Early modern period is usually unknown amongst people aside from Napoleon and British Empire. No one knows anything about Sweden except for the fact they were vikings once.

Why is /his/ full of pleb people who somehow think Russia is undefeated?

That's not what the thread is about, it's about Swedish losing their last chance of ever being a relevant world power. Russians lost many times, but that war wasn't one of those.

Russians have rarely lost wars, but they've tended to suffer greater casualties.
