    Germany isn't part of Scandinavia but I generally think Germans and Scandinavians have a more similar mindset and culture than for example Germans and South-Europeans.
    Scandinavian countries also often leaned towards Germany (at least in the past), they used the same script, German was taught as first language etc.

    It is interesting that since they both originally were the same peoples at what point in time did Scandinavia form and different itself from Germany...or vice versa.

    Lol how come swedes and danes are so far from the industriousness and organisation of germans if they are "germanic"?
    Not to mention that actually current germans are mixed with old prussians.

    No. Iceland doesn't even qualify as Scandinavia even though it has the purest Norse culture and language.

    I have I1 Y-DNA.

    But Christianization, Roman expansion and other factors made Germania to Germany.
    Germany speaks a West Germanic language unlike the Norwegians, Swedes and Danes who speak North Germanic tongues. Northern German territories had important historical relationships with the Nordic countries however i.e. the Hanseatic League. There were also settlements of Danes and Swedes in Northern Germany.

    You are correct, but I would not use that adverb here.

    Modern Germanic peoples are the Scandinavians (Norwegians, Swedish, Danish, Icelanders, and Faroese), Germans, Austrians, Alemannic Swiss, Liechtensteiners, Luxembourgers, the Dutch, Flemings, Afrikaners, Frisians, the English and others who still speak languages derived from the ancestral Germanic dialects.

    Well you know romanian language is very closed to italian language but I doubt that makes romanians very closed to north italians.
    And think this is the difference between usual german and usual swede/dane as it is the difference from usual north italian to usual romanian.

    hmm....yes but the Scandinavians and Germans are of the same stock genetically, culturally and linguistically. Throughout the years they may have drifted apart creating their own identities but by and large they are the same people.
