How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by Dutch Republic, 1655. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
New Sweden was conquered by the Dutch Republic in 1655 and incorporated into the Dutch colony of New Netherland.

Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christina, Queen of Sweden | 1632 – 1654 | 22 years | ending not on record | |
| Charles X Gustav | 1654 – 1660 | 6 years | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1632 – 1660. Only 28 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
