Polish–Swedish wars

1600 - 1629

The Polish–Swedish Wars were a series of wars between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Sweden. Broadly construed, the term refers to a series of wars between 1563 and 1721. More narrowly, it refers to particular wars between 1600 and 1629. These are the wars included under the broader use of the term:
the 16th century conflict sometimes referred to as the Livonian War
the War against Sigismund, in 1598
the war of 1600–1629 which was twice interrupted by periods of truce and can be divided into:
the war of 1600–1611
the war of 1617–18
the war of 1621–1625
the war of 1626–1629
the conflicts in the second half of the 17th century known as The Deluge
the Great Northern War.
the War of the Fourth Coalition, in which Poland, by then partitioned, was represented by the Polish Legions in Napoleonic service
the last Polish–Swedish War was the War of the Sixth Coalition, because the Duchy of Warsaw was a Napoleonic ally, whereas the Kingdom of Sweden was a member of the anti-Napoleonic coalition.
