The Northern Wars (1655–1661) (Polish: Druga Wojna Północna, Second Northern War) is a name sometimes used for the series of conflicts between Sweden and its adversaries Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (The Deluge, 1655–1660), Russia (1656–1661), Brandenburg-Prussia (1657–1660), the Holy Roman Empire (1657–60) and Denmark-Norway (1657–1658, 1658–1660). The same wars are sometimes referred differently in other countries: for example in Poland The Deluge sometimes is a name for the series of wars against Sweden, Brandenburg, Russia, Transylvania and Cossacks. In these conflicts England was consistently an ally of Sweden whereas the Dutch Republic often intervened against the Swedes.
