Join the new world

It's been quite a while since my last article, this is mostly because of my own laziness, but hey; ain't that the beauty of working for yourself? This article is a bit of an experiment, to see if anyone will read part four of a series of articles that started about 2 months ago. Well we'll see, here it is; part fyra.

Oh I almost forgot, if you want to read the previous articles you can find them here: part ett, två and tre.

The German Way

We left of after Sweden mercifully let Germany keep their independence, although this may seem like a good deal for the Germans it had crippled their pride greatly and they were accused of being Sweden's puppet (which they were) and became the laughing stock of the world. You can see the same thing happening at this very moment across the pond, although the US is recieving a milder dose.


What bad could possibly come from angering the germans?

The proud Germans couldn't take this kind of treatment and decided that invading Poland would be a good idea (yes I know this seems hilariously familiar). So they did (no seriously, WWII wasn't fun) and against terrible odds they managed to conquer Poland, a huge factor was the help the Germans received from Pakistan (a powerful country at the time and also the pinnacle of evil).

When the Swedish government saw this they thought it was time to collect on a debt overdue, as it seems the Germans had not signed of some of their MPPs yet and therefore had broken the peace treaty signed a mere month before. This spawned the term "to germ", which is when you agree on something and then not follow it up, a variation of the english phrase "to welch" (it should be noted that this term never was created and that I'm risking my integrity as a writer for a stupid joke).

Or wait, was it that they didn't pay the war reparations? I honestly can't remember and the history of this war is horribly documented.

Anyway Sweden used this to her advantage and asked the admin to give them all German regions back to Sweden. But the admins were too busy eating cheese and drinking wine or whatever so the swedes decided to take matters into their own hands and invaded Germany once again. There were two official reasons for doing so; taking back their legally rightful German regions and reclaiming Poland to the Polish. I was actually in the government at the time and I remember that many congressmen actually had more diabolical plans for Poland than to give it back to the natives.


A typical Swedish congressman

So the second war between Germany and Sweden started, this war was creatively named "Second Sweden-German war", OH COME ON! How come people never come up with good names for wars?Well I'm going to call it Fortsättningskriget (the Continuation War), what's that? That isn't creative at all? It's sure as hell is better than Second Sweden-German war!

Anyway, on July 16th 2008 Sweden invaded Germany which now consisted of Poland and three original German provinces. This war was, I quote the wiki "a long and bloody one" and that's pretty much all the interesting said about the Continuation War there. The war ended with a Swedish Victory on July 28th (which actually was much longer than most thought it would last). The war was certainly very interesting at the time it was fought but it has suffered the same fate as the Crimean War has in RL, pretty much all anyone remembers about it is that happened. But the aftermath of this war has played a very important role, and still does, in Swedish history. This war anchored Germany as Sweden's main enemy, before it had been the natural rival Denmark.

A Free Poland

After conquering Germany Sweden was put in a seat where they had the choice to give Poland their independence back (which had been promised in the campaign against Germany) or keep the land to themselves. There were many supporters on both sides but President Flammbar didn't want to germ the agreement (see what I did there?) and gave the Polish their country back. This act led to a friendship between the nations which we can still see to this very day.

Wow, what have I gotten myself into? I am summarising the shit out of Swedish history and still I have so much left! Well I hope you enjoyed the article.
