Sweden long had commercial and cultural ties with the Baltic region of Pommerania. Home to a mixture of Germans, Poles, and Swedes, the territory came under direct control of the Swedish kings after it was occupied by the armies of Gustavus Adolphus during the Thirty Years War. Official recognition of Swedish authority in Pommerania was granted by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. The Swedish kings and queens would control the territory until it was lost to Napoléon in 1807 and ultimately given to Prussia in the Congress of Vienna.
