The Swedish Revolution was the work of three nations, all foes at heart,
endeavoring to effect a common object on utterly divergent grounds.
Gustavus wished to free his country from a tyrant's rule, while
Fredrik's purpose was to gain the throne of Denmark, and Lubeck's was to
crush her rival in the Baltic trade. Without the alliance of these three
parties, it is not likely that any one of them could have gained his
end. So long, therefore, as the common object was in view, each felt an
assurance that the others would not fail. It was only when Christiern's
power was altogether gone that this triple alliance was dissolved.
