The War of Liberation started in January 1521 when Gustav Vasas led a small army and sacked the the city of Västerås in an effort to depose Danish King Christian II from ruling over Swedish provinces. The war ran from 1521 to 1523 with Gustav being victorious and liberating Sweden from the Danes.
At the end of the war in 1523 Gustav would become the ruling monarch (Gustav I) and successfully united the provinces of Sweden and established a strong central government. Gustav's success as both a liberator and ruler has labeled him as the founder of modern Sweden and father of the nation.
