A world in flames

Day 393, 15:02 Published in Sweden Sweden by Krushnow

After the US-Canadian (some canadians call it the War of Nave's Toe) there were some minor conflicts around the world which I'm not going to write about. The first asian war, the Turkey-Israel is worth a mention because of it's value as a milestone but I'm not going to write further about that since I don't find it very interesting and there's a lack of information about that war. No I'm going write about three major wars which became of great importance in the forming of this country, Sweden.

An asian invasion

On April 13th Indonesia invaded Australia, the reason for this attack is claimed to be because the Australian president sent an insulting letter to Indonesia, I have been unable to find sufficient historical proof to back up this theory so I cannot confirm it. The battle for Australia lasted for 5 days with the result of an annexed Australia. One battle worth mentioning is the battle of Queensland where zaney supposidley defeated over 60 indonesian soldiers, an act of great of brute force seldomly seen on the battlefield.

After the war many australians emmigrated from their homeland to new countries among these Sweden. This was an important historical happening for Sweden as this was the first time there was a community of english speaking people living in Sweden. Many newspaper started writing in english and who knows maybe I would be writing this article in swedish instead of english if it wasn't for the Australian immigration.

The Öresund War
The same day as the Norway-Finland war ended (April 21st) Sweden entered Danish soil, this because the danish president Grev Per at numerous times insulted Sweden (one particularly catchy insult was calling swedes "homoswedes" which according to Grev Per is a kind of ape). Grev Per apparently said when asked why he published the insults "If we're going to get invaded, we might as well deserve it".

The actual war didn't last more than two days regardless of the danes, bulgarians and south africans efforts to stop it. The real important thing about this war is what happened afterwards and how it affected Sweden. The Öresund War (or Sweden-Denmark war to the rest of the world) was the first war ever fought by the swedish army and it ended with the unsurprising result of a conquered Denmark. Until this very day the danes are resistant to the swedish invasion but there has no resistance wars have been started (possibly because of the cost). Someone else worth mentioning is the swedish pacifist Josef Stark, one of the only swedes against the invasion of Denmark, he arguedly valiantly but as history has shown; the people who want war tend to be louder than the ones against. The Öresund war's results still echoes loudly in Sweden and the danes are not likely to forget the invasion of their real-life rivals.

The swedish warmachine
Now that the swedish war machine had been fueled with blood it didn't take long until Sweden decided to invade Germany (only 9 days actually, May 1st). The sudden invasion caught the Germans by surprise, they were expecting an invasion but not so soon. The reason for this attack is officially thought to be the fact that Germany had allied themselves with Indonesia but I at the time I had a seat in the congress and the alliance certainly played a role I claim that the reason was that the bloodthirsty swedish people (remember Sweden was the number 1 country at the time) wanted to expand and Germany was the logical target.

At the same time as Sweden invaded Germany Norway attacked Russia. This was an agreement between the two allies and it proved succesful. While Indonesia was busy helping on the Russian front Sweden conquered region after region in Germany.

The war was not as quick as planned and after 19 days of heroic battles Sweden and Norway emerged victorious (although the Norway-Russia war was considerably shorter, it ended May 6th) and therefore expanding the Nordic Alliance greatly. But all German regions were not annexed as the swedish government and Germany made a deal which stated that Germany would be allowed to keep a part of their land, this at the cost of a few regions and 500 gold were given to Sweden. Also there would be an MPP (Mutual Protection Pact) and a NAP (Non Agression Pact) between the two countries. Germany however did not follow these requests and it resulted in the Second Swedish-German war but that is a story for another article.
