North Sea Lion: Sweden 1670

In 1659, Karl ascended the throne at the age of eleven and fourteen. The regent headed by Magnus controlled the government, the nobles embezzled the land, and the treasury was left empty. He sat in the Privy Council every day, listening to the quarrels of the ministers, unable to interrupt, and no one took him seriously. But Karl XI knew that Alexey Mikhailovich, the Tsar of the Russian Romanov dynasty in the east, was gathering strength. King Christian V of Denmark in the south had just been crowned. He stared at Skåne, Sweden, with red eyes. The German princes in the west, the Elector of Brandenburg, Frederick William, known as the "Elector", were sharpening their swords. On the other side of the North Sea, there are opportunities and abyss. When he died, what he left to his son was not his wealth. It was an empire that the whole of Europe did not dare to look down upon. And an instruction: "Remember, the wolf won't stop biting you just because you lower your head."
