Best Answer

Sweden established its independence on 6 June 1523.

AnswerSweden became independent from the Kalmar Union in 1523, but even when Sweden was a part of Kalmar Union, it did have some independence but most of the power in the union was held by Denmark.

The Kalmar Union was established in 1397 but Sweden had been an independent country before 1397, so exactly when Sweden became a country is unknown.

The first king that historians are certain to have ruled both Gothaland and Svitjod. (In modern Swedish Götaland and Svealand) was Olof Skötkonung who ruled between 993-1022 AD. But some earlier claims exist, and because of the very low priority of keeping history records by the Vikings, no one will probably ever know for certain. But most historians agree that it is very likely someone ruled both lands at some point.
