Kapitel 148: Europe 1654 Part: 2

THE SWEDISH EMPIRE

The Swedish nation is not the pacifist nation it will be in future generations when it comes to world powers. It remains an influential empire in the European continent and is one of the strongest powers in the current era. Queen Christina was the queen of the Swedish Empire from 1632 to 1654, the current year. The queen pursued cultural and scientific endeavours but ignored financial difficulties in the empire, leading to growing discontent among her subjects with her policies. This discontent ultimately led to her abdication a few weeks ago because she chose not to have any heirs. In her place, her nephew Charles X Gustav took over as the king of the Swedish Empire.
