The Jutland War


May, 1864. Our ally, Holstein, seeing the Danes weaker than ever, declared war against them .. and they demand us to respect the alliance and to join the war too.
We accepted.

Holstein is already besieging Jutland, while we are besieging Copehangen!

After one year of fighting, Holstein gone mad and accepted to pay indemnisates to Denmark .. luckly that it's a separate peace treaty, now we will take Jutland too!

Copenhagen is ours !

Jutland is liberated too by 1486.

The invasion of Gotland begins.

And we failed thanks to the winter...
We will learn from this mistake!

By November 1488, the second invasion of Gotland is a succes.

At the end of 1488, Denmark offers us peace .. and it's exactly what we want. Gotland and Jutland will be annexed to Sweden.
An era of supermacy awaits us !
Our rivals, Denmark and Novgorod are on their knees. Denmark is alive thanks to their colonies in Iceland and Greenland, while Novgorod it's Moscow's target.

July, 1498, our ally, the Teutonic Order declared war to Novgorod. We will assist them!
10x7jwk.jpg


After 2 years, in 1500, we occupied their whole country.

However, they refused to surrender and the population of Novgorod warned us to stay out of their city.
We remained with Ingermanland..
The Nations of Europe now have a bad oppinion about us. We reached a bad level of badboy.

In 1510, Moscow annexed Novgorod, just after we mobilised our country for a war with the city-state..

Revolted about the fall of Novgorod in the hands of Moscow, we found a new ally who might help us in the following war.

November 1517, a new religion was formed ! Martin Luther revolted against the Pope and tried to show the world the bad things about catolicism.
We are tired of the Pope too ! We shall support Luther !

In the same month, we decided to become the first Protestant country of the world !

The Pope was very furious about that and demanded to the whole countries of Europe to break the diplomatic relation with us.
Spain banned us from the alliance.

The war with Moscow must wait now. We have more problems in our own country.
We are trying to convert our people to the new religion.

A new monarch !! The first one after the destruction of the Kalmar Union.

The end of Chapter II
 
Sorry, I should have warned you that you get free conversions in the historical protestant provinces in the coming decades. Oh well, how about taking that juicy Danzig COT with your new ally?
 
The only reason I hadn't responded to this before is because I didn't check your signature for a while (I read all your AARs, they are all good.) But now I am here for the ride. Good luck Mighty!
 
Chapter III:
The New World

August, 1526. The Kingdom is completely converted to Protestantism, but we are having problems with the economy.
A war with Moscow would be too much, so we decided to finish off Denmark. But for that, we must invade their territory from the Atlantic Ocean ..and we must find some crazy enough men to explore the zone for us.
28ixeeg.jpg


1534, great news ! We are no longer alone! England converted to Protestantism !
29xxda0.jpg


In 1541, the Teutonic Order also joined our cause.
21lucsm.jpg


We are now in an alliance with England. Their ports will be useful in the upcoming war with Denmark.

In 1542 finnaly, some men voluntered to help the nation and to explore the zone where Denmark's colonies are.
Their orders were to go and invade Iceland, but the storm there had another plans. The ships were driven southwards .. where the crew realised that they are no longer on the map.

The crew had no idea where to go, so they advanced hopping that they will find land.
2hmle1k.jpg


They went even more southwards, and to their surprise, they found an island!
Having no other choice, the crew landed in the unknown island .. they didn't know, but they were walking on a new world.
Soon enough they arrived at a strange settlement, where they found .. natives !
They couldn't understand each other, but the Natives were happy to provide supplies to the crew.
10ns3fk.jpg


After that, another land was spotted, and the Swedish landed there .. Same thing .. natives !
2z59bmv.jpg


Then the ships went even more southwards .. we started to build colonies to get enough supplies to go home and tell the people what we found!

The first colony on the new world was established !

Try not to keep your fleet at sea more than is necessary, as warships are quite expensive. Don't send galleys to the ocean either.

And that alliance is now really strong.
 
Colonization


The natives are starting to be hostile towards us.
2rymxwi.jpg


However, we are continuing our colonization of the new world !
2evzqs3.jpg


One more colony, we decided that Delaware will be the first city of the new world!
2n0ixd1.jpg


We got in contact with England's colonies .. so we weren't the first ones there...
1z5rwxk.jpg


The first natives to be killed by Swedish sword.

It looks like we got in contact with French colonies too..

Woo, Swedish new world.

A very minor tip, you don't need conquistadores to explore already settled provinces (it doesn't matter much, but whatever)
 
Betrayed


1551, we are continuing our colonization!
11bkrk5.jpg


A new colony, in Santee. We also encountered some native nations there .. we better avoid them for now.
2u4pooi.jpg


England is again turning to their previous religion. They will never be accepted back into the Protestant world !!!
2d7akox.jpg


1553, our first city in the new world, Delaware is no longer a colony, but the city from where we are going to lead our colony, which from now on will be called 'Amerika'.
2lurwo1.jpg


A new native nation in south ..
2e0jt3k.jpg


This is Amerika, in 1555.
erct3o.jpg


We are extending our colony !
2j2uqkl.jpg


We are now the major power in Amerika ! The British and the French colonies are small, while the natives can't be considered a threat.

1559, we advanced our technology.
We are now using guns ..
