Surrenders
The Stockholm Declaration of Peace of April 28, 1729 describes the treaty between King Frederick of Sweden and King August II of Poland , which formally abolished the state of war between Sweden and Saxony-Poland , which had existed since the Great Northern War . The declaration thus had the meaning of a peace treaty .
prehistory
In the Great Northern War from 1700 to 1721, Sweden first waged a war against Saxony-Poland from 1700 to 1706 and from 1709 to 1719 . At Altranstädt in Kursachsen , the Saxon Elector and Polish King August II had to sign a peace treaty on September 24, 1706 which forced him to renounce the Polish crown. After a renewed alliance with Russia in the Treaty of Thorn , August received the Polish crown back in 1710 after another armed conflict on the side of Russia against Sweden. On August 15, 1710, Sweden vacated the occupied Polish territories around Posen and Greater Poland . However, no formal peace agreement was reached. Poland had sunk so deep in foreign policy that it was not involved in the formal peace agreements. There was only the unilateral armistice offer from Stockholm , which was not signed by the Polish-Saxon side. The de facto peace with Sweden was confirmed with a declaration in 1729.
The ratification of August took place on July 20, 1729.
content
The five-page agreement contains declarations of good relations between the two states. Discrepancies should be lifted, forgiven and forgotten. In addition, provisions are made about future peace and the status of the declaration as a formal instrument of peace is determined.
