Treaty of Stockholm (Great Northern War)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 Great Northern War between Sweden on one side and Hannover and Prussia. 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.
