are a few different possibilities. Prolong the flow of silver...

    What if Denmark won the Gunboat War and still keeps the possession of Norway?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunboat_War Presume if the Dano-Norwegian government had the manpower to build huge numbers of gunboats that were not only very manoeuvrable, but strong enough to resist multiple hits and able to stand rough seas. If this wasn’t enough, then please checkout my...
  9. What if Charlemagne invaded Scandinavia?

    According to the Royal Frankish Annals, in the year 810 Charlemagne was preparing to invade Denmark, but the death of their King Gudfred caused Charlemagne to call off the invasion. What if Gudfred lived, and the Franks invaded Denmark? If Charlemagne conquered Denmark, it seems possible that...
  10. AHC: More extensive Varangian influence in Kievan Rus'

    Could the Rus' Khaganate, later Kievan Rus' federation, or the Republic of Novgorod have taken on heavy Norse influence, possibly eventually seeing itself as an extension of the Scandinavian kingdoms? What events could have transpired to expand the areas of Varangian settlement in Kievan Rus'...
  11. Norse Antipodes

    I am using the term "Norse" as to refer to all North Germanics(Danes, Faroes, Icelanders, Norwegians, Swedes). By "Antipodes" i am refering to Australia and New Zealand. Edit: one of these groups is considered Norse by itself. You don't need to have migrants from all these areas/groups. But you...

    An Eastern Orthodox Sweden?

    IOTL, Medieval Sweden has extensive contacts with Russia, which, as we all know, converted to Orthodox Christianity under Byzantine influence. Is there any way for this religious influence to somehow also be bounced off towards Sweden, resulting in an Orthodox Christian country in Scandinavia...

    What If Scandinavia Became a Communist Union, Similar to Yugoslavia?

    I posted a timeline for this a couple days ago and it’s complete trash, but I still like the idea. So what if instead of becoming Constitutional Monarchies, Norway and Sweden somehow become a Communist Union, similar to Yugoslavia. Would they get sucked into the Soviet Sphere or would they try...

    Here’s a quick timeline I made about a Communist Scandinavian State. 1914 - World War I starts with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Norway - Sweden remains neutral throughout it. 1919 - World War I ends. 1925 - Norway - Sweden is split after a referendum. While Norway adopts a...

    Skandinaviendeutsche? (Germans in Scandinavia)

    Seen this map before? Ok, Maybe not this one specifically, but it still should tell you about what went down OTL Drang Nach Osten & Ostsiedlung, I.E German settlement east. I'm not gonna bore you with the explanation of why this happened (mostly because I know too little to add much). But as...

    WI: Viking Conquest of Britain in the 9th Century

    So, suppose that kings Alfred and Aethelred of Wessex are much less lucky in beating back the Great Heathen Army, and see their lands conquered by it instead. England becomes "Jorvik", a brand new Norse state, or collection of warlord states, in the late 9th century. So, what are the effects on...

    Could Sweden be viewed as an Axis co-belligerant due to permiting german military transit?

    As the title says. Also, what consequences would that have? Could the soviets invade from Finland or the Allies bomb the mines so the germans don't have acces to the iron?

  20. AHC: Maximum population of far-northern Scandinavia

    With a POD of 1900 AD or later, create the largest possible population in northern Scandinavia by 2000 AD. By northern Scandinavia, I mean the northern halves of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. If possible, the area north of the Arctic Circle (though that encompasses a much smaller area of each...
