Dano-Swedish War (1657–58)
The
Dano-Swedish War of 1657–58
was a conflict between
Sweden
and
Denmark–Norway
during the
Second Northern War
. In 1657,
Charles X of Sweden
and his Swedish army were
bogged down
in
Poland
.
Frederick III
saw this as an opportunity to recover
the territories lost in 1645
and attacked Sweden. The outbreak of war with Denmark provided Charles with an excuse to withdraw from the Polish campaign and move against Denmark.
