Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It has been a member of the European Union since 1995.
History
Sweden has a long tradition as a major exporter of iron, copper and timber. Improved transportation and communication allowed more remote natural assets to be utilized on a larger scale, most notably timber and iron ore. In the 1890s, universal schooling and industrialization enabled the country to develop a successful manufacturing industry and by the twentieth century, Sweden emerged as a welfare state, consistently achieving a high position among the top-ranking countries in the UN Human Development Index (HDI). Sweden has a rich supply of water power, but lacks significant oil and coal deposits.
Modern Sweden emerged out of the Kalmar Union formed in 1397 and by the unification of the country by King Gustav Vasa in the 16th century. In the 17th century Sweden expanded its territories to form the Swedish empire. Most of these conquered territories had to be given up during the 18th century. In the early 19th century Finland and the remaining territories outside the Scandinavian peninsula were lost. After its last war in 1814, Sweden entered into a personal union with Norway which lasted until 1905. Since 1814, Sweden has been at peace, adopting a non-aligned foreign policy in peacetime and neutrality in wartime.
Immigration
Like most of Europe, Sweden is experiencing demographic genocide from mass immigration. The people promoting the immigration claim Sweden has no culture and needs third world culture.[6] The state financing housing and finding jobs to immigrants. No matter how much the immigrants get at the Swedish people's expense, many keep on demanding bigger free houses, more free services, and more money.[7] Sweden has a very high occurrence of reported rapes because of mass immigration.[8] Many immigrants live in exclusion areas and get free welfare to live on.
Sweden's mass media are not talking about the problems with mass immigration.[9] A good part of Sweden's mass media is owned by the Jewish family Bonnier.
In 2014, a teacher Ann-Sofie Stensdotter wrote on the Internet about the invasion of foreigners that “these people are God’s punishment” for Sweden becoming a secular nation--the school fired her for this.[10]
In April 2014, Sweden's prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, gave a speech at Luleå Technical University calling nationalism a "disease".[11]
In 2014, cultural marxists complained that Sweden failed to include enough nonwhites in their childrens' toys."[12]
