All Modern-Day Countries Ever Controlled by Sweden
With the help of a map, can you guess all modern day countries that were at one point under Swedish rule from the 10th century (establishment of the Kingdom of Sweden) and up to now?
Click on the map to zoom in.
Excludes territories held in personal union. Includes joint tax territories.
Territories only occupied during the Thirty Years War and the Deluge not considered (in approximates in dark gray).
Territories held in personal union have been removed just now. However, Trøndelag will remain here due to its short-lived control between by Sweden 1658 and 1660.
Fun quiz! I vaguely remember hearing about Sweden holding some colonies in Africa, but I hadn't expect them to also be in Asia and the Americas. A nice challenge to recognize the location of the regions shown, too.
