It might be that by the time the normans started going there they weren't really under Denmark anymore.
EDIT: Oh and Domen, compare this map with a modern one to see what Sweden has conquered from Norway

You're correct
Also, green arrows are "viking attacks", and red lines are "the vikings' trade routes"

The black dotted line seems to be the border of the HRE, but from the 1200s - so few centuries too late for this map.
I really doubt that the longboats from the Black Sea made it anywhere near Constantinople. Iirc they were burned up in the Crimean coast

Interesting seeing the changes over the years. It seems the current patterns emerged from the 90s. Only 90s kids remember

Democratic-Republican. If they only stuck together.

From what I remember the parties flipped at one point too. The Republicans became the Democrats and vice versa.
And now they're pretty much the same.
But maybe an American can correct me, if I got the above wrong. I'm pretty sure something like that happened.

From what I remember the parties flipped at one point too. The Republicans became the Democrats and vice versa.
And now they're pretty much the same.
Both parties originally had both conservative and liberal wings, and while they weren't the "same" as sometimes their bases of support varied from time to time, there were some common threads - for instance folks from the Confederate Deep South were generally Democrats before Nixon and the GOP adopted the southern strategy. In fact even nowadays you can see remnants of these conservative Dems in local politics, and even in a more likited extent in national politics - Gore's father, Gore Sr, was a prominent conservative democrat. Meanwhile, th GOPs liberal/moderate wing was based mainly in the northeast, and were nicknamed Rockefeller Republicans since Nelson Rockefeller was one of their most prominent members. It ultimately looks like a flip now but it's more that historically they just had different interests and bases of support.
So I wouldn't say they've flipped so much as they both just chose to lurch to different sides. In American terms, of course. I suppose for all you Euro-Canadians the American parties look the same, but there are differences.
