The Northern War was a conflict between Finland and Sweden due to the ongoing division of territories in Northern Europe, many disagreements and imperial ambitions of both. After the defeat of Sweden, the war continued between Finland and Russia, which stood up for its ally Sweden in this war. The largest battle of the conflict was the battle of Elgik's Field, which ended with the defeat of Russia. The Northern War was ended on October 25, 2020 with the signing of the Helsinki Peace Treaty. As a result of the war, a number of Swedish territories were ceded to Finland and Denmark, and Russia gained control of Karelia, the Kola Peninsula, as well as the separatists of Northern Finland for a temporary period.
Background
Crowning of Noveritsch
When Noveritsch was crowned king of Finland, he immeidiately declared war on Sweden, to claim some stolen towns. After this, Russia and Kamtchatka announced support for Sweden, with Russia saying that despite Sweden being inactive, they have active allies.
During the War
Indirect involvement of Denmark
Despite Denmark and Finland not being allies, Denmark stole a Swedish town, Gothenburg. This meant that Denmark indirectly supported Finland. However, Denmark doesn't have hostilities against Sweden. Meaning, Denmark is, and isn't in the war, leaving it in a intriguing spot.
End of War
During the war, it became chaotic. Eventually the Swedish side decided that they'll be active again, and started to work on a treaty with Finland. Eventually they reached an agreement on a border, and the ceding of Visby to Finland. In the end it was considered a de facto loss for Sweden as they lost two towns, however since there was a treaty and both sides ended the war it can also be called unconclusive.
Finnish-Russian War
After the treaty, Russia decided that they will contnue in the war against Finland, due to allegations of stealing towns or in general making them leave Russia
