I have been focused a lot lately on this topic but I am still confused as to how they are different. I am not talking about Land or Countries. I am talking about Genetics and people..
My haplogroup has been confusing me aswell. It can be said if you are R1a and live in the UK you most likely have 'Norse' blood. What were Vikings? Nordic or Germanic?

Vikings were Nordics, with mostly I1 and R1b. I would argue you could be a nordic with some slavic background, but more likely your R1a comes from celts.

Nope, the celtic haplogroup is r1b, the r1a marker is slavic.

I Know this, and it is why I also said "nordic with slavic influence". However, some people on this forum claim celts actually migrated to the east, and were also carriers of R1a... The current picture makes the first theory more likely though.

It could be the result of swedish or norwegian vikings bringing slavic thrals (slaves) with them when they came to britain. Alternatively it could be an eastern strain from the saxons that invaded after the roman collapse.

Lombards who live in Italy came from Scandinavia

French people are from Scandinavia

Spaniard people namely Visigoths are from Eastern Europe and before that Scandinavia

etc...

All Germans are from Scandinavia

Germanic people ARE Nordic people it's just that they got some tanned color due mixing with foreigners.

they are Celto-Germanic mixed at best, but still paternally Nordic.

"Mixing with foreigners", you mean native people they invaded.
