Sweden declares war on the United Kingdom

Sweden formally declared war on the United Kingdom in November 1810, following the Treaty of Paris and the Continental System.

The declaration resulted from Sweden's defeat in earlier wars and the Treaty of Paris, which forced Sweden to join the Continental System. The exact date is disputed, though sources mention November 1810. The conflict remained largely on paper, with trade continuing.
