Original sentence: But the Russian demands did not lead to peace, and the war was resumed.But the defeats of at the Battle of Sävar and Battle of Ratan August 19 and August 20, 1809 broke the spirit of the Swedish Army; and peace was obtained by the surrender of the entire Finland, the Åland islands, "the fore-posts of Stockholm," as Napoleon described them, and Västerbotten and Lappland as far as the rivers of Torneå and Muonio at the Treaty of Fredrikshamn, on September 17, 1809.Its immediate consequence in Sweden proper was the deposition of Gustav IV on March 13, 1809, and the subsequent exclusion of his whole family from the succession.The whole of this intermediate period is full of plots and counterplots, some still inexplicable, as, for instance, the Fersen murder on June 20, 1810 evidently intended to terrorize the Gustavians, whose loyalty to the ancient dynasty was notorious
Edited sentence: But indeed the whole of this intermediate period is full of dark subterranean plots and counterplots, still inexplicable, as, for instance, the hideous Fersen murder on June 20, 1810 evidently intended to terrorize the Gustavians, whose loyalty to the ancient dynasty was notorious.But the Russian demands were too humiliating, and the war was resumed.But the defeats of at the Battle of Sävar and Battle of Ratan August 19 and August 20, 1809 broke the spirit of the Swedish Army; and peace was obtained by the sacrifice of the entire Finland, the Åland islands, "the fore-posts of Stockholm," as Napoleon rightly described them, and Västerbotten and Lappland as far as the rivers of Torneå and Muonio at the Treaty of Fredrikshamn, on September 17, 1809.Its immediate consequence in Sweden proper was the deposition of Gustav IV on March 13, 1809, who was clearly incapable of governing.The nobility took advantage of this opportunity to pay off old scores against Gustav III by excluding not only his unhappy son but also that son's whole family from the succession - an act of injustice which has never been adequately defended
