The Swedish-Muscovite Deluge on the Polish Commonwealth.

[Johan]

55.000 men sounds like a rather too large a figure for a swedish army.

Anyway, the winter of 1657-1658 saw a Swedish/Danish war where the swedish main army withdraw from Poland and marched over the ice to Sjaelland.

That might be one of the reasons to why Poland managed to recover, but it could also be that the danish war was a very convenient way to get out of Poland without being fully defeated.

I find that unlikely since it was the Danes who declared war.

Sapura,

I will comment your post later. I have to run now...
