During the Thirty Years’ War from 1618-1648, Bogislav XIV, the last duke of Pomerania, governed with limited power and imperial troops of the Habsburg emperor Ferdinand II occupied his territory. In 1630, the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus landed on the island of Usedom and forced Bogislav into an alliance against the Emperor. During this decade, Pomerania suffered from the garrisons of troops, violence and destruction. After Bogislav’s death in 1637 and negotiations for the peace of Westphalia 11 years later, the western part of Pomerania became Swedish. In the peace of Stockholm (1720), however, Sweden had to concede the territory South of the river Peene to Prussia.
