Note 104 — Chapter V · ADMINISTRATION OF OCCUPIED TERRITORY
J. H. (John Hartman) Morgan translation
The King of Denmark in 1715, whilst Charles XII, after the Battle of Pultawa, stayed for years in Bender, sold the conquered principalities of Bremen and Verden to the King of England, Elector of Hanover, before England had yet declared war on Sweden. This undoubtedly unlawful act of England first received formal recognition in the Peace of Stockholm, 1720.
