During the Napoleonic wars Sweden was allied with the United Kingdom, the only exception being the period 1810-1812. As a result of the Finnish War and pursuant to the Treaty of Fredrikshamn, Sweden declared war on the United Kingdom. The war existed on paper only, and Britain was still officially allowed to station ships in the Swedish port of Hanö and trade with the Baltic nations.
