Seskarö rebellion
From Warlike
Q10666478
As a consequence of the 1917 food shortage in Sweden, the residents of Seskarö went against the authority of the Swedish government by forcibly purchasing bread from local bakeries when the supplies from the mainland failed to reach demand. Later attempts by authorities to put the perpetrators of these forced purchases to justice sparked a confrontation with the Seskarö residents resulting in a temporary expulsion of all government power from the island by May 30. However, later reinforcements from the Norbotten regiment once again put Seskarö in government hands in June.
