I never knew that Swedens History can be so exciting. In my class we are learning about Sweden’s ‘Stormaktstiden’. And it is pretty exciting. It was very sad what happened to Gustaf II Adolf or in English Gustavus Adolfus. Thirty years of war exactly. How can you fight for thirty years against your brothers? First the war was about religion. German Protestants against German Catholics (Holy Roman Empire). Then the French who were catholics went on the German Protestant side? And since Sweden in debt to France cus the helped with Älvsborglösen(when Sweden was bought Göteborg back from the Danish), Sweden was on the German Protestant too(Sweden was already Protastant). Then the Danish who are also Protestant went on the German Catholic side just because they didn’t want to fight with Sweden. But atleast Sweden had the most troops in there side cus in total is Spain with 300’000 and Sweden had only 150’000. And even Queen Christina fought. And I forgot Gustav was then on called the Lion of the North!!!
