This episode explores the dramatic collapse of the Swedish Empire following the Battle of Poltava in 1709. We trace how King Charles XII’s refusal to negotiate led to the destruction of his veteran Carolean army, a turning point that shattered Sweden’s dominance over the Baltic region. Through the eyes of diplomats like Georg Johann von Görtz and military figures such as Magnus Stenbock, we examine the diplomatic maneuvering and military disasters that followed. The conversation details the Treaty of Nystad, which forced Sweden to cede vast territories including Estonia, Livonia, Ingria, and parts of Karelia to Russia. We also look at the internal political shift from absolute monarchy to the Age of Liberty, and how this defeat inadvertently fostered Sweden’s long-term neutrality and modern welfare state foundations. Join us as we uncover the human cost of imperial ambition and the strategic realignments that shaped modern Northern Europe. #CharlesXII #BattleOfPoltava #SwedishEmpire #GreatNorthernWar #PeterTheGreat #TreatyOfNystad #CaroleanSoldiers #AgeOfLiberty #StockholmHistory #BalticSea #RussianEmpire #GeorgJohannVonGortz #MagnusStenbock #Stormaktstiden #NordicHistory #EuropeanHistory #MilitaryHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
