The Treaty of Drottningholm, signed in 1791, represented a pivotal moment in the diplomatic relations between Sweden and Russia. This treaty emerged from a backdrop of military conflicts and political maneuvering that had characterized Swedish-Russian relations over the preceding decades. The negotiations were held at the picturesque Drottningholm Palace, located near Stockholm, a symbol of Swedish monarchy and power. The agreement sought to clarify boundaries and trade regulations, ultimately aiming to maintain peace in the Baltic region. One of the defining elements of the treaty was its effort to stabilize the territorial arrangements established in earlier treaties, particularly those following the Great Northern War and the Russo-Swedish War of 1788-1790. The presence of both Swedish royal and Russian imperial representatives highlighted the treaty's importance. The treaty was viewed as a diplomatic win for both parties, enabling Sweden to maintain some semblance of influence and control over its territories while allowing Russia to assert its own interests in the Baltic Sea area.
