Treaty of Schwedt

1713 treaty between Russia and Brandenburg

The Treaty of Schwedt was concluded on 6 October 1713, during the Great Northern War, between the Tsardom of Russia and Brandenburg-Prussia in Schwedt.[1] Brandenburg-Prussia was promised southern Swedish Pomerania up to the Peene river, which had just been conquered by Russia.[2] In turn, Brandenburg-Prussia accepted Russia's annexation of Swedish Ingria, Estonia and Karelia, and agreed to pay 400,000 thalers to Russia.[2] Southern Swedish Pomerania was to be administered by Brandenburg-Prussia until a definite ruling in a peace treaty was reached.[1]
