Frederick IV of Denmark vs Prithvi Narayan Shah

Frederick IV joined the Great Northern War against Sweden, forming an alliance with Russia and Saxony. Denmark's early campaigns failed, leading to the Treaty of Travendal in 1700, which temporarily removed Denmark from the war.

After Sweden's defeat at Poltava, Frederick IV re-entered the Great Northern War. Danish forces invaded Scania but were repelled at the Battle of Helsingborg in 1710, failing to regain lost territories.

Frederick IV signed the Treaty of Frederiksborg ending the Great Northern War for Denmark. Denmark gained the Duchy of Schleswig but failed to recover Scania, and Sweden paid a war indemnity.

Prithvi Narayan Shah's forces captured the strategic town of Kirtipur after a prolonged siege. The victory was crucial for controlling the Kathmandu Valley and demonstrated his military strategy, though it involved heavy casualties on both sides.

Prithvi Narayan Shah conquered the Kathmandu Valley, defeating the Malla kingdoms of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. This victory unified the valley under his rule and marked the foundation of the modern state of Nepal.

After unifying the Kathmandu Valley, Prithvi Narayan Shah proclaimed the Kingdom of Nepal, with Kathmandu as its capital. He established the Shah dynasty, which ruled Nepal until 2008, and laid the administrative foundations of the state.

Prithvi Narayan Shah delivered the Divyopadesh, a set of political and strategic instructions to his successors. The counsel emphasized nationalism, self-reliance, and the importance of maintaining Nepal's independence from British India and China.
