Following the passing of his father, Charles XII, known as Carolus Rex, became King of Sweden at the age of 15. The quiet but determined King had been brought up to rule as an absolute monarch.

Charles XII had his faults, but he was a great king and general. I think many people don't understand him. They say that he was a bad politician. He wasn't a politician. He was a statesman. Namely, he didn't play the political game where you pretend to friends and lie and cheat your way to the top. He was willing to go the extra mile for the good of the country for the long term, not just the short term. Charles was unwilling to make a peace deal unless he received ALL of Sweden's land back. He knew his history how Sweden was almost crushed by coalitions in the past. Charles' goal was to crush his enemies so hard that they would never be a threat to Sweden again. By giving Peter what he wanted, Charles was dooming his country to another war in the future when Russia was stronger. Charles was an idealist. Denmark, Poland/Saxony, and Russia were all friendly to him when he became king, and he assumed that that meant that they acknowledged his sovereignty over the lands he ruled. He didn't understand that your average king/queen of the era was duplicitous, crafty, and willing to betray any ally if it meant a stronger position. Charles was unfortunate in the timing of the war. Charles wanted to knock out Saxony as soon as possible so that he could turn to Russia and do the same to them. Unfortunately, because of the War of Spanish Succession, he was restrained by the Allies because they needed all the German troops they could get, and they wouldn't get them if Charles threatened Germany. Because of this delay, Peter was given the precious time he needed to reform his armies. In hindsight, one mistake Charles did was to march to Moscow and not St. Petersburg. Charles' strategy was based on knockout punches. He dashed across to Denmark at the beginning of the war and was able to knock them out, and when he was able to enter Saxony, he did the same to them,. Charles didn't realize that Peter would do ANYTHING to protect his city of St. Petersburg, even to risk a battle. The very thing Charles wanted. If there was one thing that Charles was superb at, and something that I want to emulate, is his leadership skills. Even though he was an absolute king, he never elevated himself over his men. He lived roughly just like them, and he would never ask his men to do something he wouldn't do himself. And that earned respect and love from his men.

@@plasmakitten4261 Someone who learned WW@ more or less, the basics I mean, should know what defeated Germany. No, it was not winter, it was not USSR which fed the beast that attacked it when it grew strong enough. Simplest answer would be the united force of nations that were not friends, or in case with Britain and USSR--hated each other with fervor. I highly recommend to read about first year of German assault on USSR, preferably from someone who studied USSR, their history and military. Did you know 4 million soviet soldiers gave up in the first year of the war? Did you know that Germans captured so much ammo and resources that USSR would be fighting with shovels and sticks if someone did not send them first grade gun powder and metals? USSR was on the brink of extinction. A good proof of that was that Stalin? who counted his people just a bit better than filth, made an announcement to them calling them brothers and sisters. Did you know that USSR that made itself a purpose to eradicate religions freed a lot of priests when thew war started. They also brought back traditions of Tsar's army, ranks and a lot more. USSR was going to lose. If they made every man woman and boy attack Germans in that year, they would only delay the inevitable. I know, Russians like to think they defeated Germans. That is stupid. Stupid people ignited that war with Germans, and stupid people paid dear price for their stupidity. Winter did not defeat Germans and neither did USSR. It was like a rusty spear that hits the enemy, loses sharpness, but still has enough strength to finish him. The 3 nations defeated German army. And perhaps the one that lost the most men, deserved that the most. Then there is the story of how the world came to WW2 which is also amazingly interesting. But that is another story.

Just can't believe I have found a group that brings me such joy when I hear them. I look for the next song even if it's a older one. I love this music and hope to get the albums soon. I want to own all of the music as its not only the lyrics and music it is history being told and I love it.

It's a great band! I'm usually into mostly traditional heavy metal but Sabaton is the perfect band to do the whole war history-themed lyrics. It's done in a very respectable way and about so many different conflicts in different eras.

One of the most epic songs ever written.

Saw the concert in Philadelphia, i was in the top floor on the right side. OMG I'm seeing you guys again when you come back. I love you all. You saved my life when i discovered you with Bismarck. You guys are my all time favorite band. I hope next time you will be able to come to the Hershey Stadium. much bigger venue. I would love to get backstage tickets to meet you guys. You are an important part of my life.

Seriously since I discovered Sabaton accidentally this spring, i barely listen to something else. Told my friends about the band, now they listen to almost only Sabaton as well.

carolus rex was the first song to get me into sabaton (it just went on when playing eu4 and i liked it a lot)

Sabaton, спасибо за то что помните историю , наши предки воевали друг с другом , за то чтобы мы сейчас жили и слушали прекрасную музыку..

Respect from Croatia 🇭🇷 You have Carolus Rex, we Nikola Šubić Zrinski.

Dude is 15 years old, saying that it is his time to rule 'at last', like he is prince Charles

I was lucky enough to see this song live a few weeks ago. They sound exactly the same in person its amazing!

I was at your concert in Boston last night! Amazing show and hope you guys come back soon! It was my first Sabaton concert and will not be my last!

Carolus Rex was the first Sabaton song I ever heard, back in 2017, and since then the band has been my favorite

Keeps right on eating my meatballs patriotically.

This is why I'm increasingly getting into Sabaton. They make learning history cool and really bring the feeling of the subject of the song. And they rock the f*** out too 👍

the only band that can make me patriotic for not my country

Can we talk about the fact that this song has one of the best guitar solos in music history?
