I'm a Pole, so I'm biased as fuck.
Władysław IV was the best Vasa on our throne, fuck his father. Jan Kazimierz was plainly unlucky.

The only thing Swedes had to do was to accept catholic king.
The only thing Russians had to do was to accept catholic tsar.
God damn schisms, they've ruined such an excellent plan!

The empire didn't last much longer than a century, but at least the military was fucking top-notch

>Was it's decline all for the best?
No, it was a tragedy. That fuckup Charles XII ruined everything by pushing into inner Russia like a mong after caving their shit in at Narva, he should've gone for St. Petersburg and fortified himself there. Choking the Russians out of the Baltic would have changed history, without access to the sea that way they would have remained a backwater of furshits instead of fucking up the entire western world for centuries.

this

mistakes were made

>low population
>frozen hellhole
>surrounded by similar yet not trustable ppl
>instead of reigning in the danes and norgayans, develop a FULL ATTACK CHARGE BY BAYONET tactics and wages war against literally everyone
>barely controls anything outside of sweden

overly ambitious, getting their assed handed to them whenever real opposition shows up
not even an empire

>>668063
This

I don't get why our naziboos cream themselves about Charles XII, Gustavus Adolphus is the real deal when it comes to military innovations.

>>668073
>march up to bayonet charge range (50m)
>fire a full salvo
>charge

who thought this one trick pony is a good idea for a country that has no numerical advantage

It was one of those nations which was influential beyond its means thanks to fortunate geopolitical circumstances and the competence of its leaders.

St. Petersburg did not exist until 1703 when Peter the Great founded it on occupied Swedish clay.

Also he didn't push into Russia until 1707 but instead decided to rape Polan for 5 years

Was the ancient Finnish Empire really Swedish?
