Narva

The battleof Narva was fought between Russia and Sweden on this day in the year 1700. It was a great Swedish victory. Unfortunately, the rest of the war against Russia did not turn out equally good. Sweden lost the war and had to give up Estonia and many other provinces to the east and south of the Baltic Sea. This was to the detriment of both Sweden and the inhabitants of those provinces. Sweden had a policy towards the people that was much more free, liberal you could say, than the enemies who seized these territories. Nevertheless, the victory at Narva is worth celebrating.
