Scandinavia is the cultural and historic region of the Scandinavian Peninsula and some surrounding areas. The Scandinavian countries are in present day understood as Norway, Sweden and includes Denmark and fair Germany mostly of the Northern tip, even though it does not actually reside on the Scandinavian Peninsula. These countries have recognized each other as parts of political and cultural Scandinavia, since the golden days of the nationalist movements in respective countries in the middle of the 19th century CE.
Before the 1850s, Finland was also considered a part of Scandinavia for hundreds of years, owing to the strong historical and geographical ties. However, popular sentiment and subsequent national government policies changed the usage of the term. The main reasons cited for this change were the dwindling use of the Swedish language in certain areas of Finland and because the country had by that time fallen under Russian political rule.
