Gustav III

King of Sweden , eldest son of Adolf Frederick and Princess Louise Ulrike of Prussia . He succeeded to the Swedish throne when his father died of a stroke .

With the support of royalists , he appointed the Royal Guard and staged a coup , overturning the parliamentary system that had lasted for 50 years after the death of Charles Under the influence of the Enlightenment, various social reforms were attempted, but they did not have much effect due to discord with the nobles. To overcome this, the Russian War was launched in 1788 under the pretext of recovering Kariala, which had been lost to Catherine II in 1721 and 1743 . Svenskund, 1790[1] Through their complete victory in the naval battle , they concluded the Treaty of Berele in 1790, jointly responding to the French Revolution and abolishing the Russian Empire 's interference in the internal affairs of the Russian Empire. However, they did not succeed in recovering the actual ground that was the cause of the war, and in the middle of the war, a group of Finnish officers were discovered plotting the Anala treason, which served as a turning point in the division between Sweden and Finland .

Post-war Association and Security Act (Förenings- och säkerhetsakten)[2] Relations with the nobles deteriorated irreparably, and in 1792 On March 16 , he was assassinated at a masquerade ball by his former bodyguard, Captain Johan Anckarström (1762-1792) . To be exact, he did not die immediately, but survived by having the bullet removed through surgery after being shot by Angkarström. However, unlike in modern times, the surgery was not hygienic and the infection was so severe that he died of sepsis and pneumonia at the Royal Palace in Stockholm on March 29, 1792 due to the aftereffects . The funeral was held at Riddarholm Church , where he will be buried . The criminal, Angkarström, was arrested, tortured, and beheaded . After his death, his 14-year-old son ascended the throne as Gustav IV Adolf and became regent for his younger brother , Karl, Duke of Södermanland .

His death marked the end of the king's absolute monarchy in Swedish history .

Personally, he was a lover of baroque culture and was immersed in French culture as a result of studying in France as a child , and often visited France using the pseudonym Count Haga. The art he collected remains today in Gustav III:s antikmuseum at Stockholm's Royal Palace, and at Drottningholms slott near Stockholm , Gustav III's Royal Opera (Drottningholms slottsteater) can be explored on a guided tour.

He wanted to ban coffee because he thought it was bad for his health, but when he got a lot of opposition, he tried to prove it through an experiment . Instead of giving the twins life imprisonment, he made one drink coffee every day and the other drink tea. However, he was assassinated before he could see the results of the experiment. The brother who drank tea lived to be 83 years old, but the brother who only drank coffee is said to have lived longer. The problem is that the doctors who studied this died first, so there is no longer a record of when this person died. In any case, because this experiment failed to prove the harmfulness of coffee, the Swedish royal family never dreamed of banning coffee.

Since Queen Christina, he has been a great nerve in Finland . The city has granted city laws to Tampere and Cuopio , and has reorganized some parts of the Finnish region .
