Livonia, was a
domionion of
Sweden from the
1620s until
1721. Swedish
Livonia, which constituted the southern part of
Estonia and nortern part of
Latvia, represented the conquest of nearly all of what was
Polish Livonia and was completed by
1629. Even if Livonia and the city of
Riga was under Swedish control the territory was not formally ceded until the peace treaty between Poland and Sweden in
1660, where the minor part retained by Poland had been renamed
Inflantia[?].
The dominion was ruled by appointed
Swedish Governors General, but retained its own
diet.
Sweden in turn ceded Livonia to Russia at the Treaty of Nystad in 1721.
