Quick Summary

The Treaties of Stockholm, signed in 1719 and 1720, concluded the Second Northern War between Sweden and its adversaries, including Denmark, Saxony, and Poland. These treaties marked a significant shift in Baltic power dynamics.1

Key outcomes included:
* Sweden returned to its pre-war territorial status with Saxony and Poland.1
* Denmark received monetary compensation from Sweden for its conquests.1
* Sweden ceded territories to Prussia, including Bremen and parts of Pomerania.1

These agreements, alongside the Treaty of Nystad in 1721, signaled the decline of Swedish dominance in the Baltic and the rise of Russia as a major regional power.1
