Map of Scandinavia AD 1581 |
|
In the near-three centuries since 1300 the Norwegians and Swedes had massively increased their dominance of the once-uncharted northern depths of Fenno-Scandinavia. Denmark now dominated Norway, although Denmark's kings had to be approved on paper by Norway's nobles before they could claim to be kings of Norway itself. Novgorod was gone, replaced by the czarate of the Russias which now dominated the east and threatened the various Baltic states. Germanic control of the latter had crystallised in the form of Livonia while Lithuania had united with Poland to form a joint commonwealth.
