128. Borders and Battles

from A Flatpack History of Sweden · host A Flatpack History of Sweden

Does it feel like it's been a long time since Sweden had a conflict with their favourite foe Denmark? Well, it is. The late 1500s and early 1600s has seen an unusually long period of peace and stability between the two countries. But that might all be about to change. The other favourite enemy of Sweden's, Russia, is litterally embroiled in a big mess, and Karl wants to try and see if he can get the most out of it. It's all borders and battles, plus rain and starvation, for Sweden in this episode.  You can find out more information about the podcast on our website, send us an email and follow us on social media here: Facebook Bluesky Twitter
