Abstract

The development of the Swedish nation state in the 16th century took place in conflict with Lübeck and the Hanseatic League which at that time dominated trade in the Baltic Sea. Sweden gained its independency by breaking away from the Nordic “great state” of the Kalmar Union times established under the rule of Denmark. The rivalry between Sweden and Denmark for a leading position in Scandinavia was for a long time one of the fundamental premises of the foreign policy of the former.
