Scandinavia is a fascinating region of the world! For one, it’s usually considered to be the happiest with each of its respective countries
often topping the global happiness list. But also, there’s not that many Scandinavians relative to its size! In fact, the entire region has less than
1/4th the population of Germany. What’s even more interesting, though, is that within Scandinavia, Sweden has about twice the
population as its three siblings: Denmark, Finland, and Norway. So how did Sweden grow so much larger if it shares pretty much the same geographic region? In this video, we’ll cover the incredible

independent and how they have been linked throughout time, and, finally, how Sweden managed to grow so much larger in population.
