	The Ultimate Sweden - American History Information Guide and Reference
		During the Scandinavian Viking culture of the 9th and 10th century, the spheres of interest were so distributed, that trade, raiding and colonisation from present-day Sweden primarily went eastward, to Balticum, Russia and the Black Sea, while the Danes (including those in present-day South-Sweden) went southward, and the Norwegians concentrated on Scotland, Ireland and Iceland.
		Sweden remained a neutral country during World War I and World War II (with a brief exception for the Winter War).
		In the south of Sweden leaf-bearing trees are prolific, in the north pines and hardy birches dominate the landscape.

	European Royalty during World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If federalization is to be a constructive element in the future development of Europe and not merely a disguised method for keeping Germany as disunited as possible, the historical development of the country should not be overlooked and sacrificed to arbitrary measures conceived as a result of momentary emergencies and tendencies.
		The war years were obviously significant in the history of the Balkan, Italian, and Hungarian monarchies -- since in the aftermath of the war all were toppled as a result of communist agitation (with the lone exception of Greece, where the monarchy only just barely survived the communist onslaught).
		The role of Europe's royal houses in the history of World War II is therefore important and, at the same time, often underestimated -- as is the role of World War II in the history of Europe's royal houses.

	israelinsider: Briefs: Sweden applied Nazi race laws, study shows
		Sweden's Lutheran church applied Nazi race laws to stop Germans living in Sweden during World War II from marrying Jews, according to research presented Tuesday.
		In addition, more than 400 Swedes who married "Germans of so-called Aryan heritage" between 1937 and the end of World War II were forced to sign a written assurance that their parents or grandparents did not have Jewish roots, Jarlert said.
		Of late, Sweden has become increasingly self-critical of its role in World War II, when it willingly sold much-needed iron ore to the Germans, and allowed German troops passage into Norway.
