Today it is 349 years since the Battle of Lund between the Danish and Swedish armies. The largest and bloodiest battle in Scandinavian history, which decided Scania’s fate to become Swedish instead of Danish. The memorial monument in Lund calls for peace and brotherhood between Danes and Swedes.

What kind of Swede sympathiser would advocate for peace?
There can never be peace. Only war
History is long. Sweden is just a temporary thing, in time the natural order with Denmark in control will return.
Peace? I don’t know. We recently fucked up Sweden with secret agent Jon Dahl Tomasson.
One day it all will be danish again
For now Sweden can enjoy their freedom. For now.
**DANMARK ØDELÆGGER ALLE**
Not the largest battle in Scandinavian history, as that was the Battle of Isted (1850).
I got(h) a suggestion for the Swedes..
You get Bornholm
We get Skånelandende (Skåne Halland and Blekinge) and everyone celebrate with kjöttbullar and Carlsberg
(And, liqurice for dessert)
It is a little bit funny to erect a monument to peace, right after wrapping up the, at least by modern standards, genocide and cultural assimilation.
Bans on Danish books and the Danish language in Scania weren’t lifted till 1857. So when this monument was erected in 1876, the forced cultural assimilation was still within living memory.
But the sentiment is nice, it’s cool that we can be so close nowadays despite how bitter rivals we were.
So cringe Denmark lost to a king wearing a [fedora](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lund#/media/File%3AHatt_buren_av_Karl_XI_vid_slaget_vid_Lund_-_Livrustkammaren_-_5238.tif) to battle.
Giv mig min Skåne tilbage, røv!
Thank god we didn’t have to share name with those stankies. dodged a bullet that time
Peace with Sweden? Ha! Gaaaaaayyyyy
This so-called monument shall soon be replaced with a proper Lego structure signifying our divine superiority. Your puny moose shall tremble at the sound of our diesel trains!
There is peace for one reason only; there is no majority for continuing the war. Otherwise we would stand knee high in blood.
Never! I kan beholde skåne.. Zlatan er dansk!
This is some distorted revisionist history by swedish “scholars”

well played, denmark
Narzismus der kleinen Unterschiede.
We will have peace, when you and all your works have perished–and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, and a corrupter a men’s hearts. You hold out your hand it to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Stockholm. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just–as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired–even so, what will you say of your torches in Scania and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Arensdorf’s body before the gates of the Lund, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Stockholm. So much for the house of Oldenburg. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.”
