France.

Under Cardinal Richelieu France subsidized and allied with Sweden during the Thirty Years' War (e.g. the 1631 Treaty of Bärwalde), using Swedish intervention to weaken the Habsburgs—particularly Spain—and to gain territory and influence (finalized by gains in the Peace of Westphalia, 1648).
