Varala, Peace Treaty of 1790

    0.01 sec.
Värälä, Peace Treaty of (1790) 

concluded between Russia and Sweden after the Russo-Swedish War of 1788-90.

The Peace Treaty of Värälä was signed on August 3 (14), in Värälä, Finland. Both sides were interested in the fastest possible conclusion of peace: Sweden because of war exhaustion, and Russia because of the continuing war with Turkey and the hostile attitude of England and Prussia. The Peace Treaty of Värälä essentially repeated the provisions of the Peace of Abo of 1743 and did not introduce any territorial changes. Its chief significance lay in Sweden’s renunciation of its alliance with Turkey and Russia’s renunciation of the provisions of the Nystadt and Abo treaties, which had given Russia the right to interfere in Sweden’s domestic affairs. The Peace Treaty of Värälä contributed to the growth of Russia’s international prestige.
