Scandinavia was Christianized and those who refused the new religion were simply killed. The crusades were very effective. So any brave and proud men in these generations were simply eradicated.
Hence these European countries are now nothing but disarmed social experiments, with no protests or say what so ever from the population.
They don't even ask the people when making changing to their constitution, it's simply decided by a parliament what is best for the populous. Try pull that on shit on Americans..
