Sweden ceased to be a Country (English)
Sweden has not always existed as a country. Two kingdoms, Svealand and Götaland, became the foundation of Sweden.
The country expanded and what is the country of Finland today has only been an independent country since 1917. What was Sweden was expanded early on by more than what is today called Finland.
Götaland, Svealand, (Finland) and then Norrland. Sweden expanded and the era when the area was at its most extensive was aptly named the Great Powers.
Then Sweden began to shrink and land was lost. In 1809, Finland was lost to Russia.
Russia held the area as a "Subordinate State" which since 1917 has broken free and become a country.
The question is whether it is obvious that Sweden is not shrinking more? Before 1815, Europe had a total of 105 states and after 49 states. Germany united and Italy united, which erased a number of small states.
Like when companies merge is a simple analogy.
The book You can read if you want goes further. Sweden is in danger of disappearing completely as a country.
Current Sweden was about to be divided between Norway, Denmark and Russia.
Large parts of the book were written in 2006 and since then reality has shown that the risks have increased.
Already in 2014, Ukraine lost a large area of land and more in 2022 to today.
Sweden has had a peace in succession that is record-long and is now longer than the Pax Romana, a peace that lasted over 200 years during Roman times. During Sweden's record Era of peace, Russia has been involved in a total of 88 different wars. Russia is historically a dangerous state and has not even smelled of Democracy.
Right now, Vladimir Putin has established himself as a Dictator and he has new plans for Sweden and Europe. He has already contributed to the USA having a President named Donald Trump, who already in 1987 converted to become very positive towards the Soviet Union. The development is dangerous right now.
Relax with the book and become even more worried!
