Sweden is one
great nation and one amazing
Country that although remains neutral has good concern for its defensive forces and for those who are unaware
Sweden is actually a country that has sworn off the military for many years as a matter of fact over 200 years
And hey everybody what's going on welcome to FTD facts now. My name is Dave Walpole and today
We are actually gonna look at the last war that Sweden ever fought
Now one of the reasons for this is because what we've done a lot of videos in the past here where we've talked about
Sweden and for me when I learned that Sweden was just a neutral country
I was like why is it and what it's the last
War it's ever fought now with that in mind guys if you guys love learning about
cultures you love learning about history and all that jazz
well
You'll want to subscribe to FTD facts if you guys haven't done so already because that's what we do here on the channel also keep
In mind guys if you guys are from Sweden, or you guys are just interested in Sweden well
We've done a bunch of other videos
I'll put them in cards throughout the videos you can check them out
And I'll put them at the end screen as well and before I get in this video
I want to know do you think that every country needs a giant military to defend itself?
Or do you think that possibly that there could be nations out there?
That could be having a small little military and still do amazing
Let me know your thoughts down there in the comment section below, but now let's get started
Let's go into the past and let's look at the Napoleonic war now the Napoleonic war lasted approximately
Twelve years five months and four weeks spanning from the 18th of May from
1803 to November 20th of
1815 and as a matter of fact historians will actually even say that this war was a continuation of the French Revolution and the French
Revolutionary Wars and as a matter of fact for most Europeans the 1812 war between can in the United States is
Considered part of the Napoleonic war as well but as for Sweden for it. It was generally in the coalition's with English and Russia
opposing Napoleon and his French forces now after many years of the Napoleonic war it finally came to an end and
With that Denmark was forced to give Norway to Sweden now
This was known as the Treaty of Kiel which was signed in January of?
1814 now if it wasn't for this you could say that the Napoleonic war was the last war that Sweden ever really
Participated in now when this treaty was signed and no regions obviously didn't agree to this and Prince Christian Frederick of Denmark
Became the elected king of independent Norway and although he didn't agree with this
He actually tried to get the nation to be its own independent nation tried to get help from other
Countries from around the world it didn't really go for him and this led to war now at this point Christian Frederick ordered his
30,000 troops of Norway to secure the border and self-appointed his country as an independent nation
Now Sweden on the other hand they didn't really like this as a matter of fact. They also outnumbered the Norwegians with
45,000 troops
and they had a much more superior Navy and because of that the first battle took place on January 26th of
1814 when the Swedish Navy attacked of Blair
Winning the day against the fleeting Norwegian ships who bought time to evacuate the army within the city now although no away did win some
Battles throughout the months of the war they did come to the conclusion that they could not continue to fight this sweet's
Because they would inevitably lose however after the Battle of Lange's
Fortunately enough Norway did not give an unconditional surrender
Because on August 7th of 1814 the next heir to Sweden Jean Baptiste Bernadette proposed a ceasefire
And it was due to the talks after the battles of Lang is
Which Norway had been granted that it would be considered a personal union with Sweden?
instead of a province or state and this was signed through the Eids Ville Constitution, but however it wasn't till August 14th of
1812 that Norway actually signed the official ceasefire with Sweden now this was known as the convention of moss which was the official
ceasefire that ended the last war that Sweden had ever fought with its brothers and
The entire world and what's amazing even after this with things like World War one and World War two
Sweden remained true to its words and
Remained neutral as a matter of fact during World War two it basically said to Germany
We're not having anything to do with you guys
We'll help trade with you guys, but we're not getting into anything and as a matter of fact
They even shot down German airplanes when they illegally use their airspace
But as of today Sweden remains one extremely neutral country
Surviving two world wars and other dark times in history and in today's world Sweden remains a powerhouse with a purchasing power parity
GDP of
Two billion dollars ranking 34th in the world and without a major war machine
Even its unemployment is under six percent which is fantastic and as for its nominal GDP per capita
It sits at fifty one thousand two hundred and sixty four ranking 11th in the world and because of all this
Sweden proves to itself and many other countries that you can make money in the world and be at peace in mind and
