Gustav V, kung av Sverige (1858 - 1950) [sv]

Gustaf V (Oscar Gustaf Adolf; 16 June 1858 – 29 October 1950) was King of Sweden from 8 December 1907 until his death in 1950. He was the eldest son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Sophia of Nassau, a half-sister of Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Reigning from the death of his father Oscar II in 1907 to his own death nearly 43 years later, he holds the record of being the oldest monarch of Sweden with the third-longest reign after Magnus IV (1319–1364) and Carl XVI Gustaf (1973–present). He was also the last Swedish monarch to exercise his royal prerogatives, which largely died with him, although they were formally abolished only with the remaking of the Swedish constitution in 1974. He was the first Swedish king since the High Middle Ages not to have a coronation and so never wore the king's crown, a practice that has continued ever since.

Gustaf's early reign saw the rise of parliamentary rule in Sweden although the leadup to World War I induced his dismissal of Liberal Prime Minister Karl Staaff in 1914, replacing him with his own figurehead, Hjalmar Hammarskjöld, the father of Dag Hammarskjöld, for most of the war. However, after the Liberals and Social Democrats secured a parliamentary majority under Staaff's successor, Nils Edén, he allowed Edén to form a new government which de facto stripped the monarchy of virtually all powers and enacted universal and equal suffrage, including for women, by 1919. Bowing to the principles of parliamentary democracy, he remained a popular figurehead for the remaining 31 years of his rule, although not completely without influence. Gustaf V had pro-German and anti-Communist stances which were outwardly expressed during World War I and the Russian Civil War. During World War II, he allegedly urged Per Albin Hansson's coalition government to accept requests from Nazi Germany for logistics support, arguing that refusing might provoke an invasion. His intervention remains controversial.

An avid hunter and sportsman, Gustaf presided over the 1912 Olympic Games and chaired the Swedish Association of Sports from 1897 to 1907. Most notably, he represented Sweden (under the alias of Mr G.) as a competitive tennis player, keeping up competitive tennis until his 80s, when his eyesight deteriorated rapidly. He was succeeded by his son, Gustaf VI Adolf.

Gustaf V (ka Gustav V; 16. juuni 1858 Stockholm – 29. oktoober 1950) oli Rootsi kuningas 8. detsembrist 1907 kuni surmani.

Ta on kõige kauem elanud, kõige pikem ja kõige kauem valitsenud Rootsi kuningas.

Gustaf V oli Oskar II ja tema naise Sophia vanim poeg. Ta sündis Drottningholmi lossis ja sai sündides Värmlandi hertsogiks.

Ta abiellus 20. septembril 1881 Badeni printsessi Victoriaga, kes oli Rootsi kuninganna Sofia lapselaps. Pärast oma venna surma sai Victoria Rootsi kuningate Adolf Frederiki, Gustav III ja Gustav IV Adolf pärijaks. Ka Gustaf V ise pärines Vasade dünastiast nii ema Sophia kui ka vanaema Josephine kaudu.

Gustaf V-l oli kolm last:

• Gustaf VI Adolf (11. november 1882 – 15. september 1973)
• Prints Wilhelm (17. juuni 1884 – 5. juuni 1965)
• Prints Erik (20. aprill 1889 – 20. september 1918)

Gustaf V oli viimane Rootsi kuningas, kes otseselt poliitikasse sekkus. See juhtus 1914. aastal väitlustes kaitse-eelarve üle. Ta oli konservatiivne mees, kes oli vastu demokraatlikele liikumistele ja tööliste õiguste suurendamisele. Ta oli ka viimane Rootsi kuningas, kes oli sõjaväe ülemjuhataja (aastatel 1907–1939).

Ta pooldas mõlema maailmasõja ajal sakslasi, ehkki Rootsi jäi kummaski sõjas ametlikult neutraalseks. Natsionaalsotsialistide toetajaks peetakse ka tema poega Gustaf Adolfit. Peaminister Per Albin Hansson on rääkinud, et kuningas ähvardas tagasi astuda, kui Rootsi ei täida natsionaalsotsialistide valitsetud Saksamaa palvet lubada oma armeel liikuda mööda raudteed läbi Rootsi Põhja-Norrast Põhja-Soome juunis 1941.
