Treaty of Oliva
The
Treaty of Oliva, or
Peace of Oliva was a treaty signed between
Sweden and
Poland, at Oliva, near
Gdansk in
Poland, on
April 23,
1660. In the treaty
John II of Poland renounced his claims to the Swedish
Crown, which his father
Sigismund III, had lost in
1599. In it Poland also formally ceded
Livonia, and the city of
Riga, which had been under Swedish control since the
1620s.
The treaty finally settled conflicts that had been left standing in the War against Sigismund (1598-1599), Polish War (1600-1629) and the Nordic Wars (1655-1660) between Sweden and Poland.
