The Swedish Empire flag was adopted in 1569 during the reign of King John III of Sweden. It features a blue background with a yellow cross and four yellow crowns in the corners, symbolizing the unity of Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Livonia.
During the 17th and early 18th centuries, the Swedish Empire was a major European power with territories extending from modern-day Finland to Estonia, Latvia, and parts of Germany. The Swedish Empire flag was flown during this period as a symbol of Swedish dominance in the region.
After the Great Northern War (1700-1721), Sweden lost much of its territory and power, and the Swedish Empire came to an end. However, the flag remains a symbol of Sweden's proud history and has been used on various occasions, such as during national holidays and military parades.
