There are many TL of the Cold War period for other European countries, but for Denmark, Norway and Sweden, they do not seem to have received much attention. Apart from occupation by the Soviet Union in World War III, and the near improbability of a communist and military coup, What events could...

So a friend of mine came across this book, (here's the back of the book and the text of the proposal in English if you don't speak Finnish for whatever reason) which touched on talks about a possible union between Sweden and Finland; where FInland's president and government and president would...

In this question, what if the Swedish warship Vasa never capsized and sank during its maidan voyage? How would it's career turn out as apart of the Swedish Navy?

Novgorod and its surrounding regions had a distinct history from the rest of Russia until fairly recently in the grand scheme of things. Until the fall of the Republic of Novgorod in 1478 its political institutions were drastically different from the ones found further south, as a Merchant...

In the Deluge Poland was invaded by Sweden and Russia. Sweden conquered Poland and Lithuania. Russia conquered Ukraine and Belarus. Yet the Polish carpathian held out. But Tsar Alexis felt he got short end of the stick and turned on Sweden. Poland used this to recovered their territories. So...

Assuming that both Denmark-Norway remains intact and Finland stays a part of Sweden, with a point of divergence in sometime close to the Napoleonic wars, what would become of scandinavism? It had already started to some small degree during the late 1700s (for example during Gustav IIIs visit to...

In the real world Karl XI died of cancer leaving his young son, Karl XII, in charge of the soon to be at war empire. Based on what we know about Karl XI and Karl XII's respective styles, if the war still begins in roughly the same way, how do you think Karl XI would handle the war? What would...

I got inspired by this threads central topic: Link So apparently King Frederick William 1(The Soldier King) of Prussia was intended to marry Queen Ulrika Elenora of Sweden at the start of 1700, but on the verge of certification Charles XII pulled the plug on these plans for reasons unknown...

Question is pretty much in the title. What PoDs would be needed to keep Sweden as a great power? I figure winning the Great Northern War would be a start, but their population problem needs solving. I was looking through this thread...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Langnes The Battle of Langnes was the last battle of the Norway swedish war of 1814. The battle ended in a stalemate with the Norwegian army able to retreat in good order across the Langnes River. This showed that the war was going to go on far longer...

Life getting in the way made me loose the extra time I had to write the former TL. But I don´t complain, it was mostly life changes made by my own choice. And upon doing more research I have found so much minor changes that needed to be done, so a fresh start seemed like the best course of...

Charles XII was one of the most famous or infamous (Depending on your view) Swedish kings. Already at a young age when the Great Northern War, he already defeated the Denmark-Norway, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth under the King of Saxony, and finally turned his attention to Russia under...

In the real world despite a promise of Swedish help from the king of Sweden and Norway, Denmark fought alone. In an alternate world, what would fulfilling the promise look like? what would it take for the Swedish government to agree to help Denmark? What would opinions be like in Norway? (who...

I'm working on a timeline with a less colonized America, and something that I'm thinking about is how a lot of the counter-reformation was funded by new world silver. How much would a timeline where such organizations weren't as large change the history of Poland? It seems like the Khmelnytsky...

I'm guessing he would probably not get elected king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Would Maximilian III be elected in Sigismund's place? How different a path would that put the Commonwealth on? Would it set a precedent for a Hapsburg Poland-Lithuania? Would Sigismund and his descendants...

(First time posting so I'm kinda nervous haha) So I'm in the process of writing and researching a timeline that involves the Swedish Cap and Hat parties continuing into the 1800s. And so I'm wondering about the relationship between the different parties and agricultural workers once they...

The Great Northern War, GNW, marks the end of the Stormaktstiden - The time period in which Sweden ruled as a Great Power in Northern Europe. For about a century(1611~1721), Sweden enjoyed military success and territorial expansion under the leadership of kings like Gustavus Adolphus and Karl...

The challenge is what it says on the tin. With a POD of 1860 and after, make Bulgaria, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, Spain, and Sweden, strong allies for the German Empire for the oncoming World War 1 so they're carrying their weight and being an effective member of the Central Powers that doesn't...

So I'm actually working on a scenario where the Americas were never heavily colonized, and one possible consequence is that the Jesuits wouldn't have the funding to become the force that they did in our timeline. It's possible that Sigismund wouldn't be born or the royal politics that brought...

The 14 Eriks and 16 Charles’ of Sweden I was inspired by @CaesarKhan and their post about the 17 King Edwards of England. My timeline about Eric of Pomerania will continue when my final exams are done, while waiting, please enjoy the fruits of my procrastination! This is a one-shot timeline...
