Sweden itself may be considered in four main physical divisions - the mountains and highland district, covering all Norrland and the western part of Svealand; the lowlands of central Sweden; the so-called Sma.land highlands, in the south and southeast; and the plains of Ska.ne, occupying the extreme southward projection of the peninsula.
The population of Sweden in 1900 was 5,136,441.
In Sweden, however, both the Vestgotar and the Upland Sviar were discontented, the former on account of the breaking of the king's promise to Olaf of Norway and the latter on account of the introduction of the new religion, and their passions were further inflamed by the lawman Anund of Skara.
Sweden was historically divided into the four lands: Götaland, Svealand, Norrland and Österland.
Götaland and Svealand were in Sweden's prehistoric times known in folklore and legends, and fragmentary foreign sources, as rival kingdoms, before being united under one Crown by Svea kings.
After the Finnish War (1808-1809) the eastern half of Sweden was ceded to Russia, thus becoming the Imperial Russian Grand Duchy of Finland.
