so, you know the article I made on Scandinavian-American history on Kidznet (https://net.kidzsearch.com/the-history-of-scandinavian-americans-october-9th-special/) I said something wrong paranoid

so, I was on Wikipedia researching the Union between Norway-Sweden *ahem, Norden* for a school essay (we had to write about failed unions, and I chose Norway-Sweden)  when I came across this goofy piece of information

hmm Yes.  nutrition

I am not the best at Nutrition, yes I passed 6th grade Health class with a 98% grade, But from what I know, Sweden was bad with Nutrition.

Keep in mind this is in the 1800s. Norway and Sweden were one country. Also, can we just talk that there was a literal Famine that lasted 4 years in Norway-Sweden. You know what was one of the reasons they moved to America? Health reasons. And No, This isn't just because of a certian book series. if u know u know

Meanwhile Finland…. Finland had    W     A      R 

with who you ask? Norden and Russia

lets just say that the 1800s were pure chaos, Iceland and Sápmi were just vibing btw

simplified, 1800s Scandinavia was starvation, war and immigration

The selected text appears to be a portion of a discussion or article written by a 13-year old on Kidztalk, a website for kids. The author mentions that they made an article on Scandinavian-American history and realized they made a mistake. They were researching the failed union between Norway and Sweden for a school essay when they came across some interesting information. They mention a famine that lasted for four years in Norway-Sweden during the 1800s, which was one of the reasons why people from the region moved to America. They also briefly mention Finland's conflicts with both Norden (presumably referring to the Nordic countries) and Russia during the same period. The author concludes by mentioning that Iceland and Sápmi (the indigenous region of the Sámi people) were "vibing" during this chaotic period. Overall, the text seems to be a personal reflection on Scandinavian history by the author.

Considering there was a very good chance my ancestors were in Scandinavia in the 1800s, I wonder what happened to them.
by (906k points)
they either died from the terrible conditions or migrated to America.

Probably the 2nd option, if they didn't well you wouldnt be here.

It’s definitely not the 2nd option. My grandpa came to America in the 1970’s.
