Gotland prospered as a major trade center of N Europe, but internal strife between the Hanse merchants and local tradesmen weakened the county. Gotland was conquered by the Swedish king, Magnus I (Magnus Ladulas) in 1280, and later was taken by Waldemar IV of Denmark in 1361 and by the Hanseatic League in 1370. Soon after, Gotland became the base of wide-ranging pirates, and it gradually declined in importance. By the Treaty of Stettin in 1570, Gotland passed under Danish rule; by the Peace of Brömsebro in 1645 it was returned to Sweden. The county has many fine churches and ruined castles.

Gotland

the largest island in the Baltic Sea; part of Sweden. Chief town and port, Visby. Population, 54,100 (1970); area, 2,960 sq km. The surface is a plateau whose highest elevation is 83 m, and the island is made up primarily of Silurian limestones. Its shores are steep, particularly in the northwest. Karst forms of relief are widespread. The climate is temperate and marine, and the average annual precipitation is more than 500 mm. Coniferous (mostly spruce) and broad-leaved forests occupy 44 percent of the land area. There are peat bogs. The main agricultural crops are rye, oats, sugar beets, flax, and potatoes. Sheep raising, mining limestone, cement, food-processing industries, and tourism are important.

At the beginning of the Common Era Gotland was settled by Germanic tribes. (The name “Gotland” is possibly derived from “Goths.”) During the Middle Ages Gotland and the town Visby were important transit points for Baltic trade. Although nominally belonging to Sweden, Gotland was in fact an independent republic with its own municipal law. In 1361 it was occupied and devastated by the Danes. Under the Peace of Brömsebro of 1645 it was returned to Sweden. A naval battle between German and Russian warships took place off Gotland on July 19 (Aug. 2). 1915, during World War I.
