History of Scandinavia in Timeline
Scandinavia is a Northern European subregion with deep-rooted historical, cultural, and linguistic connections. It traditionally comprises Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and sometimes includes the Scandinavian Peninsula. In some contexts, the term is used interchangeably with the Nordic countries. Iceland and the Faroe Islands are occasionally included because of their ethnolinguistic ties to the mainland Scandinavian nations. Although Finland's linguistic background differs, it is sometimes considered Scandinavian due to its economic and cultural similarities with the other Nordic countries.
