New Sweden was Sweden's only colony on mainland North America and survived for almost 20 years before being taken over by the Dutch. Sweden also held two Caribbean colonies: Saint Barthélemy and Guadeloupe. Saint Barthélemy was under Swedish control for almost 100 years, but was exchanged to the French. Guadeloupe was under Swedish control for about a year, then was taken back by the British, in which it was also taken by the French.
