Ulf Eskil Erik Sundberg (born 29 September 1956) is a Swedish economist, historian and author of books and magazine articles. [1] [2]

Contents

Sundberg was born in Stockholm, graduated Studentexamen at Whitlockska in 1976 and became a Master of Philosophy in 2014. He was created Doctor of Philosophy at Åbo Academy in 2018 on a thesis addressing the loss of the Swedish Empire early in the 18th century. Sundberg is especially skeptical in that book about the inadequate circumstances under which his country’s many outlying fortifications were positioned and maintained, as well as about the planning, construction and remodeling of them by Erik Dahlberg under King Carl XI. [3]

Earlier, he has primarily treated the centuries of warfare in which Sweden and neighboring countries were involved. On a broader field, one of his more noted books is also about the families and relatives of Swedish royalty, including mistresses and extramarital offspring. [4]

Denmark–Sweden relations Bilateral relations

Denmark–Sweden relations relate to Denmark and Sweden. These two countries have a very long history of interaction. The inhabitants of each speak related North Germanic languages, which have a degree of mutual intelligibility. Both countries formed part of the Kalmar Union between 1397 and 1523, but there exists an inherited cultural competition between Sweden and Denmark. From 1448 to 1790 the two kingdoms went to war against each other at nearly every opportunity; in more than one case a new king tried to prove his worth by waging war on the other country for little or no political reason. Eleven Dano-Swedish wars took place between 1521 and 1814.
