The Swedish Empire (Swedish: stormaktstiden, "the era of great power") refers to the Kingdom of Sweden's territorial control of much of the Baltic region during the 17th and early 18th centuries, a time when Sweden was one of the great European powers.[1] The beginning of the Empire is usually taken as the reign of Gustavus Adolphus, who ascended the throne in 1611, and the end as the loss of territories in 1721 following the Great Northern War. In Swedish history, the period is referred to as stormaktstiden, literally meaning "the Great Power era".[1]

After the death of Gustavus Adolphus in 1632, the empire was, over lengthy periods, controlled by part of the high nobility, most prominently the Oxenstierna family, acting as tutors for minor regents. The interests of the high nobility contrasted with the uniformity policy (i.e., the upholding of the traditional equality in status of the Swedish estates favoured by the kings and peasantry). In territories acquired during the periods of de facto noble rule, serfdom was not abolished, and there was also a trend to set up respective estates in Sweden proper. The Great Reduction of 1680 put an end to these efforts of the nobility and required them to return estates once gained from the crown to the king. Serfdom, however, remained in force in the dominions acquired in the Holy Roman Empire and in Swedish Estonia, where a consequent application of the uniformity policy was hindered by the treaties by which they were gained.

After the victories in the Thirty Years' War, the climax of the great power era was reached during the Second Northern War, when their primary adversary Denmark was neutralized by the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. However, in the further course of this war as well as in the subsequent Scanian War, Sweden was able to maintain her empire only with support of her closest ally, France.[2] Charles XI of Sweden consolidated the empire and ensured a period of peace, before Russia, Saxony and Denmark started a concerted attack on his successor, Charles XII. After initial Swedish victories, Charles secured the empire for some time in the Peace of Travendal (1700) and the Treaty of Altranstädt (1706), before the Battle of Poltava (1709) finally brought the great power era of Sweden to an end.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The modern states that Sweden controlled in 1648 were Selesia and Pomerania.

Both territories had been its possessions since the signing of the Treaty of Stettin of 1630. Those territories had been occupied during the Thirty Years War. The Sweden Army used Pomerania to anchor its military incursions into German territory. Selesia was a territory located in what today is Poland and some parts of the Czech Republic.

Which of these ideas from the Declaration of Independence explains the proper purpose of government?
Naya [18.7K]

"To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men."

Explanation:

  • This document, called the Declaration of Independence, declares by itself that the 13 North American colonies are free and independent states and that all political ties with the Great Britain is interrupted and continues to explain the reasons for secession from the parent company.
  • It is in fact a continuation of Richard Henry Lee's Resolution adopted on July 2 by Congress, which was the first to proclaim the independence of the colonies. On August 2, 1776, an enlarged copy of this document was signed and signed by almost all congressmen of the time, and it is now kept in the US National Archives of Documents.
  • It also emphasizes that all people are created equal, their inalienable right to life, liberty and happiness. To exercise these rights, people create states and organize righteous authority. If this power is harmful, they can replace it, abolish it and establish a new state.
