In the aftermath of that conflict, the Swedish king Charles X Gustav had set his eyes upon Brandenburg and Austria to enable a campaign against Poland. What does "set his eyes upon" mean. Who was he intending to invade?
Thanks, I agree, that bit was somewhat unclear. Rephrased.
The treaty of 1660 established the political borders of Denmark, Sweden and Norway that have lasted to the present day. Not according to the map. I think you mean the borders between the three?
Yep. Rephrased.
Link Bornholm and Trøndelag
Done.
The Swedish king knew that the army would not be able to be supplied in Sweden for long I'd like to believe you but I don't. You park the army near a port in Sweden and bring in supplies from all over the Baltic by water. what's the problem?
Modern military logistics with supply lines from the rear started to develop in the 17th century; but foraging and pillaging were still common in the mid-1600s. It was essentially free to park your army on the enemy's land and take what you needed from the local land and local farmers; buying and shipping provisions would be a large expense for the small Swedish state.
Here are a few quotes from the sources:
Charles had to decide swiftly. Under the terms of Roskilde, the Danes were to supply him with 2000 men and maintain the Swedish army until it withdrew in May. Charles knew that it was impossible for him to support the army for long, and unthinkable to disband it when the Poles were thirsting for revenge, prepared to support an aggressive war beyond the Commonwealth's borders for the first time since 1635.
(Frost, p. 181)
Last but not least, he had a large army to support. It was simply not possible let it stay unused. The costs were too great. He could not disband it either, with the sensitive foreign situation.
(Isacson, p. 187)
Link Livonia and Estonia. (Advice to King Carl Gustav: invade Russia. that's what the real megalomaniacs do.)
Done. 40 years later, in the early 1700s, the then Swedish King Charles XII actually did invade Russia. Napoleon and Hitler would later follow his mistakes :)
but the many enemies in Brandenburg Whao are we referring to?
Clarified.
field marshal Gustav Otto Stenbock Is field marshal his rank? Capitalise it.
Done.
The plan was for the Swedish army to march on Copenhagen. Reference required.
Done.
It was expected that the Dutch would intervene in the conflict, Why? (Hint: move it up from the next section.)
Done, thanks.
Vice admiral -> Vice Admiral
Done.
Thanks to the earlier preparations, a large force of 14,500 Brandenbrugers under Frederick William, 10,600 Austrians led by the Italian field marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli and 4 500 Poles led by Stefan Czarniecki had crossed the Oder on September 14, 1658. Comma required here in the last number
Done.
The Swedes were not popular in the regions that Sweden had gained at the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. With the new war going badly, insurgents saw their chance to rise up against the unpopular rule. Reference required.
This reference is the only thing holding up promotion now. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:38, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, missed this one. Somewhat expanded and referenced now. henrik•talk 09:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks, good suggestions! I'll get cracking. Yep, it's an obscure little war, but it was arguably the beginning of the end of what was called the Swedish Empire. I like to write about Swedish failures :-)
One northern war at a time :-) henrik•talk 09:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the sources are in Swedish, but Frost's The Northern Wars (1558-1721) is English. It only devotes a few pages to this particular war though (not surprising, it's an overview of nearly two centuries of history). I plan on expanding the coverage of this large multifaceted conflict in other articles, and for that I plan on expanding my collection of English language sources. I'll probably go back here then and revisit it give more weight to English sources, if nothing else to make verification more convenient. henrik•talk 11:06, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
