So I've talked a lot about Sweden on this channel. As a matter of fact, I have done like 15 videos at least
around the country itself
I've talked about how great the country is in terms of its power and have talked about at least five videos of unique facts about
It as well
I've also done a lot of videos about military divisions have talked about you know
The Navy the Air Force even the SAB grip and it's Saab Gripen itself, but recently here on the channel
I did a poll to ask you guys what of the three different types of content that you guys wanted to see and a lot
Of you guys were really interested in the battles around the particular countries that we talked about
so with that we're gonna kind of slide into and we're gonna look at the top 10 battles that
Sweden was a part of by the way guys
My name is Dave Walpole and before I get into this video
I just want to let you guys know that this is continuing to add to our Sweden playlist
I'm gonna put it throughout the video
So keep an eye out for the cards
Cells gonna be in the description box below and at the end of the video as well
so
You know
We can wait till that
And over all of you, just like what we're doing and you want more videos around this topic just hit that like button
So I know you guys want them now within that we're gonna dive into the top 10 that I chose now for me
I didn't just pick casualties. I also picked how Wars influenced the world around them
And also how it changed Sweden as a whole and it started all off when we look at these particular conflicts
I just got to say Sweden has been in at least 51 wars now
Keep in mind that is a rough estimate and that is throughout. It's a majority of its history
I should say and as a matter of fact the last offensive war that Sweden ever took part of was in 1814 and
Unfortunately when I say 51
I know there's a lot more than that because for example during the Viking period there's just not a lot of information during that time
But with that let's take a look at the first one and that is the Swedish Crusades to Finland
What makes this one really interesting now?
It's not really just one more because there were actually three Crusades to Finland that Sweden
you know took part in the first one happened somewhere between
1150 ad and the second one was 1249 to 1250 ad while the third one happened in
1293 now with the first one. There's really not a lot of data on this at all
As a matter of fact, it's more or less a myth than anything else
but however
it is suggested that this was the first time that the Swedes attempted to convert the pagan finns into
christianity this of course is linked to the myth of
erich of sweden who apparently led the conquer and of course when finns refused they fought them with swords and as for the second that
Happened in the mid of the 13th century. Of course. It is also very debatable as it was Sweden against the tavastia
--nz which were basically a people within Finland the third one was Sweden against the karelians
Which again was another group of people within Finland?
This one of course is very famous because it's part of the eric chronicle
which is the oldest chronicle from sweden and they stated that within the Third Crusade they managed to take fourteen hundreds of
Corellia don't ask me what that actually means from my understanding a hundredth is a section of land
It's not actually specific as to what it meant. It could be, you know, a hundred fourteen hundred sections of hay
1,400 fields. It's not quite on the nose of accuracy
Number two is skipping over a lot of the conflicts that happened within the 15th century. You got a good old-fashioned day
No, swedish wars. These ones were nuts
And I mean literally how do I sum these up? Because a lot of conflicts had Sweden versus
The Danish and Norway was insane
They basically hated each other and use that the Russians and the Americans were bad enough
These guys were like boom and sidenote
they say that there is at least 11 wars in history between these two nations and that is just kind of
spitballing it because some people say there was actually 1314 or even more now these happened between the years of
1472 at least the 1830s and with these major ones the first major day
no, swedish war was from fourteen seventy to seventy one with the second one happening in 1501 to 1512 and again in
1657 to
1660 and a fourth one in 1808 to 8th 9 there were many different reasons why these Wars happened in the first place?
For example in the last one in 1808 you had Denmark and Norway
That were allied with France and you had Sweden that was allied with the UK
and of course that created a lot of problems out of the Napoleonic war also within this there was number 3
Which was the torstenson war which happened from?
1643 to
1645 in which Denmark and Sweden ended up signing the second Treaty of Broome Saburo in which Denmark lost its territories
But tried to gain it back in the 3rd day. No swedish war in
1657 and they chose this particular time to do this because sweden was preoccupied with dealing with a conflict in Poland
Of course
there was a lot of victories and losses for
Sweden throughout the entire conflicts with Denmark and the country
But of course this brings us up to number 4 the 30 Years War the 30 Years War was one of the biggest and this
Actually considered one of the most destructive wars in human history. It happened in between the years of
1618 and 1648 and pretty much it's like the world war 2 of that era
It was huge on one side. You had Sweden the Dutch
And yes, Denmark and Norway along with France, England Saxony, Transylvania
and they were basically called the anti hospira countries or
States and they were against obviously the hasp arrghh states which were Austria the Holy Roman Empire
And yes, even Denmark and Norway fought against Sweden during that time which was stated earlier
And that was the Torstensson war now the reason they called us one of the most deadliest
Conflicts is because during that time there was 8 million people
Gone off the earth of course of that. They say 94 percent of those people were from the Imperial
Hospital of it. All Sweden had contributed
149 thousand troops in which they say about a hundred and ten thousand them lost their lives
So yeah big blow to Sweden number 5 ok
So here's an interesting one, although yes
I probably should mention the Kalmar war one downside is it's another war that Denmark and Sweden fought each other
But did you know that for this number 5 that Sweden and the United States fought together in Africa?
This was the first Barbary war which happened from 1801 to 1800?
Of course
It happened the second time around but Sweden wasn't a part of the second one
to sum it all up Sweden had been in this conflict since
1800 fighting against the triple o nyan people that were located in Libya
The USA obviously entered in to help fight the piracy that was happening within that region and the war ended with a Swedish and USA
victory with a peace treaty signed number 6 the great northern war this one happened from 1700 to
1721 and it was considered world war ii of the 18th century
basically, you had the Swedish Empire the Dutch the English and many others against Russia Poland and Denmark Sweden had a force of
approximately
76,000 initially but by the end of the war they say they had
200,000 Swedes that lost their lives, however
by the end of the conflict Sweden alone had managed to defeat August the 2nd and his forces of Poland and Lithuania and
Frederick the 4th of Denmark and his forces also keep in mind Russia and Sweden have had a lot of history of conflict
Prior to this. There are some wars that I did not include in this list number 7 you got the Finnish war of 1808 and
1809 for this conflict Sweden had at least 36 thousand troops that were outnumbered by
95 thousand plus troops from Russia, France and Spain and yes Denmark unfortunately for Sweden
this one wasn't a good one for the country because they ended up losing and because of that Finland was lost to Russia and
Became the Duchy of Finland number 8
We got the Swedish Liberation war and let's be real if you didn't have this one in the first place
You wouldn't have Sweden at all to give you an idea back in the day the people of Sweden weren't all too happy
How things were going with the Kalmar Union
there were a lot of taxes that were put in place that the Swedes obviously didn't approve of and
Eventually Gustav Vasa who also had a ship named after him gathered rebel troops in
1521 as a matter of fact
One of the more pivotal battles was the Battle of vaster ass in which Vasa and his forces ended up capturing a copper mine
after this battle word got around and people were starting to support this cause even more and as a matter of fact this
Rebellion, forest became backed by the stur family
Which was one of the top three most wealthiest influential House of the entire country number nine
This is kind of two wars in one, theoretically
I'm just gonna mention the fact that the Napoleonic war was one of the most important wars in human history
But it was actually after that that really helped shape the country of Norway
Because Sweden was on the winning side and Denmark and Norway were on the losing side
Norway was to cede to Sweden. However
Obviously because of this the Norwegians didn't really approve of this and they said no we don't want to be part of the Swedes
Sweden of course, however retaliated and this became known as the campaign in Norway
Which happened in 1814 Sweden of course had over
45,000 troops against the 30 to 35 thousand troops in Norway and by the end of the war, it's thought that
Approximately 5000 troops had been lost on both sides and because of that Norway had become its own
Independent state and as for Sweden, it became a country that decided that it was gonna aim for nothing but neutrality
number-10 know it's not over cuz
1960 came around and we're talking about the Congo crisis now, although this is not necessarily a war for Sweden
It was a war that it was involved with but Sweden was more or less
Peacekeepers and because that still since 1814 they have never officially declared war on any other country
apparently during this entire conflict the Swedes were in heavy firefights, and there's a bit of an
Unfortunate story which I guess didn't get looked into all too much
And that was that the Swedes apparently fired into an open crowd at during a conflict in August of 1961
there was approximately
400 Swedes that were within the country making this the biggest international task of Sweden faced
During the Cold War by the end of the conflict there were 40 troops that were injured and 19 lost their lives
there is also a really
Really dark story about to certain individuals who their bodies have never been recovered
according to major stick von Bayer
He says that two Swedes have never been recovered
And this was after three Swedes and three British officers went on a routine mission and were attacked
But of course only one of the troops who was Swedish made it out alive
and when they went back the next day their bodies were never found and it's kind of
Theorized that their bodies were eaten
Yeah, pretty gross
covered up, obviously
So there you have it guys. That is the top
conflicts that Sweden has been involved with I really hope you guys like this video and a if you guys got any suggestions for future
