I wasn't offended. It wasn't you who got me started really.

I wonder if Greenland was a danish colony then already. I don't think what today is Estonia was scandinavian (Swedish) during the dark ages. And Russia, no. Norwegian and Danish vikings took territories on Britain though, but I'm unsure when.

And I thought I'd clear things up.
Scandinavia gets it's names from the Scands the mountains that makes the border between Sweden and Norway.
Denmark is a part often seen as a part of Scandinavia as the people there have a lot in common with us. The same goes of course for the people in Finland.

Denmark actually is an extension of the mountains, even if it goes underground, so purely geographical they are a part of it. And ethnically they are closed to Norway and Sweden than Finland is. I say Denmark is a part of Scandinavia and Finland isn't.
