Great Northern War - III: Young and Violent - Extra History

Flush from his victories against Poland-Lithuania, Charles XII of Sweden sets his eyes on an even greater enemy: Russia. But its ruler, Peter the Great, is no pushover: as the Swedish troops advance, he burns down the countryside and leaves them starving and exposed as a ferocious winter sets in.

Is there a reason you guys don't call the king of Sweden "Carl"? I am actually visiting Sweden, and no one had any idea who Charles was

Had this War occurred during the 20th Century I Think we are now at the Point where in Augustus of Poland-Lithuania would probably be Thinking, “This just goes to show that Winston Churchill is NEVER there when you need him. He would've Fought them on the Beaches...he would have Fought them on the Landing Grounds...”

Thank you for clarifying. My Swedish friend and I had to settle the debate with much googling

Aidan Forero

So scorched-earth and Russian Winter strike again? Does no one learn from the past that you don't invade Russia unless you are the Mongols?

That's not specific to the english speakers, as we French have the same bad habit (except we "frenchicize" the names).

Sara Samaletdin

This was a bit too ovious regarding what will happen next. But it was an improvement over last where the joking was most of the episode. And I was hoping you would mention the Finnish prisoners building St Petersburg. Maybe more about Finland in the future? Hopefully I didn't sound too critical but I have been waiting for this series for a long time and the first episode was great so I wanted that level to stay.

Michael Waisfeld

My favorite history book calls this sort of situation trying to stave off defeat rather than try to achieve victory.

Christopher Smith

Eating sushi and watching history. This is definitely the life. lol

Daniel Hood

I gotta love the Swedish horses in this episode, so cute.

Crikey! People joke about the Russian winter, seemingly thinking that they're the first person to ever joke about the Russian winter lol Anyways, the Russian winter did not beat the Swedish army. I hope that Extra Credits have read the excellent book "The Battle that shook Europe – Poltava and the birth of the Russian Empire" by Peter Englund. It is probably the most detailed account of the battle available and by reading it, it's pretty clear that Creutz's failed cavalry charged, coupled with Rehnskiöld's failure to properly communicate orders led to the defeat, not the winter. The Swedish army actually fought pretty damn well all considered. I had an ancestor who died at Poltava, and I get quite tired with how the bravery and accomplishments of the Swedish soldiers at the battle often get swept under the rug

Ah yes, but what happens when the Russians invade Finland(controlled by Sweden)....EVERYTHING BREAKS

Andrew MacKenzie

Mr. Napolen and Mr.Hitler!!! Come and see this video!

Yeah, it's pretty much just anglicizing the name. It is always weird making that decision about what to call someone. -_-

While Walpole continues to freeze him out of everything because Walpole does NOT approve of this Augustus fellow...

We certainly try to keep the quality level up throughout a series, but what we like, others may not! I will be happy to take this feedback to our team for future writing notes, though you should know that the rest of the Great Northern War set has already been written and entered production. Hopefully we've delivered on the rest of the series in a way that you'll like!

I'll ping James to see if he's read that particular book and bring this point up with him as a possible topic for the Lies episode!

The more I see of wars, the more it seems as if two or more men set fire to a house, then proceed to fight in it, each hoping to win before the house burns down.
