Discussing History in an Interview

[Aquarians]

So I'll have an interview with a Swedish manager.

That's a first for me interacting with that part of Europe.

I know very little of them apart from the jokes these Norwegian guys make on them:

Do you think it would be wise to bring it in the interview? History I mean.

I do read history for entertainment but apart from Great Britain, I haven't looked much into other dynasty lineages. UK is simple, since some 1500 years it's one king after another. A crude, brutal law of primogeniture which ensured history is easy to read When I switched to France it was all hell getting loose. As many kids as many partitions of the country. Gave up pretty fast

And as of now Europe has 20+ partitions, each with it's innumerable divisions and fights and internals funk whats.

Still I wanna visit Sweden. Reckon a software job might get me some visiting of a few interesting countries apart from Netherlands which I already visited repeatedly

So do you think it's OKay to bring history into discussion when all I know about these Northern countries is:

- Sweden: they fought Russia at some point. (What were they thinking?!!)
- Denmark: they fought Prussia (Germany) at some point. (What were they thinking?!!)
- Norway: they fought Britain at some point. Turned pretty good for both of them.

How's my history class knowledge?

Please don’t forget the odd queen here and there. Plus the interregnum (however brief). But basically, yeah.

And to slide it silently here, a question for @KCalhoun

I look a lot more like Vladimir Putin than James Dean (think a combination of Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger) but this doesn't seem to impact my chances on top girls. If you ever watched Russian porn then moved to top Hungarian and Czech, those are the girls that give me their phone number.

How would you handle that?

@Baron: please delete this post.
