Why are Swedecucks so proud of their pathetic "empire"? No one gives a fuck about it besides them

Why are Swedecucks so proud of their pathetic "empire"? No one gives a fuck about it besides them.

Yet you care enough to make a thread about it :^)

Weak reply

>success breeds jealousy

Countries that care:
>All of scandinavia+Finland
>Poland
>Baltic countries
>Germany
>Russians who give a fuck about history
So basically, every country in proximity to Sweden cares about the empire

they did a minor genocide in Poland as well
look up the "Swedish deluge"

Russians and Germans do not care, stop lying.

the opinion of the rest doesn't even matter

so that is why they are called snowniggers.....

>Russians don't care
True, which is why i specified it more when i wrote about them
>Krauts don't care
They do, the 30 years war is common knowledge to the average german

The Swedish Empire isn't that big of a deal in Sweden. It isn't even refered to as an "empire" in Swedish either.

Just beacuse they know about it doesn't mean they care, they dealt with far superior and relevant nations in their history.

Instead they call it the "great power time" their hubris is astounding, like they mattered in european history at all, they are the least accomplished people in all of Europe yet they are so full of themselves.

It's a more fitting term considering that Sweden was the same kingdom then as it is now, never an empire. Relative to Sweden before and after it was a time of "great (regional) power". Of course we were never acting on the same scale as Britain, France or Russia, only an idiot would say that.

Swedes actually believe that though

THIS IS WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN


IF ONLY THEY DIDN'T FUCK UP THE 17TH CENTURY

I very much know this feel

Many Russians give a fuck, even those who are not history freaks

- Peter the Great reforms started with attempt to recover Vodskaya pyatina - access to Baltics - that Swedes had stolen 80 years earlier.
- There is still popular saying around: 'lost as a Swede near Poltava'
- There is a Swede demanding Kem' volost from Ivan the Terrible in megapopular Soviet film 'Ivan Vasilevich changing career'
- There are several Swedish towns remaining in Russian Federation such as Vyborg, Kexholm, some of them still with considerable architecture though (fast decaying due to local corruption and laziness)

>Least accomplished in Europe
I think you're confusing them with the Swiss. Staying neutral for so long made them so complacent. Only did banking in most wars, few great scientists, never colonized anywhere, relatively slow to industrialize compared to Germany and France, their neighbors, and what did they invent, better cuckoo clocks?

>1/3 of the entire population dies
>minor

No one cares about which country discovered some stupid element first. It's not a real way to measure scientific accomplishment.

finland is not scandinavian

>lost as a Swede near Poltava
Poltava was such bullshit. The Russians lost every battle until they finally overwhelmed a tired Swedish army with sheer numbers and slight tactical competence, which mostly consisted of taking advantage of Creutz' fuckups. But now the only things poor Charles is remembered for is Poltava and running away to Turkey

>Poland
>caring about Swedes at all

kek

>romania

Ruskies probably heard about it from the great northern war

>Be king in western norway
>unwed and in need of a wife
>finds a beautiful woman but unwilling to marry
>needs to unite he norwegian folk under one flag
>do it
>grows a massive beard on the way
>she marries him
>cut all the hair to fulfill his promise with her
>proceed to have 20+ kids with varying women
kings man...

just poland things
