You missed the part where I do not negotiate with terrorists invaders. Stettin is mine.
Really, I don't see the logic here, C12. Did not Sweden itself capture Stettin by invasion?
The whole part where England/Great Britain imports its raw materials for its navy from Baltic regions drives pretty much all of their foreign policy in the 1710s. Which I have not reported on the details of, but it's worth knowing that was their main concern and why they got involved. Because if there's one thing we know about the Brits during this period, it's that they are a naval power.
Unrelatedly I happen to know a lot about Swedish forests and forestry, so yeah, I did know that exports from that industry were big in the 18th and 19th centuries (also iron). But I hadn't considered it from Britain's perspective.
