As for this American, I know of King Karl XII, and can (probably) recall on any given day that he was from Northern/Scandinavian Europe. I can also vaguely recall a series of wars, or as you state, one long war, in the 18th Century involving Eastern Europe and Scandinavian countries. Aside from that, I wouldn't remember much, even the details of the combatants (except for lucky guesses or vague recollections). But when mentioned in passing, or in brief detail (such as you mentioned above), I will recognise what you're talking about... but I couldn't name a single prominent battle or general. I'd even be fuzzy on tactics and weaponry (although, once again, I could probably make several well-educated guesses).

Hope this response doesn't generate any ill-will! :)
