So why were Gustavus and his Swedish army even in Saxony to fight Tilly? And more importantly, how did the Swedes have such an advantage over their Imperial counterparts even before the battle lines were drawn, and how did they succeed in pulling victory from the jaws of defeat, not just defeating an army under an undefeated general, but destroying it? Aspects of professionalism, discipline, hitting power, maneuverability, reaction to situations, and integration of infantry, cavalry and artillery must all be analysed to answer this question. Gustavus had led his army through Denmark, Russia, and Poland, and had established Sweden as a rising European power. The Thirty Years War was becoming one of the bloodiest conflicts in Europe, as the loose collection of Germanic tribes in the Holy Roman Empire split between Catholics and Protestants.

During the 110-year period from 1855 to 1964, there are a several turning points in the development of Russian government in terms of its ideology, structure and practice of which the most significant events are the abolition of serfdom in 1861 which emancipation was introduced, the Bolshevik’s takeover in October 1917, in which it crushed all possibility that liberal democracy might emerge into Russian to the world’s first Communist state and Stalin’s acquisition of power in 1928. The main ideological turning points of the development of Russian government were the abdication of Russia’s last Tsar, Nicholas II, in February 1917, and the Bolshevik’s takeover in Oct 1917, of which the first indicates the end of autocracy while the later indicates the establishment of Communism. Between both, the Bolshevik’s takeover seems to be a more important turning point. In theory, both events are important turning points in the history of the development of the Russian Government, but the February Revolution is not as important is the October Revolution, because the fall of autocracy led to a change to liberal democratic government, which did not last long due to small impact to the country, however the rise of Communism from the fall of liberal democratic government had a massive impact on the development of the government, as the later events, such as the establishment of the One-Day Parliament, Stalin’s acquisition of power occurred based on different views towards the ideology of Communism. The fall of autocratic system is significant in the change of ideology of the Russian government, as it had marked the end of Tsarism, but the October Revolution in 1917 is a more important turning point of the development of the government, as based on Communism, the Russian government had changes in its structure and practices later on.
