A proposito di questo titolo

 Wars In The North covers a series of conflicts, rivalries, political developments, and diplomatic changes in the early modern period between Denmark-Norway, Sweden, Russia, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that will last for centuries. A novice historian having some drinks and talking about history, the goal here is to tell this exciting and complicated story in a more relaxed and sometimes explicit fashion, to get away from the esoteric and "dry" methods of story telling used by some historians. With that being said, join me, as the fate of Northern Europe is about to be decided!Devan Claeys Mondiale
