Norway & not having re-recognized Estonia's independence
|| It's something anyone who has looked into Estonia and Nordic relations may have noticed, there is nothing about Norway having ever re-recognized Estonia's independence in the 90's
And I've actually seen some people touch upon this, and interpret it as evidence that Norway has dislike for Estonia. Even seen that reason to be brought up to be because Norway is still pissed about what happened to King Olaf Tryggvason. When Tryggvason was a small boy and escaping towards Novgorod with his mother at approaching end of the 10th century, they got interfered and kidnapped by Estonian Vikings who took the prince into slavery, only later did he get back his freedom bought back when his uncle stumbled upon him in the slave market.
Of course Norway has a right to be pissed about that, but that was over a thousand years ago. And if Norway were to really hate someone for life from that already then how many people would Norway dislike?
Besides, I feel like people miss something that makes them misunderstand Norway not re-recognizing Estonia.
First off, Norway never recognized Estonia as annexed by the Soviet Union.
This is something countless western countries did, they continued viewing Estonia as their own country and viewing the Soviet Union takeover as an illegal occupation. They would continue the functions of honorary consultants and so on, Norway too.
When Estonia regained independence Norway restored Diplomatic relations on August 27th 1991 (before even Finland) which i'd view as much more important for countries especially moving forward.
In April 1992, Norway even sent a truck load of things to Estonia to donate to people and help with the recovery of what the Soviet Union did. Just because he can. This means a lot considering what a struggle it was at first for everyone, so having someone help is very important.
Here is the video by the way of Norway doing just that
Although I have nothing to prove this, I believe that the reason Norway didn't re-recognize Estonia's independence is simply because it was not necessary.
They never saw Estonia as annexed, they simply had diplomatic relations get severed because Russia invaded. Norway's recognization of Estonia on February 5th 1921 still applies. (Its even right at the top written in bold when you look up Norway - Estonia relations.)
Heck it's nice that Norway did that, because it's acknowledging that Estonia is not a new country, Estonia is continuing what he was doing before WWII, he's still Estonia. What happened on the past is in the past. ||

Good morning everyone! It's been a while! School managed to keep me under a rock for the past few weeks, but I'm back! Getting ready to go to Colorado for some much needed mountain/nature time. Trying to decide what to take with me for my trip. I love my tablet, but there's nothing like the feeling of the pages of books. Happy Wednesday! #book #bookstack #bookstagram #bookish #bookishfeatures #favorites #roadtrip #colorado #reading #studentlife #norest #timetoread #books #yafiction #ya #realmofruins #givethedarkmylove #thebrilliantdeath https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmf_uERlUR-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d8cndjejevb3
First Impressions of Thailand
So yesterday I moved to Thailand.. It was the first time I have ever been out of the country and probably one of the craziest stunts I have ever pulled. My thoughts are as follows:
1. The billboards are massive.
2. I am the minority.
3. Cab drivers/taxis/public transportation are scarier than the Rock N’ Rollercoaster at Disney World.
4. Everything is so damn cheap! Taxation in America is ridiculous.
5. Yes, there is a Starbucks one block from my hotel.
6. I will never be fashionable or as thin as the girls here.
7. “Asian” food in America is just American food.
8. The beds are really hard.
9. Jet lag is no joke.
10. It is possible to get lost inside the mall.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s adventures.
