Which side was Sweden on during the Seven Years' War?
Short answerSweden fought with Russia against Prussia, then sought a settlement restoring the pre-war position.
NotesSweden fought alongside Russia in the coalition against Prussia. That alignment brought Swedish naval forces into the Baltic struggle described elsewhere in the lecture. Swedish leaders nevertheless feared the consequences of continuing a land war against Frederick's army. Their eventual preference was an agreement that returned the parties to their pre-war positions.
