The Polish–Swedish War (1563–1568), also called the First Polish War (Swedish: Första Polska Kriget) (Polish: Wojna polsko-szwedzka (1563–1568) was waged primarily in the Baltic during the larger Northern Seven Years' War between Sweden and the Polish–Lithuanian union, the Duchy of Courland, parts of the Livonian nobility, and Estonian rebels from 1563 to 1568. The war ultimately ended when John III became the King of Sweden, resulting in a Swedish victory.
