Treaty of Åbo Concludes Russo-Swedish War

August 7th, 1743 281 years ago

The Treaty of Åbo was signed in 1743, marking the end of the Russo-Swedish War. Negotiated primarily between Sweden and Russia, this treaty saw the two powers formalize peace after years of conflict. One of the most interesting aspects was Russia's territorial gains in Finland, a significant shift in regional power dynamics. The agreement took place in Åbo, situated on the southwestern coast of Finland, and was driven by the need to stabilize the region following extensive military engagements.
