Years: 1396 - 1539
A revolt against the Kalmar Union, under the leadership of a Swedish noble named Gustav Vasa, results in 1523 in the creation of a Swedish state separate from Denmark.
Vasa becomes king of Sweden, as Gustav I Vasa, and he founds a dynasty that will rule Sweden-Finland for more than a century.
He is generally credited with establishing the modern Swedish state.
Under his rule, Finland remains integrated with the Swedish state, and the Swedish-Finnish nobility retains its primacy over local affairs.
