| | WHKMLA : History of Sweden : Era of Liberty, 1718-1772 |
 | | In 1735 Sweden was the first christian nation to establish diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire (which the Swedes regarded a potential ally against the Russians). |
 | | During Sweden's age of liberty (a more contemporary expression), the country's constitution was based upon the ideas formulated by ERIC SPARRE (-1600) : the constitutional principle, the democratic principle, the bureaucratic principle, the corporative principle, the secrecy principle. |
 | | The period dominated by Rigsrad, the estates and their parties is called Sweden's ERA OF LIBERTY (1718-1772). |
