Today (17th November) 1810 Sweden declared war on its ally Britain during the Napoleonic Wars to begin the Anglo-Swedish War, although no fighting ever took place! The declaration of war was the result of an ultimatum by France to the Swedish government that France and its allies would declare war against Sweden if Sweden did not meet the French demands to declare war on Britain, confiscate all British ships and seize all British products. The war existed only on paper, and Britain was still officially allowed to station ships in the Swedish port of Hanö and trade with the Baltic nations.

Interesting facts Andy ! I didn´t know about this, good thing it didn´t turn into a real war with possible bloodbaths.

I read on it before when I like to look up on history on my spare time. Thank god no actually fighting happen, although 2 years later, war of 1812 happened between America and Britain.
