@Rockyourassed The Russians mostly. Or we Swedes (at that time Finns considered Sweden as their fatherland and the Grand Duchy of Finland as their homeland) attacked the Russians. The 1600's were a period of relative peace in Finland though as most Swedish wars took place in mainland Europe.
@@Rockyourassed Correction: Finland was not "Part of Swedish Empire", they were the Swedish Empire. They were as much Swedes as Swedes. In Sweden, they were called Österlänningar (easterners). Finland as we know it first evolved during the Russian occupation.
The reasoning given here for the cancelled collaboration is extremely vague compared to what happened. The Swedish Army Staff Office had initially approved the collaboration, but when it surfaced that Sabaton had performed for the Night Wolves (Motorcycle organisation from Russia with close ties to Putin) in occupied Crimea back in 2015 (and not acknowledging how controversial that looks), they decided that as part of the Swedish State they couldn't work with the band because of the implications that meant since the Swedish government still considers Crimea to be illegally occupied. I say this as a massive fan of Sabaton, and as a soldier in the SweAF; unfortunate, but understandable.
@@weybye91 politics, especially international politics, is a sensitive subject. While u may think it's not that big of a deal, or even if Ukrainian fans think it's not that big of a deal, it doesn't mean everyone is ok with that. I mean, even without the whole Crimea things, it'd still be understandable if any governments decided to have nothing to do with Sabaton.
Italy and Germany was born in the mid 1800s. Greece became independent 1921. Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Norway, Ukraine, Czechia, and Belarus was born in the early 1900s. Yugoslavia was later on broken up into a bunch of new countries in the 1990s. So very few countries have been independent for a long time. And almost the entire world aside from Turkey, Persia,Japan and China fell under European rule. And later on declared independence after WW2. And most colonies in America only became independent countries in the 1800s.
@@nattygsbord I don't consider Greece, Poland, Czechia, Norway or Lithuania for example as new states. They all have much much longer history. First Czech state for example existed in 9th century. It depends from which side you look at it. Yes these actual states exist from 20th century mostly. Czechoslovakia and Poland establishes in 1918 for example but before that they were countries in medieval times and also later. Czechs became part of Austria in 17th century, Poland became part of Prussia, Austria and Russia in 18th century. They were just resurrected.
Wow, i remember hearing this song on the radio and i got so excited. I worked in the Royal Life guard for 3 years and i have never seen more dedicated and loyal people anywhere else. I also recognize a few colleagues in some of the pictures (I think i was in one of them, i was at least somewhere in the background on several pictures/shots). So glad that Sabaton made a song about Livgardet and may them defend our capital and monarchy for another 500 years :)
@@AR18123 Thank you, i personally dont feel it that way and think that people that work as firefighters, police and medical deserve it more :) But it still means a lot to me and it was an important time in my life, do not regret it in the slightest.
Heard this on the radio two days ago. I was in Gothenburg so I was listening to Pirate Rock. They played a Sabaton triple: En Livstid i Krig, Carolus Rex and Livgardet. Poor Scania speakers, hope I didn't blast you.
I am a proud ex-RO-officer in the Royal Guard, the Livgardet. I did not hear you mention the Livgardet motto - Possunt Nec Posse Videntur, they did what seemed impossible. Through history, that motto was earned in many battles over the centuries. When I was active, Livgardet specialised in two main things, mechanized and urban combat. We trained to be the first into battle to protect not just the King and country's leadership, but to repell any attack on our Capital. These are of course also the objectives today. I feel very grateful that Sabaton made an exception and accepted the Swedish army's request to create this song.
Idea for Sabaton History: Sabaton history: Sabaton This episode should go all the way from when Joäkim was a keyboard player and cover all the album's from *fist for fight* to the production for *livgardet* . All previous and ongoing members of the band can be covered as well.
In a world of growing stupidity where people want to tear down historical monuments, it's great to see that for some history does matter and it's worth remembering
The Swedish army still loves Sabaton and this is a well-known fact, nothing has changed and the Swedish military has now shared the new song Livgardet and thanked sabaton for it on their Facebook page. Not being able to do certain things has to do with politics and nothing personally aimed towards anyone. The army wouldn't have asked Sabaton if they didn't love them for their work.
Had Indy been a few years younger he would have been perfect for a film role as Karl XII. He looks like Karl but better (if the death mask and some paintings are considered reliable sources what he looked like).

Fun addition to this could have been the mention of His Majesties Norske Garde, the current Royal Guard of the Norwegian King. After the Napoleonic wars Denmark lost Norway to Sweden (Sweden fought its last war in 1814 against Norway) who had lost Finland to Russia. In 1856 the Swedish Norwegian Union king asked that Norwegian soldiers should be posted in Stockholm in order to reflect the Union. So the Norwegian Garde was established and served there until 1888 when the Norwegian government ordered them to serve in Christiania (Oslo) in stead. They have since 1905 been the guards to the Norwegian royal house, fought against the Germans during the invasion in 1940 and were deployed around the castle and streets of Oslo during the terror attack of 2011. Loved the video. Thank you.
Jag saknar sånger om krigen som vi utförde här i Göteborg. Rikets värn i väst stod pall trots alla anfall. Hade vart underbart att höra Sabatons tolkning på slaget om Göteborg 1719. Länge leve Löjtnant Lillie!
The song is great, it is nice to see Pär and Indy back in this setting once again. The fans will love it, it will be a concert favorite, I would wager the military establishment will come around at some point and accept the gift of the song.
"Livgardet"is an absolutely epic and Wonderful song that made me wanna know more about Sweden which I love so bad !!!! ❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪(You see ,when it comes to its history I only was aware about its involvement in 30-years war under Gustav Adolf,the existence of Christina and some basics about their great Northern ,where it seemed to me as the" bad guy "that wanted to mess with Great Peter ...)And now with this magnificent video that actually happened ! The only thing that I can tell to Sabaton it's a big "THANK YOU!"🥰🥰🥰You guys are awesome!🤩🤩🤩 From a Greek history freak ...🇬🇷🤪🇬🇷🤪🇬🇷🤪[That also happens to be a drawer...I've already made a painting about the "Red Baron",one about the crusades inspired by "The Last Stand" (which I know that is actually about the Sack of Rome ,but I love so much to associate it with crusades!I just can't help it ...😅😅😅),and now I'm working in one about "The Attack of the Dead Men" .I also want to make one about "Winged Hussars"and "Livgardet")
New Sabaton History content is the best way to get through the middle of the week! And this new song will tide me over until the next album and I can see you on tour again! Thanks guys! 🤘🥰❤
I often have the honor to drive the Livgardet in my bus. I at one time played this for them. Some of them started singing Swedish Pagans when it ended.
Oh you will be celebrating your 500 year anniversary of creation of modern Sweden in two years. That is interesting. Hope you enjoy it and honor the anniversary Sweden. Hopefully the pandemic will be completely over by that time. We ourselves here in Hellas will be celebrating the 200 year anniversary since the beginning of the revolution of 1821 that eventually led ten years later to the creation of the our modern state. Long Live Sabaton and Time Ghost
God I missed you guys! I was actually wondering when would the SH video come for Livgardet. Feels so good to hear Indy telling the history behind the song again
I swear, Sabaton has far more variation to the types of songs they write than any other band of any genre. You'd expect a band which is called a metal band to be all metal all the time, but here they are writing an awesome orchestral and choir song. They even wrote a ballad once. You don't see such variation from other bands and artists.
I really like how the atmosphere of this music brings visions from what all of it means. It feels like it's hard fitting things together the way you do, and that's what makes every song so spectacular, plus, hearing about t'whole history just brings my imagination even closer to the way history was built. You guys nail it every single time! Thank you for this amazing work ❤️
Saw u guy once live ... Sabaton is the real deal. No show or whatsoever they'r the real deal - rock with them just for the sake of rocking with them :)
My ancestor were a Drabant (royal guard) for Karl XII and fought in battle of Poltava. But he survived and followed Karl to Bender in Ottoman empire. That is what it says in the notes about him when i did family research.
@@westondonaldson3569 Yes indeed. Many Swedes have similar family history. Mostly just i know about in the family though I'm the only one that has done the family research and its so distant that its not a big reaction when i tell about it.
Absolutely brilliant song and even though I am not Swedish I love this song. Sabaton make just amazing music and songs about history also historical events, how the hell do they do it. Sabaton the greatest band on the planet and Sabaton History is the greatest educational channel ever. Thank you Sabaton from a British Sabaton fan. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Absolutely amazing song and honorable piece of history of the Swedish empire. Once we were part of it too as Österlandet. Hakkaa päälle pohjan poika ! 🇫🇮 & 🇸🇪
An extremely popular, very proud to be Swedish, metal band is turned away because they played for fans that were not approved. It is sad. A great song about a great subject. The two sides of my family came from Lithuania and from Sweden only 2 generations ago, I always wanted to be Scottish, because that seemed cooler, but I've learned to be proud of my Grandparents homeland, Sweden.
@@judahbenwinchester7009 On the 30th of November 1718, Karl XII was fatally shot from the Norwegian fort of Fredriksten. Hence the reference to 1718, and a trigger happy Norwegian.
@@daspotato895 No one can say for sure that he was killed by a Norwegian, might as well have been a Swedish soldier in a plot to divert the Swedish political landscape from its warpath. Karl XII spent most of his time abroad, some powerful families ought to have disliked that? However, Norwegian researchers, Swedish included, have in recent years leaned towards him being killed by a canister shot, shot from a Norwegian cannon.

I was hoping this was part of a new album in Swedish :( One single song (even a masterpiece like this one) is not enough!! :P
- "Jak się masz?" (he he) - Mam się zajebiście dobrze! :-) You are great! Thank you for all your songs and Sabaton history!

We had missed this!
When the single came out I thought to myself, how long will it be til Sabaton History came back
We heard your thoughts
This was a nice surprise to come around to after a good night on the town. I'll drink to the Livgardet
I can't even believe that this song was a request of the official Swedish Army 😱😱😱
It's a very interesting story.
Welcome back Sabaton Histories! Love you guys!
Thank you for following us
I love the respect you have for the blood and the dedication of the soldier. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant song and even though I am not Swedish I love this song. Sabaton make just amazing music and songs about history also historical events, how the hell do they do it. Sabaton the greatest band on the planet and Sabaton History is the greatest educational channel ever. Thank you Sabaton from a British Sabaton fan. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

I've missed you, Indy 🤗
Absolutely amazing song and honorable piece of history of the Swedish empire. Once we were part of it too as Österlandet.
Hakkaa päälle pohjan poika ! 🇫🇮 & 🇸🇪

Damn Indy! You NAILED that Swedish pronounciation!
😎 yeah
Thank you for this historical video, and for that music, too.
God bless you and your country!
Thank you for appreciating it!
I missed this so much
We missed it too!
An extremely popular, very proud to be Swedish, metal band is turned away because they played for fans that were not approved. It is sad. A great song about a great subject. The two sides of my family came from Lithuania and from Sweden only 2 generations ago, I always wanted to be Scottish, because that seemed cooler, but I've learned to be proud of my Grandparents homeland, Sweden.
Great Video
An ancestor to me served in Livdragonregementet. He died in the battle of Narva.
Indy: if the army never asked you would never get this song [indy points up] (Applebees ad playing smash mouth plays).........
älskar sabaton....inge vidare låt...
Yay! More Sabaton History! My day has been made
We hope you liked the episode!
Yes your back!!!!!
We missed the History Channel
I'm so happy that another Sabaton History came out 😊
Is it a coincidence the video is 17:18 long? Or is some Norwegian soldier getting a little trigger happy?
Elaborate?
@@judahbenwinchester7009 On the 30th of November 1718, Karl XII was fatally shot from the Norwegian fort of Fredriksten. Hence the reference to 1718, and a trigger happy Norwegian.
Coincidence?
*I think not*
🇸🇯
@@daspotato895 No one can say for sure that he was killed by a Norwegian, might as well have been a Swedish soldier in a plot to divert the Swedish political landscape from its warpath. Karl XII spent most of his time abroad, some powerful families ought to have disliked that? However, Norwegian researchers, Swedish included, have in recent years leaned towards him being killed by a canister shot, shot from a Norwegian cannon.
Welcome back sabaton history!
Good to have you guys back!
