    Amazing documentary. I had the privilege to visit this wonderful artifact of history. It was very impressive, and massive credits to the Swedes for preserving this in an equally impressive museum.

    This is the most clear and concise description of the Vasa that I've heard. Really well done. You should do similar short documentaries about various lesser known nations (or interesting events in connection to them) available at the start date of the game to inspire new playthroughs!

      Lesser known nations?? You must be an American citizen. A big part of the US has a heritage of the more than one million immigrants
      from Sweden. When the Wasa ship sunk the native ` Indians` ruled most of the US. I am sorry that you don't have the same quality in your
      education system that we have in most of Europe.

    Sweden is a goldmine for those interested in history. They managed to avoid both world wars so much is preserved. Much of Stockholm's inner city was demolished in the 50s, but there are plenty of castles and museums.

    I didn't know the part about how they knew they ship was unstable and had to launch it anyway. Reminds me so much about the space shuttle Challenger disaster.

    • @JH-lo9ut
      @JH-lo9ut 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It is a really interesting case of a blame-game where in the end, both the king who ordered the ship, and the master shipwright were deceased. In the end, nobody was really held responsible for the disaster.
      The test where the 30 sailors ran back and forth across the deck was a standard stability test carried out while loading the ballast.
      It was fairly common that new ships were deemed too unstable and had to be modified before they went into serious action.
      At the time, there were no mathematical models to calculate stability, so they had to refer to experience of shipwrights and sailors.
      When experimenting with an entirely new type of ship, like Vasa, they basically had to wing it.

    I would say the most interesting aspect of the Wasa history is the agancy born out of its sinking, the FMV, a military agancy to this day looking at military system at system level to ensure the entire system works together to not repeat the error of having an aditional gun deck making the vessel itself unstable.

      tbf ships dont really randomly sink in EU aside from the sweden specific event, either you lose them in battle meaning the ship is completely destroyed or the entire crew starves in the middle of the pacific when youre trying to circumnavigate the world meaning its nearly impossible to find

    How many times must we hear about the ship that sank in her maiden voyage and was pratically irrelevant in military terms and even historically speaking? I mean, in all games made by Paradox this ship is given great importance, while the real ships that were important are left unspoken. Sweden isn't overpowered right? The documentary might be more than well done, but even if so, doesn't change my point.

    • @Times_Ticking
      @Times_Ticking 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The Swedes did have some innovative naval artillery and ship designs, but overall, the Swedish navy was design built for the Baltic Sea. They never amounted to much outside of their home waters.

      @@dennislindqvist1265 Being a beauty or not is irrelevant for actual history or in military terms. Also there are countless ships that were far superior and the "ultimate battleship" of their time that are left unspoken in their games. Forgive me for my ramble, but I am somewhat fed up with this ship myself since they keep bringing it up as if it was ever relevant or an ultimate weapon. In HOI4 you even have the choice of creating a super modern battleship of this great ship that sank on its maiden voyage. But the big ships? The real big ships? No one even speaks about them. At least in their games (of course I am not taking in consideration ships belonging to the UK/England or one or another ship belonging to 1 or another superpower). For instance, the ships that had more cannons in the world are never spoken of. I bet they are not even aware of their existance. But they obviously care a lot for this beautiful and obviously _POWERFUL_ ship that sank shortly after being launched. 🤣
