Gustaf V of Sweden (The Last Age of Empires)

Gustaf V (born 1858) is the King of Sweden since 1907.

Early Life
Gustaf V was born in 1858, the son of Prince Oscar and Princess Sofia. He became the Crown Prince of Sweden when his father ascended to the throne as Oscar II in 1872. He married Princess Victoria in 1881. She was the great grand child of deposed King of Sweden Gustav IV Adolf, therefore uniting the former royal dynasty of Holstein-Gottorp with the reigning Bernadotte dynasty. Together they have had three children, the current Crown Prince of Sweden Gustaf Adolf (born 1882), Wilhelm (born 1884) and Erik (born 1889), who died in 1918.

Reign
Crown Prince Gustav became King Gustav V on the 8th of December 1907, when his father Oscar II died. Gustav V was the first King of Sweden to not be crowned. During the Great War Sweden stayed neutral, but were obviously German-friendly as they would mine the Öresund strait at the wish of the Germans and restricted trade with the Entente while continuing trade with the Central Powers. As a punishment, the Entente in return blockaded Sweden in 1917, increasing the resource crisis that the Great War had brought to Sweden. 1917 would be a tumultuous year for Sweden and its monarchy, with food riots and demonstrations regularly occurring across the country, and escalating during the spring of 1917. On the 5th of June thousands of people gathered in Gustav Adolf's Square in Stockholm to protest. The protests were originally supposed to be about women's suffrage, but they evolved to encompass more radical ideas as more and more people joined. Demands were put forth for the monarchy's abolishment, the release of those imprisoned for their anti-militarism and equal voting rights for everyone. The police arrived to stop the protests, swinging their sabers against the people but they were forced to retreat because of the amount of people overwhelming them. To put down the protests once and for all the military was summoned and were ordered to aim at the protesters, who were given the choice to disband or be shot. Although some agreed to leave, the majority of protesters stayed and the order to fire was given. Many privates in the army were sympathetic to the protesters and refused to fire, but thirteen people were killed and twenty nine people hurt in the first volley. In the panicked dispersal that followed almost none where arrested, and although they were forced to flee the people were determined to return. The "Bloodbath at Gustav Adolf's Square" was the starting point for the Swedish Revolution of 1917. When the news spread about the incident
