Because if you are thinking of some "Roman" genetic component (whatever "Roman" may mean to you here), I don't see how one or two trading outposts could justify such a bizarre claim.

"Belonging" means just what it reads: "to belong to". A "sense of belonging" means that there is some common identity to which one feels related. Nothing to do with any "diaspora" or "colonialism".

belonging:

Main Entry: be·long·ing
Pronunciation: \-ˈlo˙ŋ-iŋ\
Function:
noun
Date:
1782

1 : possession —usually used in plural
2 : close or intimate relationship <a sense of belonging>

— be·long·ing·ness noun

Definition of belonging - Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary


You don't make sense. As usual.

For your information, there is a large Swedish diaspora which in terms of percentage of population it is larger than many others. I'm surprised that you ignore the recent history of your country.

You could start by searching a little information on the internet. Here is some help: "swedish diaspora" - Google Search

And for your information too, there is no such thing as a Spanish diaspora. In the context of the territories of Imperial Spain (not "Colonial", which is a different concept to that of "Imperial") you don't find the settlement pattern that you find in Oceania or in North America where, by the way, Nordic populations were used as part of the colonial settlement policies there.

But in case you wanted to argue that that was not Scandinavia's business, one early colonialist policy of settlements before that period was made effective by Scandinavians in Greenland.


Myndd you have to know something definition in the dictionary is not the same as scentific explanation. Example national identity you can find several thousand of hits on the google, but what does national identity means in the theoretical fame work in the academic field ?
Do some research on it, Not just not your favorite google. And again your'e wrong '' Belonging''in the theorical framework in the academic field say '' You're longing to be home ''to your country'' or home'' of orign, this is when I refers to the Jews, I called it Diaspora because they didn't have a home, and the word Diaspora originated from Jews, but then theses days everything is disapore, I'm not ignorant about my history perhaps you, There is no Swedish Diaspora' because Sweden is our home never been colonized Swedish are not immigrants in their own country , we don't need to belong to our orgin, its just a manipulation of language. And I refers to Spanish cos they're Spanish even in Latin America spreading their roots which is used as a diasporic terms. Please stop using your google definition. Yes diaspora is addrssed in the theorical framework of post-colonial, belonging returning home. You won't able to find all these in just google, I will send you some links so you understand relationship.
