Those Scandinavian countries fought with eachother for centuries.

I find it really weird when Danish suddenly pretend Norwegians are their long lost brothers.

Sweden and Denmark fought for centuries. Sometimes over Norway, sometimes over other areas, mostly over petty squabbles.

This is not a thing that affect current relations between the countries in any way, and hasn’t since Norway’s (deserved) independence. Don’t make the mistake of confusing sibling banter with international relations.
