I mean Finland is right next to Sweden and northernmost Finland also borders Norway.
Also Finland is connected to Sweden and Norway.
So it would make logical sense for Finland to be Scandinavia.
Yet it isn't.
Denmark on the other hand isn't even connected to Sweden or Norway.
You have to cross miles of sea to get from Denmark to Sweden.
It makes no logical sense for Denmark to be considered Scandinavia.
It would make much more sense for Denmark to be considered a Germanic country than a Scandinavian country.
Especially since Denmark is connected to Germany and like I said you have to cross miles of sea just to get from Denmark to Sweden.
Yet Denmark is somehow considered a Scandinavian country while Finland isn't.
Makes absolutely no sense.

Finnish people also look a lot more like Swedes and Norwegians than Danes do.
Finland has just as many blue eyed blondes as Sweden and Norway whereas Denmark has considerably less blue eyed blondes than Sweden, Norway or Finland.

Finland's geography and climate are also a lot more similar to Sweden and Norway than Denmark's is.

So why the fuck is Denmark considered Scandinavia but Finland isn't?
It makes absolutely no sense.
Even Estonia would make more sense to consider a Scandinavian country than Denmark.
