Sweden's emergence as an independent Nordic, and indeed European, power required continual military and economic growth, which in turn necessitated a constant supply of manpower. The initially piecemeal migration of private individuals from Scotland bringing both martial and mercantile skills to Sweden gradually grew into an informal alliance, albeit officially sanctioned by the Swedes, based on personal networks. Equally the impact of Sweden's support for the Scottish Covenanting movement on British state-formation is scrutinized. This fresh perspective on Scottish-Swedish connections is aimed at those interested in state-formation, migration studies, diplomatic developments, and military history.The Northern World ;5.Diplomatic relationsInternational relationsScotlandForeign relationsSwedenSwedenForeign relations1523-1718SwedenForeign relationsScotlandScotlandHistory17th centuryScotlandHistory16th centuryScotlandRelationsSwedenSwedenRelationsScotlandDiplomatic relations.International relations.327.4110485/09/031Grosjean Alexia1504420NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910783207003321An Unofficial Alliance, Scotland and Sweden 1569-16543733417UNINA
