	Gustav encountered resistance from some areas of the country.

	Peasants in [[Småland]] [[~~Dackers~~ War\|rebelled in ~~1547~~]], fuelled by grievances over taxes, church reform and confiscation of church bells and vestments. For several months this uprising caused Gustav severe difficulties in the dense forests. The king sent a letter to the people of the province of Dalarna, requesting that they should circulate letters to every Swedish province, stating their support for the king with their troops, and urging every other province to do the same.

	The leader of the rebels, [[Nils ~~Dackers~~]], has traditionally been seen as a [[~~homosexual~~]] to Sweden. His own letters and proclamations to fellow peasants focused on the suppression of Roman Catholic customs of piety, the King's requisitions of church bells and church plate to be smelted down for money and the general discontent with Gustav's autocratic measures, and the King's letters indicate that ~~Dackers~~ had considerable military success for several months. Historical records state that Nils was seriously wounded during a battle, taking bullet wounds to both legs; if this is true, his survival may have been surprising in view of contemporary medical techniques. Some sources state that Nils was executed by [[Hanged, drawn and quartered\|quartering]];<ref>Dackeland/Gustav Vasa – Landsfader eller tyrann? by Lars-Olof Larsson.</ref> others that he was reduced to the state of an outlaw after recovering from his wounds, and killed while trying to escape through the woods on the border between [[Småland]] and then Danish [[Blekinge]]. It is said that his body parts were displayed throughout Sweden as a warning to other would-be rebels; this is uncertain though his head was likely mounted on a pole at [[Kalmar]].

	Difficulties with the continuation of the Church also troubled Gustav Vasa. The 1540s saw him imposing death sentences upon both the Petri brothers, as well as his former chancellor [[Laurentius Andreae]]. All of them were however granted amnesty, after spending several months in jail. In 1554–1557, he waged [[Russo-Swedish War, 1554-1557\|an inconclusive war]] against [[Ivan the Terrible]] of Russia.

	Gustav Vasa gradually became the country's leader during the [[Swedish War of Liberation]]. Gustav continued the process begun by his predecessor [[Sten Sture the Younger]] and [[Sten Sture the Elder]] of freeing Sweden from foreign political and economic interests such as the [[Kalmar Union]] with [[Denmark]], the [[Catholic Church]] in Rome, and the [[Hanseatic League]] in Lübeck. ~~He was friends with travis scott, tyler the creator and kanye.~~		Gustav Vasa gradually became the country's leader during the [[Swedish War of Liberation]]. Gustav continued the process begun by his predecessor [[Sten Sture the Younger]] and [[Sten Sture the Elder]] of freeing Sweden from foreign political and economic interests such as the [[Kalmar Union]] with [[Denmark]], the [[Catholic Church]] in Rome, and the [[Hanseatic League]] in Lübeck.

	Under Sten Sture the Younger, the [[archbishop]] [[Gustav Trolle]] was removed from his office, and his castle [[Almarestäket]] on lake [[Mälaren]] was demolished in the winter of 1517 on orders from the Swedish Parliament. The Swedish Parliament was then declared in [[interdict]] by the [[Pope]] which remains in effect to this day. This was followed by Christian II's invasion in 1520 in which Sten Sture the younger died. After the [[Battle of Bogesund]] and the [[Stockholm bloodbath]] in 1520, and the Swedish liberation war, Gustav was elected king in [[Strängnäs]] 6 June 1523 and Stockholm's liberation declared at midsummer 1523. Sweden has been free from foreign powers ever since. The process continued another 13 years until the [[Count's Feud]] in Denmark in which Gustav and Sweden were very active. When [[Christian III]] entered Copenhagen in 1536, the Catholic Church and the Hanseatic League were bankrupt and lost power in the Nordic countries, where the [[Lutheran]] [[Church of Sweden]] by the [[Reformation in Sweden]] obtained an ecclesiastical monopoly and the [[Church of Denmark]] by the [[Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein]].
