Description: On September 17, 1809, the peace treaty between Sweden and Russia was signed in Fredrikshamn. In the peace treaty it was decided that six Finnish provinces, as well as Åland and part of Västerbotten were to be handed over to Russia. The new Russian-Swedish border now stretched through the Sea of Åland, the Gulf of Bothnia, as well as Torne and Muonio River. Sweden were committed to join Continental System, and stop trade with the United Kingdom. The treaty also regulated the release of prisoners of war.
