The bloodless war, however, existed only on paper, and the UK was still not hindered in stationing ships at the Swedish island of Hanö and trade with the Baltic states.

The Treaty of Paris, concluded on 6 January 1810, forced Sweden to join the Continental System, a trade embargo against the UK.

[2] No acts of war occurred during the conflict and the UK was even allowed to station boats in Hanö, thus "occupying" the island.

When France occupied Swedish Pomerania and the island of Rügen in 1812, Sweden sought peace with the UK.

On the same day and at the same place, the UK and Russia signed a peace treaty to end the Anglo–Russian War (1807–1812).
