1719 and 1720 peace treaties
The
Treaties of Stockholm
are two treaties signed in 1719 and 1720 that ended the war between
Sweden
and an alliance of
Hanover
and
Prussia
.
Aspects of the conflict that remained unresolved would be dealt with by two further treaties: the
Treaty of Frederiksborg
between Sweden and
Denmark-Norway
in 1720, which was a pure renewal of four previous treaties,
Treaty of Copenhagen
,
Malmo Recess
of 1662,
Treaty of Fontainebleau
, and the
Peace of Lund
(written in Stockholm in 1679);
[1]
and the
Treaty of Nystad
between Sweden and
Russia
in 1721.
Frederick I
began negotiating the Treaties of Stockholm following the death of
Charles XII of Sweden
in 1718. The death of the Swedish monarch heralded the impending conclusion of the
Great Northern War
.

.
Treaty with Prussia

On 21 January 1720, Sweden ceded
Swedish Pomerania
south of the river
Peene
and east of the river
Peenestrom
to
Prussia
, including the islands of
Usedom
and
Wollin
, and the towns of
Stettin
,
Damm
and
Gollnow
.
[2]
The treaty was formalized in 1720, and became effective when
Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia
issued a patent declaring the ceded area to be part of Prussia on 29 May 1720.
[2]
The parts of Swedish Pomerania that were to remain with Sweden were then under Danish occupation, and were restored to Sweden in the
Treaty of Frederiksborg
on 3 July 1720.
