The Great Northern War: Every Fortnight 

Britain with the italian tactics

You know something is terribly wrong when Russia and Poland fight on the same side.

lol Denmark just left the war when it went downhill and then joined again when Russia was winning their front

Also, *embarassing cough* please pay no attention to the horrible mistake of me forgetting to show the UK as united between 1707 and 1716. Just pretend it's before 1801 so for some reason it doesn't count? Eh, I got nothing. I goofed. XD

Wait, an european war without France in it ? Wow

Poor Sweden got attacked from all sides. This thus ended the legacy of the great Swedish empire, so little known outside of Scandinavia.

Argh, I turned up late. Anyway, you did really well on this one :)

Fantastic work as usual!

Peter the Great started building St. Petersburg on Swedish territory before the war was even close to over.

Mistake detected. Before the Russian-Ottoman War, Azov should've been Russian Province. It has been ceded to Ottomans after the War.

1705: Charles XII leg was injured. During battle of Poltava, 25 men carried Charles but 3 remained as guns fired. Then, Charles collapsed but Swedes protected the king. One cavalry man saved Charles by dismounting his horse and leaving himself behind. The one who save Charles was a hero to Charles. Then he died at the end of this war.

Great Northern War actually the coolest sounding name thought of for any war ever

It's insane to think this was concurrent with the War of Spanish Succession. This, the War of Austrian Succession, and the Seven Years' War. Europe was into wars during the 18th century.

As a Swede this is kinda sad to watch. :/

Carolus Rex(or any other song in that album) would be the perfect music to play over this.

Typical Britain rofl

Brilliant historical work (as always), EmperorTigerstar ;) Thank you for all your constant, excellent videos :) !

That's a long war

Why did you put Sweden in red? You've said before that you colour the attacker red and the defender blue, but Sweden was the one being attacked...

Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus...

2:02 Denmark-Norway:I'm back guys

You have to admit surviving all of those attacks were pretty brave.

Russia, the ultimate comeback kid.

Dreams are seldom shattered, by a bullet in the dark Rulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart? Who shall we now turn to, when our leaders lost their heart? Lives are lost but at what cost, will the grand dream fall apart? Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide Three hundreds years still no one knows, the secret remains Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chest Years of war and agony, now the king can finally rest What will be uncovered, from that cold November night Fredrikshald, what happened there, will it ever come to light? Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide Three hundreds years still no one knows, the secret remains Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex

Everybody always talking about how France and Germany failed to capture Moscow, when there was a third country that also came close

Nice Video!

Denmark was pissed over recent losses to Sweden, Poland-Lithuania craved parts of the baltics from Sweden and Russia with it's genious leader wanted a port to the baltic sea to act as a 'window to the west', this was the reason for the coalition against Sweden. And to think Sweden brought Denmark to it's knees, they puppeted Poland after several years of war and they crushed the Russian main army in one battle and Peter The Great wanted peace and give great concessions to Sweden. This is where the war should have ended, but Carolus Rex wanted blood he wanted to beat Russia so bad that they never could come back.. and we know what happened after that.

awsome video

As a Turk, I wish we had helped Sweden more. It's sad to see all these countries ganging up on them. Huge respect to Carolus Rex and his army.

When Pewdiepie has more subs than Anti-Swedish Coalition , Sweden and his Allies have people combined.

Sweden was attacked on all fronts and yet still it took 20 years to defeat them. My respect towards this country!

3:23 see i pulled a little italy on ya

Good work!

awesome!

1:12 _Swedish Troops arrive at the Silesian Border_ Saxony : Oh no,Sweden is Coming!

This soo cool! I'm very proud of my old anestor who was a part of Armfelts caroleans! Also known as the death march of the caroleans. His foot were frozen as ice and when he camed home Sweden was in depth and he wasn't paid by the goverment. He lived with his family until his death. Man I don't know anything else about him either that he was a part of the Swedish kavalery. Man, imagine all the stories.

My question is though, why isn't Sweden blue lol. Norways national flags are mostly red like Denmarks while Sweden and i think Finlands are blue! Anyway awesome work Emperor Tigerstar!

3:20 *Record Scratch* *Freeze Frame* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.

Excellent video. However I would've like at least a mention of the battle of Narva, considering the roaring victory it was for us.

The Ottomans be like: 2:16 STOP, you violated the l.. 2:22 *Gets punched at* 2:24 Fuck it, not worth it

good god, how do you crank so many of these out with such detail using only Paint? I thought you had some program or something, but I guess not. That's insane.

Great

Poltava, Swedish Soldiers gave their lives in vain, *Poltavaaaaaaaaaaaa* Swedish Soldiers met their bane, _Poltava_ King Carlous had to leave command, _POLLTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVAAAAAAAAAAA*

Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus!

Can you do one of these on the Boshin War?

Nice video, but no Bulavin rebellion in the Cossack hetmanate?

Ironically, Peter the Great did not know, when he declared war on Sweden on August 19, 1700, that on that same day, Denmark stopped fighting

Poor Sweden!

make something about the 80 years of war between Spain and the Netherlands :) pls

Population in January 1700 : Russia : 18.000.000 Poland-Lithuania : 8.000.000 Prussia : 1.650.000 Denmark-Norway : 1.400.000 Saxony : 1.000.000 Hannover : 750.000 30.800.000 - Sweden : 2.030.000 Swedish-Pomeranian : 70.000 2.100.000

nice

Aldrig,aldriiiig,aldrig atervenda!

Russia now owes Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 15 favors.

ah treaty of "new town" literally translated name of that town where peace treaty happened. Gotta say that is some great name for 400 years old town

Tallinn, Pärnu and Riga only surrendered in 1710, not in 1709 as you showed.

+EmperorTigerstar What do you use to alt map and map?

How many enemies do you want to face? Sweden: Yes

What program is used to make these videos?

Hey emperortigerstar can you please do Vietnam war I'm very interested

Can you do the dutch revolt. That would be awesome for dutch people.

This war changed the course of History

Please do a feudal Japan map time lapse

Can we get an F for Sweden... They were doing so well

i feel like norway missed a good chance to gain some ground here. the russians were in finland, the swedish had to put men on both fronts, all the norwegians had to do was gather up a small army and march down to oslo, but they kinda just sat there for a while and then the war ended.

Long live Carolus Rex

1:57: "We were at the verge of greatness, we were this close."

I would say "make a Switzerland timeline for April Fools, but it did do some expanding at some points, and France are into it during Napoleon times.

Perfidious Albion...

Dammit, now I want to play eu4

i didn’t go into the comment section yet but i’m predicting fortnite puns

Russia won sweden, that shows how Peter influenced on russian army, earlier rulers wasn't focusing on army. Peter made the regular army

nice but you could have added one of those songs sabaton ruina imperii sabaton carolus rex sabaton poltava

And at last, the brutal forces of Börk were finally defeated.

Sweden: Finally I dealt with poland and can charge to moscow from ukra- *Peter the Great and reformed russian army* : let us introduce ourselves

I dont really Understand how People at That Big Countries at that Time could Communicate with Each Together at That Big Distances

> Makes allience with Sweden > Sweden attacks a few months later

Denmark being the Italy of the north over here

The last war where Sweden was a hard hitter. It all came crashing down after Poltava, and was sealed with Carolus Rex's random death.

Charles XII

Charles XII was one hell of a man..

Music name?

Well this war started exactly in the year 1700. I havent watched the video yet and I just know it will end in 1721

*Sweden stabs Russia at Narva* Russia: you should’ve gone for the head *poltava* Sweden ceases to be a great power...and loses nyskåns

Dam it fortnight!

Back when my country wasn't a fucking meme! ;(

what the hell was britain doing

Can someone please tell me name of the music?

what a chad😔

What was that red blinking on and off rapidly after just a skirmish?

Lets make Sweden great again!

Song please

Thicc Sweden against angry european bois

Still wondet how you find data so specific and precies to make a video like this, surely some things are the guessing game... Like I'm aware you know where and when battles were but still...

EmperorTigerstan, does video Vietnam war ?

PewDiePie and T-- wait thats a dumb reference

The Danes suck at military after 16:th century, could not recuperate Skåneland even though Sweden was engaged on a multiple fronts and this for several attempts

Should’ve headed directly for Moscow after the victory at Narva.

2:26 who the hell was that the Ottamans?

Wasnt fortress of Azov Russian between 1700-1710?

don't you usually show the aggressors as red and the defenders as blue? why is sweden red? they were invaded not invading.
