Sweden, a very underrated empire, but like the French Empire, and the German Empire took several superpowers and smaller nations to defeat. It took 21 years for Denmark–Norway, Great Britain, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Prussia, Russian Empire, Saxony, and other belligerents, like the Cossack Hetmanate, Duchy of Courland, Hanover, Kalmyk Khanate, Montenegro, and Moldavia to fully defeat Sweden. And considering the fact that the swedish army at the time was dwarfed by their enemies and the swedes often fought eavily outnumbered yet most of the time came out victorious is quite impressive. And some of the allies of Sweden, like Ottoman Empire later in the war turned against Sweden. Even when Great Britain and Prussia join the anti-swedish coalition, the swedes still attempted large scale invasions and still saw alot of success. They completely stopped a russian naval invasion of Stockholm in the closing years of the war. It ultimately took a bullet to the swedish king to get the swedes to stop their campaigns.
