Due to the split in 1809 of Sweden proper, and the creation of the Imperial Russian Grand Duchy of Finland that would ultimately declare its independence in 1917, distinctions between the history of Sweden and the history of Finland are often hard to make.

Therefore, see also: Category:History of Finland.

Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should directly contain very few, if any, pages and should mainly contain subcategories.
