Specifikacia A Warrior Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of Sweden as a Military Superpower, 1611-1721 Lunde Henrik O.
This book examines the meteoric rise of Sweden as the pre-eminent military power in Europe during the Thirty Years War during the 1600's, and then follows its line of warrior kings into the next century until the Swedes finally meet their demise, in an overreach into the vastness of Russia.A small Scandinavian nation, with at most one and a half million people and scant internal resources of its own, there was small logic to how Sweden could become the dominant power on the Continent. That Sweden achieved this was due to its leadership--a case-study in history when pure military skill, and that alone, could override the demographic and economic factors which have in modern times been termed so preeminent.Once Protestantism emerged via Martin Luther, the most devastating war in European history ensued as the Holy Roman Empire sought to reassert its authority by force.
