The wrath of Charles XII was now aimed directly at Poland-Lithuania. But their leader had a plan! ..A terrible plan.

Me (who's name is Augustas): Once I was a king.
Swedew: invade russia
Winter:What up bud
Swedew: oh no
Do the war of the spanish succession !
What year did this take place?
Losing: …
Augustus: It's free real estate.
What was the goal of Augustus's "keep losing" strategy?
What I’m getting from this video is that the Swedish are modern day vikings
The only thing more powerful than Charles XII is the sarcasm…
[¿…^●^…¿]
Charles XV
In 1697 polish "szlachta" (warrior landowners) have elected for its king some Italian Duke – Di Conti. But polish Magnates ( wealthy landowners of huge estates) wanted their own king so they just elected this August of Saxony and proclaimed him king while Di Conti was on his way to Gdańsk by sea. A coup of state more or less. Szlachta didn't want a Civil War so they just accepted…. even if that mean that political traditions have just been annihilated.
Long range consecuace of that was in my opinion disappearance of Polish State in 1795.
4:26 losing has been too complex
The swedish are tough as hell
PLC in 16th century >>>>>>>>>>>>>> PLC 200 years later
Charles XII is my boy
J U S T K E E P L O S I N G
I can't tell if the part about Poland Lithuania is meant as an insult or they literally just decided to intentionally lose the war.
I'm Lithuanian and that is baddest and shamest war in our history.
Ahh I see the Swedes went full space marine: Innovative + Quality and Swedish Ideas for 50% infantry combat ability.
Now i knew why the Swedish don't want to join WW2
They knew its gonna be an easy win
it's pronunced Karl with a K, Like C in can, not charles
"Both [Augustus and Peter] were unusually tall, strong and able to consume copious amounts of alcohol. So when they met, they engaged in a several-day-long bout of binge drinking punctuated with cannon-shooting and bare-handed-horseshoe-breaking contests. And, while they were at it, they also decided to wage war against Sweden. A coalition of Saxon, Russian and Danish forces attacked the mighty Baltic empire soon afterwards. But, like many other drunken ideas, it didn't go exactly as intended…"
Check this blog post out for a different perspective on the Great Northern War — as well as the history of a popular dessert, allegedly invented by the Charles XII's puppet king of Poland.

And in Germany Augustus of Saxonia is called August the "strong"…
Edit …So is Peter too, but I never heard of the Swedish King before. Who was definitely more daring.
Can’t believe he just got shot
Augustus… the Medieval era version of New York Knicks.
I didn't enjoy this episode to be honest. The way you described Polish strategy is just a mocking conjecture and it doesn't bring any historic insight at all. I'm sure they had a reasonable strategy, it's just that it didn't work in the end.
OMG. Everyone please report Augustus for intentional dying
the swedish will is still alive atleast in the south
