Quick Summary

The Peace of Täysinä, signed in 1595, was a significant agreement that recognized the existing de facto boundary between Sweden-Finland and Russia, extending up to the Arctic Ocean. This treaty was part of a long history of interactions and conflicts between Sweden and Russia over territories in the Baltic region, including Finland.123

During this period, Finland was an integral part of the Swedish realm. The Peace of Stolbovo in 1617 further defined borders, with Russia ceding Ingermanland and part of Karelia to Sweden-Finland. While Finland played a role in Sweden's rise as a European power, its own importance within the kingdom gradually diminished.12
