infodumping.

Question

I feel like infodumping

please ask me any questions about Scandinavia or my hyperfixations 

Also, look at my old bio in Istation from last year 

Answer 1

Why did they immigrant to America in the SAINS anyways

Comments

Which SAINs

there is a SAIN multiverse. The SAIN lore is expanding. 

---

any SAIN

like why did Scandinavian people actually immigrate to America

---

Basically let's say it was the Norway-Sweden union's fault

They didn't care about their citizens, only the rich ones. The poor were the majority, and there was littearly a lot of problems involving the poor.

Even thought Norway improved a little bit with the problems unlike Sweden, Norway was still pretty awful back then

---

So that's why you don't like the Norway-Sweden union.

---

Nobody does

My friend Jordan is Danish-American, and the union went as far as affecting Denmark and Finland. Iceland was chill (the only "big" problem was that Denmark cut trade to Iceland, and Because of this Over 4,000 Icelanders died of starvation) , Sápmi was doing mid, they had some fights with Norway-Sweden but good relationship with Finland.

For context. These are the numbers of people who left in the 1800s and early 1900s

Norway ~ 500,000

Sweden ~ 1,500,000

Denmark ~ 100,000

Finland ~ 500,000

Iceland ~ 20,000

Sápmi ~ 350 to 200

Faroe Islands ~ 20 families. JUST 20-

This is only an estimate. I don't know the specific number. There is also a really small Faroese Settlement in California. Which basically nobody cares about.

May make an in-depth Kidznet article

---

For some reason, the thing about small Faroese settlement in California sticked in my head-

---

Why

Also, there are currently only 200 Faroese-Americans

what happened. I understand it was only 20 families (so like 450~700 people) but what

---

Cause I remember random things

(i'm pretty sure it's cause i live in CA though but i do remember random things)

Maybe the Faroe Islands were better than The Norway-Sweden Union bc if they were why would you immigrate to america

---

WHY DID THE EVEN DECIDED TO DO THAT

FAROE ISLANDS ARE SO CHILL

---

WHY DID WHAT DECIDE TO DO WHAT

---

They just wanted to be with the trend

Sweden-Norway Union : We just lost a third of our population!
Denmark : same

Finland : I lost a quarter

Faroe Islands : I LOST 20 FAMILIES, ONE WITH 8 KIDS (Big families were extremely common back in Scandinavia)

---

w o w

---

yeah. A lot of the families were down to between 2 and 4 kids due to very early deaths.
