@@yakutia159 what?? that's ridiculous Russia was not considered a colony of Sweden

[@RisumiesNewGen]

@@gustavoritter7321 It's kind of true, because russia was never strong enough to defeat sweden, the only problem with sweden was it's army capacity which was low since it didn't have a huge population like russia did, meaning russia could easily raise more soldiers while sweden would have to survive with one or two big armies it had.

[@jesuschrist9513]

It's amazing to think that in 1711 more of Europe was at war than in either WW1 or WW2. Literally only Venice, Genoa, Tuscany and Switzerland stayed neutral at that point in time.

Thorny McThornson Actually the Ottomans were not interested in a war against Russia even though Charles wanted them to, and the Russians invaded Romania to try to take Charles by themselves but their army was surrounded and they surrendered. So it was an Ottoman military victory but they didn’t make any other gains except the safe passage of Charles through Russia back to Sweden

Seven years War (1756-1763) was The War that gave the greatest in influence in most parts of the world,If you look around the world right now and consider the different categories that human beings consider most important. It decided which political, legal and economic systems would prevail in different parts of the world, e.g.: the Anglosphere and Commonwealth systems versus continental systems, which languages would end up being spoken where and which borders would shape each country around the world, due to the Brits and the French being the countries that would negotiate and draw lines in maps all over Africa and the Middle East and Asia, delineating a country's borders and even giving them a colonial name e.g. Iraq, or Nigeria *Even the wars after, up to the present day didn't change this general trend, which was decisively determined here.
