Sweden was one of the poorest countries in Europe in the 19th century, and shaped by a dogmatic Protestantism, until its natural assets – timber, iron ore, grains – allowed it to fund a social democratic welfare state in the early 20th century.
In the south of Sweden leaf-bearing trees are prolific, in the north pines and hardy birches dominate the landscape.
