Treaty of Stockholm (Great Northern War)

Treaty of Stockholm (Great Northern War)

With the death of Charles XII of Sweden in 1718 it was obvious that the Great Northern War was coming to a close. His successor Frederick I began negotiating the Treaty of Stockholm, which refers to the two treaties signed in 1719 and 1720 that ended the war between Sweden on one side and Hanover and Prussia on the other. The last remains of the conflict were then resolved by signing the Treaty of Frederiksborg with Denmark-Norway in 1720 and the Treaty of Nystad with Russia in 1721.

Treaty with Hanover

In the treaty with Hanover on November 9, 1719, Sweden ceded the dominion of Bremen-Verden.

Treaty with Prussia

In the treaty with Prussia on January 21, 1720, Sweden ceded Stettin (Szczecin), Swedish Pomerania south of the river Peene, the islands of Usedom and Wollin, and the towns of Damm and Gollnow.
