Scandinavia includes Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. These countries have dominated Northern Europe throughout history, and have conquered Iceland and Finland in addition to other lands. They've spread their Scandinavian culture, languages, etc. to these lands, which is why Finland and Iceland are sometimes included in Scandinavia, but rarely. The term 'Nordic' refers to all five of these countries.

Northern Europe most commonly includes these five countries.
