	Main Document - Swedish-Russian War
		During the Northern war (1700-21) things suddenly changed; the war in the Northern seas took on new forms and the seawar against Russia was mainly fought in the shallow waters off the coast of Finland by small squadrons of coastal vessels.
		The events of the war against Russia in 1741-43 showed the Swedes the importance of building a navy that could operate in cooperation with the landarmy and in 1753 it was decided that a new fleet was to be built for this purpose.
		When king Gustav III of Sweden provoced war with Russia the army was in shambles, but the naval forces were at a peak and the war was to be fought mainly on the high seas as the landoperations soon failed.

	Øresundstid - 1600tallet
		The terrible devastation, which affected Scania in connection with the Scanian war, was not lessened by the fact that the war was partly carried out as a partisan war.
		The adventurousness, which marks a partisan war probably fed the imagination, and the many stories, often with romantic and heroic touches that posterity tells of should probably be taken with a pinch of salt.
		In the spring of 1677 the Swedes demanded loyalty statements of the inhabitants in Scania and in April 1678 the king issued a command to burn all farms and kill all men capable of bearing arms in Ørkned parish in the north-eastern Goenge district.

	History in Focus: War - Response to review of The Northern Wars
		There are separate sections on the Nordic Seven Years War and the Scanian War, and I accept fully Dr Lind's contention that the fighting was on a scale that matched other fronts.
		If I did not deal at length with the roots of the Danish-Swedish wars in the breakdown of the Kalmar Union, this was because I was not primarily interested in origins, but impact: there is a similarly sketchy account of the background to the wars between Muscovy and Poland-Lithuania.
		The book was never intended to be a narrative account of the wars — something which would have been twice as long and would have bored most readers (and me) to death — and I had to concentrate on the main conflicts.

		This war to a large extent was the result of French diplomacy, attempting to divert attention from the war France fought against the Dutch Republic and the Holy Roman Empire since 1672.
		Denmark and the Dutch Republic declared war on Sweden; the Brandenburgers occupied Usedom and Wollin (1676), Stettin, Rügen, Greifswald, Stralsund (1678).
		During the war, Brandenburg had stood loyally on the side of the Emperor; Frederick William, the Great Elector, felt betrayed by the latter and now signed a treaty with France which guaranteed him an annual subsidy.

		In this first year of the war the two fleets met off Bornholm at the end of May, and the Swedes won a clear victory, while a later engagement at the end of the summer off Gotland was inconclusive.
		After this war, the mood of suspicion between the two countries became ingrained, and a historical line can be drawn from here to the later peace treaties of Br&0slashmsebro and Roskilde, when the Swedes had gained the upper hand and were in a position to make their own conditions.

		The experience from the last war showed that the young Scanian men were deported to distant areas in the Baltic States and did not return.
