                 THE DANISH-SWEDISH WAR 1808-1809

                     By Vegard Bjrketun, 2001

   *****************************************************************


(A Prelude To War...)

1789 = The deep economic crisis following a century of costly,
       unsuccessful wars, forces King Louis XVI of France to
       summon the representatives for the three social classes.
       This is done for the first time since 1614.
       During the negotiations, the requests of Le Tiers tat,
       the 'Third Class', are repeatedly turned down by the
       representatives of the Nobility and the Church.
       Although King Louis XVI sympathizes with cause of the
       'Third Class', he can do nothing for them as long as 
       the two other classes are voting against their demands. 
       Le Tiers tat finally runs out of patience and declares
       itself the Assemble Constituante, 'Constitutional 
       Assembly', of France.


1790 = King Gustaf III of Sweden stands as the victor in the
       war against the Russian Empire after the unsuspected,
       glorious victory in the deceisive naval battle of
       Svensksund. Although Empress Katarina II isn't forced
       to cede any territory to Sweden, Russian interference 
       in Swedish politics ceases, the Russian Empire is 
       forced to to pay Sweden considerable yearly subsidies,
       and Swedish merchants are granted advantages in Russia.
       Most important; Gustaf III has proved to Europe that
       Sweden not will become another Poland.


1791 = Monarchy is overthtrown in France. Reached by the news
       of the dramatic events, King Gustaf III of Sweden sends
       Swedish diplomat Count Axel von Fersen to meet with the
       dethroned King of France, presenting a plan for the 
       Royal family to flee to northern France and from there
       to be shipped across the Channel to safety in Britain,
       all financed by the Swedish crown. 
       King Louis XVI accepts the offer, but during the escape
       north, the Royal company is intercepted by troops of 
       the Revolutionary Army and put under arrest. 


1792 = Revolutionary France declares war on Austria, Preussen
       and Sardinia. Later that year, the French Republic is
       proclaimed.

       During a masquerade in the Stockholm Opera, sworn enemy
       of the French Revolution King Gustaf III of Sweden, is
       assassinated by Johan Jacob Anckarstrm, a former 
       Captain of the Royal Guard. Inspired by the republican
       ideas of the French Revolution, Anckarstrm 'relieves'
       his countrymen from one of the wisest King ever to reign
       in the Kingdom of Sweden.

        
1793   'The Welfare Committee' rules France with a reign of
 -   = terror. Executions en masse are conducted, culminating
1795   with King Louis XVI walking up the stairs to meet
       with 'Madame Guillotine'. Shocked by the murder of the
       French King, nine European nations form a coalition,
       declaring war on Revolutionary France.
       The French army however, proves to be practically 
       invincible in battle and great victories are won. 
       Among the most succesful commanders of the French 
       Republic, is one Napoleon Bonaparte.


1796   In Sweden, the young Crown Prince is crowned King
 -   = as Gustaf IV Adolf.
1800   
       Numerous peace treaties with France are signed.
       Nevertheless, another coalition against the French
       is formed between Britain, the Austrian Empire and
       the Russian Empire.
       General Bonaparte arranges a coup d'tat in France,
       declaring himself First Consul of France.

       
1801   France makes temporarily peace with Britain, while
 -   = peace treaties with Austria and Russia remain 
1803   unbroken for a few more years.
       General Bonaparte proclaims himself First Consul 
       of the French Republic for life.


1804 = Napoleon Bonaparte is crowned Emperor of France.


1805 = The Russian Empire and Sweden join Britain in her
 -     war against Napoleonic France. 
1806   


1807 = After the Russian defeat in the battle of Friedland,
       Emperors Alexander of Russia and Napoleon of France
       sign a treaty of peace and cooperation in Tilsit, 
       Eastern Preussen. The Russian Empire is to join the
       anti-British alliance in return for French support
       for Russian aggression against Swedish Finland.
       The neutral Kingdom of Denmark-Norway is attacked
       by the British. Consequently, Denmark allies with
       Napoleonic France against Britain.
       -Good one, Pitt!

entire garrison with it:

Regular troops   - 6,750 men
Irregular troops -   700 men
Officers         -   200 men

This represents 1/3 of the Swedish army in Finland and if it
wasn't bad enough already, the entire Finnish Archipelago
fleet with its 94 vessels also falls into the hands of the
Russians, as well as the fortress artillery of more than
2,000 pieces.
Admiral Cronstedt's betrayal is to prove a deceisive turning
point of the war. With the threat of Sveaborg removed, the
Russian navy may operate freely in the Gulf of Finland and
thousands of Russian troops may leave the coast of southern
Finland to be sent to the other fronts.
