This article needs an introduction, it just dives right into some dense history with nothing to explain the context or the bigger picture. Night Gyr 13:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I noticed in the picture found at this address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition that the demograhpic data for Sweden shows a very high peak in CDR (crude death rate) for years 1772-1774. That made me curious and I was seeking here some kind of explanation. Was there any big war in that period?

There is no context to this article whatsoever. Please, someone add an introduction.194.109.198.99 16:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Gustav III and IV never ruled as true absolute monarchs because the Riksdag still had the right to impose taxes.

Karl XI and XII were true autocrats. / Anonymous Swede
