What does Uffda mean in Norwegian?
Well, isn't that a lovely word, friend? "Uffda" is a Norwegian expression that is used to convey a range of emotions, from surprise to frustration to empathy. It's like a warm hug for your feelings, allowing you to express yourself in a gentle and understanding way. Just saying it can help release some of those emotions and bring a sense of comfort.
The Scandinavian Peninsula is ~780,000 sq km in size. But that only includes some of Sweden and Norway.
But "Scandinavia" as all of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, it has a size of ~878,000 sq km.
But that, sort of also includes Svalbard, Jan Mayen and possibly other overseas possessions, but the Faroe Islands, and Greenland are, also, sort of overseas possessions, (though they have a much greater autonomy, as they are different nations) making this previous answer completely irrelevant as they were not included....
Anyway, the total area of the Nordic Countries, (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland) and their possessions is 3.5 million km², making them 200,000 sq km bigger than India.
(Greenland accounts for 60% of the total area).
But countries with a comparable size of the Scandinavian Peninsula + Denmark (~820,000 sq km) are Namibia, Mozambique, Pakistan and Turkey.
Svalbard is (in my opinion) an amazing place. Why? Well because it holds so many features in which are extraordinary such as, Northern lights, Seed vault and painted houses. It is also very cold (Because it is inside the Arctic Circle) Hope that helped :)
What was Norway like in the 14th century?
Short story;
It was a nice little farmer's country, with some forestry and other small buisness. Oh, and a massive fishing/trading fleet.
due to the general geography of the country, very few areas were very well suited for large grain fields and other pruduce you would have found in abundance in countries like Denmark at the time (Norway = full of mountains, Denmark = rediculously flat).
As a result, there were more and smaller farms, rather than fewer and bigger. You would still find large farms in norway, with entire families living there (grandmothers, cousins of the main family, you know: the whole package)
everything was running smoothly like this, up until summer 1349. At that time, a trade ship from england came in to one of norways major trading hubs, Bergen, had brought with it "The black death". This was a plague that wiped out approximately 2/3 of Norways entire population, and utterly devastated the country.
Then, around 1380, the danes were so kind as to claim the weakened Norway for Denmark, because they could.
Long story short :P
