    107 Colonialism
    May 9 2025

    In the 1600s, both Denmark and Sweden joined the race to establish colonies overseas. The Danes returned to Greenland, but also set up outposts in India. These colonial projects were quite successful. The Swedes, on the other hand, were less fortunate trying to gain a foothold in North America.

    106 Piety and Power

    In the early 18th century, Denmark was ruled by absolute monarchs, whose personalities left their marks on the country. When Frederik IV was young, he didn’t say no to anything life had to offer. In old age, he turned to religion, and demanded that the rest of Denmark do the same.

    105 End of the Line

    Karl XII had failed to get the Ottomans to ally with Sweden in the Great Northern War, but that didn’t mean he was willing to throw in the towel. As soon as he returned home, he decided to go back to fighting. This time, he had his sights on Sweden’s traditional enemy–Denmark.

On a subject full of nonsense and wishful thinking, the narrator does an excellent job of cutting through it and addresses it in most cases. Highly recommended for people who view history as a science.

Excellent

Similar to History of Rome and History of Byzantium podcasts. Narrative histories in the main, but also comparative examples and featurettes on culturally notable topics. Clear audio and immersive experience.

Well narrated and researched

Thank you, Mr. Shainkman, for providing such a fascinating podcast about a history hard to find, but near and dear to many American-Norwegians, as well as all American Scandinavians! I greatly appreciate the knowledge and expertise on the sagas, culture, religion (pagan & christian), landscape and history of the Scandinavian countries.

Love this podcast!

Being Icelandic, I'm somewhat familiar with many of the kings and characters. I think this podcast adds great details to my knowledge of Nordic history.

Really liked the depth of story/events
