Scania
The Scanian history in a nutshell The Present Time
From 1990 into the 21st Century
The Scanian people, in general, is presently unaware of their own
historical background. The history of the central region in
Sweden is presented as if it also is the history of Scania. Swedish
kings, who never reigned in Scania, are glorified. Monuments to
honour Scania's conquerors have been erected in many places and
are still present on the Scanian streets and squares. Cultural objects
in large numbers have been moved to Stockholm.
However, more and more Scanians are beginning to awake and see
the necessity of re-establishing their own culture and
regaining their own Scanian identity. A growing dissatisfaction
with the dominance of Stockholm is present. In Scania, decentralisation
or regionalisation is becoming more and more recognised as advantageous
to both Scania, Sweden and the entire Scandinavia.
