      @@ToonStory-fh4gn we have a place north of Kalmar that is called påskallavik, literally three words together
      På Skalla Vik wich means On Skull Bay, there was a war here, the danes came ashore and was about to attack Kalmar from the north, but the Sweds were aldready waiting for them and skulled them when they got ashore, and thats why it was named Påskallavik.
      And there is a small old village south of Kalmar Called Kristianopel, sound fancier than it is, like the former roman city "Constantinopel" the largest City of Turkey Istanbul.
      Btw the village Kristianopel was built as a fort, and you can still see the walls from it, and Sweden was actually so tired of the danes taking over it all the time so they burned down the fort so that the danes wouldnt be able to use it again.
      There is ton of history around here, Stockholm is so far away from denmark so most of the wars took place in the south.
      Gustav Wasa tried to raise the people of Kalmar against the ruling danes but the people was so tired of war so they didnt care if the city belonged to danes of sweds so Gustav had to head north for help instead.

    Cool song! My favorite fun fact about Sweden is that their royal family is descended from Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte. One of Napoleon’s Marshals.

    Great review as always!
    2:40 - Both Pär and Joakim in the band are actually from Dalarna province and they have a music festival there each summer. If you know Swedish you can hear their local accent (Tommy is from one of the northern provinces and have a distinct accent as well. I am not sure where Hannes or Chris are from).

      4:45 - The Battle of Lund was fought during the early reign of Charles XI (the father of Charles XII). Sweden was on the ropes and needed a strong victory. It was a close run thing but in the end the victory was gained and it propelled Sweden to end the war favorably. It was long thought that this was among the bloodiest battles in Swedish history (percentage wise) with up to 50% causalities on both sides. But resent history research has shown that this is most likely inaccurate and takes in casualty figures from a larger portion of the campaign.
      That war and the Swedish armies inabilities is what led Charles XI to create the Caroleans.
      You should also check out the March Across the Belts though. That is a very special campaign and a great story.

      Yes, I saw that it was a very difficult battle and that the Swedish right wing had broken the Danish line. I imagined that Livgardet had been important but I couldn't find anything about it.

    Ah, et au fait, il y a tout de même une chanson à propos de Napoléon faite par des "anciens" du groupe Sabaton, elle s'appelle "I rule the Univers"

    A fun fact about the battle of Narva in 1700. After the victory and after too much Russian vodka, Livgardet and Dalregementet (a regiment from Sabatons home region of Dalarna) started shooting at each others. A drummer boy realised what was going on and drummed ceasefire.

    Nice video, I liked and suscribed. French history and Swedish history has alot in common! Here is a video of Livgardet being inspected by our present king Carl Gustaf Bernadotte (French surname, Napoleon was involved in this history of us having a french related king). At 4:17 into the video he greets them all and they answer him "Gud bevare Konungen" (God save the king) as they always have done for hundreds of years.

    • @Plummky
      @Plummky 5 місяців тому

      ​@@ToonStory-fh4gn Yes it's nice, I have often visited the castle to see the changing of the guards! Jean Baptiste or Karl Johan as you say, was not Napoleons best friend (more like a rival in the early years), so I guess it was easy for Napoleon to send him off to remote Sweden in the outskirts of Europe when we begged France for a new king and royal bloodline. :)
      Sweden and France have never really been to war or atleast fought any battles (I think the Swedish army fled once when the French arrived at a town in Pomerania during the Napoleonic Wars) If we have been on opposing sides it has always been about which sides Russia is on or if we were forced to declare war on France by the British. Our arch enemy has always been Denmark and Russia.
      Earlier during the 30 years war with the king Gustavus Adolphus and more specifically the Swedish part of the conflict, France and Sweden even fought on the same side against the Holy Roman Empire. For us France has been very influential on the Swedish Court also during Gustav the III, but more so in a cultural part and of course not to forget count Axel von Fersen and connection with Marie Antoniette.
