Description
During the seventeenth century English and Scottish merchants became an increasingly common sight in Swedish trade areas across the Baltic. Their capital and expertise contributed to providing an economic foundation that was vital to the development of not one, but two colonial powers. This paper analyses the role that British merchants played in sourcing Swedish goods that would become the backbone of British naval might, as well as the role such individuals played in advancing Sweden's own economy and industry.
