@delpiero1234 why do you disagree that the arguments Nikolaj Wammen gave for changing Århus to Aarhus are completely idiotic? What is your argument for stating they aren't?
it was always funny how the map and the city I was going to was spelled the same
What do you mean? Isn't it natural that the city is wńoted by its name on a map?
and have lost most football matches really
That actually is wrong; we have played them 105 times, won 40, and lost 46.
sure it´s easy for outsiders,
How is Copenhagen easy for outsiders? And Gøteborg would have the advantage of being about in the middle of the new country; the only thing is whether it should be a federation or not. I would say not.
Of course the danes want to annex Eastern Denmark (as I call Skåne), it would give them access to Zlatan!
You are listening too much to fringe members of DF; outside a few DF MPs from time to time I haven't heard anybody seriously argue we should try and get Skåneland and Southern Jutland back. (Though I presume more DF MPs think it too; they are just smart enough to not state it publicly.)
You give far too much credit to proper Danes (Jutland), the part east of Denmark proper we are happy to give to Sweden
it's only Copenhagens and our politicians, they won't be missed ;-)
I say we keep Fyn too; they have traditionally supported us Jutes against the Zealanders. They for instance were part of Jyske Lov too and when Statsbanerne were founded it was also Jutland and Fyn going together.
To be fair, Danes don't understand them at all either ;-)
Speak for yourself.
I am actually surprise you guys didn't got it back after WW2 since it was basically a German buffet lol
The Danish government said no; the Brits actually offered us part of Southern Jutland. I think it just was Flensborg and the area around it, but it might have been more. Cannot exactly remember. Plus if a plebiscite had been made shortly after the war it might very well have meant return to Denmark, since before the Wirtschaftswunder took off the Danish minority had a surge in their membership as people remembered how they used to be Danes.
it is far from the scaries comment made by elected oficialls in denmark in the last decade, with regards to skåne that is.
Which officials? I am only aware of a few DF MPs making comments about getting Skåne back.
I dislike changing names without any thoughts or discussions first
Me too.
And we didn´t really "get" it, there were a vote in that part, in both counties where one voted for Denmark and the other Germany. So yes, we did get some back but not directly due to the war
It was directly due to the war; no war means no plebiscite. Also you are wrong that both
counties duchies (if you actually meant counties then alone in what ended back in Denmark there were 4 counties (not sure if there were more under German rule; but there most likely weren't fewer)). And there never was a plebiscite in Holsten; I don't even think France wanted that (though not completely sure). Instead Sønderjylland was divided into 3 plebiscite zones. The northern one which voted as a block meaning that the German majority cities (Tønder, Sønderborg, Haderslev?, Aabenraa) couldn't vote to stay in Germany. Zone II covered Middle Sønderjylland and among other things included Flensborg; think it also included most of Angeln, but not sure. A third zone covering the area all the way down to Dannevirke was also proposed, but the government decided not to pursue it and after the result in zone II the proposal of a zone III died.
Though I seem to remember that the Brits also after WWI offered us Flensborg, but the government said no. I even think that was what caused the Easter Crisis, but not completely sure on it.
I think a reason they may not add it is because Bavaria has been shrunk quite a bit, it might be to much of a nerf to add Regensburg to the list. I don't know, maybe it won't
They could split the province in 2 then.
Malmö is part of skåne I think I wouldnät have to point that out to anyone and the greater copenhagen area (formerly öresund) is a lot more than just malmö (depsite not being half of skåne as someone claimed).
Actually looked it up and the Øresund region does include all of Skåne.
We do have a union, it's called the EU.
A Nordic union wouldn't have been bad though; now it is a bit moot, though I can still see some advantages with it. (Primarily that we will stand stronger internationally; and that it would strengthen the knowledge about the other Nordic languages among the young parts of the population. It is ridiculous that some young Scandis are so bad at dialects that they cannot understand each other (because when things boil down the Scandinavian languages still pretty much are just different dialects). That would also mean a bigger language area meaning that things would become cheaper since the market for Scandinavian language products suddenly is 20 million.
Prussia didn't conquer shcleswig-holstein they liberated it.
Except that is completely wrong. And until the heavy Germanization of the late 1800s most people in Sønderjylland actually spoke both German and Danish. Sure there were some differences in loyalty; but so were there for Elsaß-Lothringen which actually wanted to be French despite speaking German. And you said that due to it being German speaking it should be with Germany, so by the same argument Prussia didn't liberate any part of Slesvig. Though of course the best solution is how it was done with the Copenhagen Bonn agreement in 1955.
Also even today there is a large minority on both sides of the border.
it says a lot that the motto of the bundesland is „Auf ewig ungeteilt“
And And that motto is clearly referring back to the Ribe letter of ~1460; so it doesn't really mean anything and just is a fun historical reference.
