By the **Treaty of Copenhagen (1660)**, concluded after his death, Sweden returned **Bornholm** and **Trøndelag**, while retaining Scania, Blekinge, Halland and Bohuslän — establishing essentially the modern Swedish–Danish–Norwegian border. |

| mistral-large-2512 | 0% | Under the **Treaty of Roskilde (1658)**, the **Swedish Empire**, under **King Charles X Gustav**, acquired several territories from **Denmark-Norway** as a result of Sweden's victory in the **Second Northern War (1655–1660)**. The key provinces and territories ceded to Sweden were: ### **From Denmark (proper):** 1. **Skåne (Scania)** – The southernmost province of modern Sweden, including the cities of **Malmö, Lund, and Helsingborg**. 2. **Blekinge** – A coastal province in southeastern Sweden, including **Karlskrona** (later a major naval base). 3. **Halland** – A western coastal province, including **Halmstad**. 4. **Bornholm** – A Danish island in the Baltic Sea (though Sweden later lost it in **1660** under the **Treaty of Copenhagen**). 5. **Trøndelag (Norwegian territory)** – The central region of Norway, including **Trondheim (Nidaros)**, though Sweden lost this in **1660** as well. ### **From Norway (then under Danish rule):** 6. **Båhuslen (Bohuslän)** – A western coastal region, including **Uddevalla** and the fortress of **Båhus**. 7. **Jämtland and Härjedalen** – Inland Norwegian provinces bordering Sweden (still part of Sweden today). ### **Additional Terms:** - Denmark also ceded the island of **Hven (Ven)** in the Øresund strait. - Sweden gained control of the **Øresund (Sound) tolls**, a major economic advantage. - Denmark had to recognize Sweden’s control over the **Baltic Sea** and limit its navy. ### **Later Adjustments (Treaty of Copenhagen, 1660):** After Sweden’s defeat in the **Dano-Swedish War (1658–1660)**, the **Treaty of Copenhagen (1660)** forced Sweden to return: - **Bornholm** (to Denmark) - **Trøndelag** (to Norway) ### **Permanent Swedish Gains (Still Part of Sweden Today):** - **Skåne, Blekinge, Halland, Båhuslen, Jämtland, Härjedalen** These acquisitions significantly expanded Sweden’s territory, particularly in the south, making it a dominant Baltic power. However, the loss of **Bornholm and Trøndelag** in 1660 marked a partial reversal of Sweden’s gains. |
