Bornholm

Bornholm is a Danish island in the Baltic Sea. It was ceded to Sweden by the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, together with Scania, Blekinge, Halland and Norwegian provinces, at the height of the Swedish Empire. The islanders rebelled against Swedish rule and Bornholm was returned to Denmark in 1660.
