	Sweden - LoveToKnow 1911
		Sweden itself may be considered in four main physical divisions - the mountains and highland district, covering all Norrland and the western part of Svealand; the lowlands of central Sweden; the so-called Sma.land highlands, in the south and southeast; and the plains of Ska.ne, occupying the extreme southward projection of the peninsula.
		The population of Sweden in 1900 was 5,136,441.
		In Sweden, however, both the Vestgotar and the Upland Sviar were discontented, the former on account of the breaking of the king's promise to Olaf of Norway and the latter on account of the introduction of the new religion, and their passions were further inflamed by the lawman Anund of Skara.

		After the Finnish War (1808-1809) the eastern half of Sweden was ceded to Russia, thus becoming the Imperial Russian Grand Duchy of Finland.

		Although Sweden was not a party to the 1856 treaty establishing the Åland Islands as a demilitarized area, the matter was laid before the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 in order to make it possible to follow a similar path as Denmark had followed with regard to Schleswig.
		When the matter was dealt with by the League of Nations, Sweden requested in her submission to the Council of the League that the matter be decided by the inhabitants of the Åland Islands in a plebiscite.
