Years: 1762 - 1762
The unpopularity in Sweden of the costly and futile Pomeranian War means that the Hats' control of government begins to falter and the confusion the war causes leads to a deficit that will resultsi n their fall in 1765.
The death of Elizabeth of Russia in January 1762 changes the whole political situation in Europe.
A Russo-Prussian alliance, formalized on May 5, threatens to make Russia an enemy not an ally of Sweden.
The secret committee had thus decided on March 13 of this year that Sweden will seek a separate peace.
Via the queen's mediation, the Swedes sign the peace of Hamburg with Prussia and Mecklenburg on May 22, accepting their defeat—Prussia and Sweden are restored to the status quo ante bellum.
