Russo-Swedish War 1788-1790
King Gustav
III of Sweden wasn't
happy with his country's borders.
|
|
The borders between Sweden and Russia had been defined in 1743 by
means of the Treaty of Åbo.
Gustav didn't like that treaty either.
He secured some British muscle and felt
strong enough to declare war on mighty Russia. He wasn't. The Swedes
lost. The borders remained according to the agreement of the Treaty
of Åbo.
The
Treaty of Värälä settled the deal. One of the diplomats
involved was Swedish
Gustaf Mauritz
Armfelt.
