Blekinge

Blekinge is a province in southeastern Sweden on the Baltic coast. Formerly Danish, it was ceded to Sweden by the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, along with Scania, Halland and other territories. The acquisition helped establish the boundaries of modern Sweden at the height of the Swedish Empire.
