The Dacke War (Swedish: Dackefejden) was a peasant uprising led by Nils Dacke in Småland, Sweden, in 1542 against the rule of Gustav Vasa. Dacke and his followers were dissatisfied with the heavy tax burden, the introduction of Lutheranism, and the confiscation of Church property (the confiscation and taxes were introduced to pay for the Swedish War of Liberation that had brought Gustav Vasa to power). In 1543 the uprising was defeated, and Nils Dacke was killed.
^"Nils Dacke". Så uppstod Dackefejdens paradoxala politiska situation: medan Danmarks konung i enlighet med Brömsebro-fördraget sände ansenliga styrkor till lijälp mot de upproriska, bidrogo hans undersåtar i Blekinge i hög grad att hålla upproret i gång.
