I just remember it was probably somewhere between 1550 ~ 1650 and could have been due to the 30 years war. But by anyeffort I wasn't able to look it up for you. if you find something I'd be glad you would share it with me. | |

| Jul 13, 2016 at 11:37 | comment | added | Troels Larsen | @Zaibis: Out of curiosity - what are you referencing when you talk about drowning knights? It sounds like an interesting story, but not one I've heard. In regards to naughty or nice, it is certainly subjective. Compared to Vlad the Impaler, I am 'nice', but compared to Nicolas Cage, I'll be getting coal in my stockings. Unfortunately, the only authority on niceness only has rules regarding children. And even there there are some controversy regarding his location. Canadians think (incorrectly) that we resides on the North Pole, while all Danes know we lives on Greenland. | |
| Jul 13, 2016 at 11:19 | comment | added | Zaibis | @Mast: Well, my point was more about, just beeing in one thing nice isn't what makes a country becoming nice. I would even bet I could dig up something nice about syrias army, but would that make syria a country representative of fair and modern warfare? I doubt so. | |
| Jul 13, 2016 at 10:39 | comment | added | Mast | @Zaibis Most countries have some ugly things in their past. That usually doesn't hinder them from becoming 'nice' countries later on. | |
| Jul 13, 2016 at 9:25 | comment | added | Zaibis | I'd rather be skeptic about the nice country claim. denmark aswell has a pretty ugly history about ways to fight, like drowning knights in their heavy armors by breaking dams. | |

| Jul 13, 2016 at 4:25 | comment | added | PC Luddite | Neither country has anything to gain by asserting its claim on a small uninhabited island in the arctic using military force. It'll just waste time, money, and other resources as well as severely weaken their relationship. Really no good would come from it other than a large mound of dirt. | |
