Even with a surviving Gustav II Adolf, Sweden would sooner or later face a war with Poland- Lithuania, Russia, Denmark- Norway and the North German princes. A war she can not win. So in the end even if Sweden gain more, she'd sooner or later lose.If Gustavus Adolphus continues and manages to weaken the Habsburgs too much that encirclement is no issue, then France might turn against it.
once more....I have always wondered, what if Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, also known as the Lion of the North, had lived. Would there have been more protestant countries in Europe? Would Sweden have eventually became a superpower? Could they have even been a rival with Russia, perhaps?
