Information:  - The Swedish Empire refers to the Kingdom of Sweden's territorial control of much of the Baltic region during the 17th and early 18th centuries, a time when Sweden was one of the great European powers. The beginning of the Empire is usually taken as the reign of Gustavus Adolphus, who ascended the throne in 1611, and the end as the loss of territories in 1721 following the Great Northern War. In Swedish history, the period is referred to as "stormaktstiden", literally meaning "the Great Power era".  - Yakov Karlovich Grot ( Russian :    ) ( December 27 ( O.S.
