And what do you mean with 'What happened at Poltava ey?'

A Small, hungry, and tired army, that had been marching and fighting for over 9 years, Faced a reform HUGE entrenched Russian army. In the ending phase of the battle of Poltava, 4000 Swedish soldiers advanced and attacked 22000 Russian ones, what happened? The Swedes were close of defeating the Russians. but they needed cavalry support, a support that never came.

This video makes me laugh. You claim that sweden is such a nice country beating the russians with more people, but this was a victory for you only because of the snowstorm and Peter retreated, having no leader commanding us. What happened in Poltava ey?

[coolthing100]

Huh?

The Snowstorm did not bring victory to the swedish army. The skill of the swedish carolean troops bringed them victory. The Russian army was commanded by a BETTER general than peter I. Peter was not an exellent General, he was an administrator.

There were several other swedish victories over the russians. A great example is the battle of Holowczyn, where the Swedish army amazingly defeated a huge russian army. We also have the Battle of Fraustadt, Malatitze etc etc.

And seriously WTF? Tiny battles? The Battle of Narva was an enormous battle.

You wanna know how many Swedes died in battle during the Great Northern War? 25.000, you know how many Russians died? 75.000,

Sweden had losses of 25.000 in total from battles, their enemies (the coalition) had 103.000.

Do you know how stupid you sound?

The important thing here is not issues of wind and weather.

The young Russian recruits encountered one of the most experienced armies of its day.

Chales XII was a young lad himself, one who gave his life up for his Sweden.

Right or wrong? It really doesn't matter. He was one of history's most inspiring - and successful - commanders. Russia is still at her knees and today PUSHED BACK thanks to him!

The swedish king's name is not charles ! it's Karl XII !!!

I don't know much of their interactions. But thanks to the british navy Sweden could achieve a quick victory over the danes, which allowed us to quickly turn our armies towards Russia and Poland-Saxony. So they were very necessary in Sweden's success in the relief of Narva because it allowed Sweden to concentrate its forces were they were most needed.

What do you think about your ally Britain in the Great Northern War?
