nIt’s hard to be sure of these dates, because sources available to my internet searches don’t totally agree, but it looks like today’s date, June 6, is very important in Swedish history.
Gustav Vasa was elected king of Sweden on June 6, 1523.
Sweden adopted a new constitution on June 6, 1809.
n
n
n
nAnd Sweden and Norway broke their union on June 6, 1905. Because of that break, each nation needed its own flag.
n

n
