"neutral"

>"neutral"

How did they get away with it?

They survived the war without having to fight because
a) Sweden was not listed as a SoI nation in Molotov-Ribbentrop
b)They got lucky when Finland didn't succumb to Soviets completely
c)They negotiated iron ore trade to Germany which removed Nazis' only reason to attack them. Norway was occupied because it was seen as a preferable staging ground for British forces.

Basically they're complete faggots who refused to aid their neighbours.

Atleast their flag is something unique in Scandi....

Norway was occupied because during winter it was the main route for Swedish iron exports, it's also why Britain wanted to occupy it

some people just have what it takes

Then 70 years later they'll sing songs about the Allies abandoned Poland.

>one third of Sweden's military equipment was given to aid the finns in the winter war.
>tons of propaganda urging people to volunteer in the war against the soviets all over the country
>refused to aid their neighbours.

There were also plans to directly aid in the liberations of Norway and Denmark but that turned out to not be necessary.

Whoever drew this comic wrongfully thought that Britain rather than France was the main Allied power in WW1

The effect of BF1 and Dan Carlin garbages I guess...

All Scandi countries were British puppets.
Sweden agreed to provide iron, Finland had nominal war against USSR - to show formal loaylity and prevent german agression.

...

Woukd the neighbors of Sweden really have done more than the Swedes did if the roles were reversed?

Probably not

Why would you come here and claim falsehoods like these.

Probably less, all of Swedens neighbours hated sweden. They still do, but now it's because of memes instead of solid geopolitical concerns.

...

Only good thing Sweden did under ww2 was to help Germany.

What about helping Finland?

>whataboutism

Good jobs supplying ammunition of the wrong calibre

It's bullshit but I believe it. You never know with the (((Anglos)))

What about actually conscripting a proper relief force rather than have a meme sized force of volunteer men (overwhelmingly of Finnish descent) that didn't actually matter in the grand scheme of things?

That and giving the Germans the idea of putting "J" for "Jude" in all their Jewish passports.

Because sending an official relief force would break neutrality. How do you not understand how this works?

Conception of "neutral state" is absurd. Its not working since about 1750 - beggining epoch of global diplomacy. All world was and is divided between superpowers.
Sweden was founded by Bernadotte - who betrayed France during global war against Britain. There wasnt any Russian efforts to change it later. So Sweden (and separated Norway) remained British.

Sweden was a german puppet in WW1 and was largely a german puppet in WW2.
You are full of shit.

Finland was neutral as well you complete moron. Two neutral parties combining forces to defend one's (and by extension the other's) territorial integrity doesn't mean you align yourself with a major piwer.

Are you shitting me? Sweden did way more than they could have, if they'd been part of the war. This way they could help out both Norway, Denmark and Finland.

Pretty sure the comic is older than BF1 and some youtube e-celeb.

>Sweden was founded by Bernadotte - who betrayed France during global war against Britain.
Dude what, explain your line of reasoning because even if you're completely wrong, I'm fascinated by what kind of mind would come up with this.

Even with some German influence during WWI Gemany was crushed and influence dissapeared. It was possible some French interference, but fleet, economics, monarchy - all was for Britain.
Shit was in your mother's head 9 months before your birn.

>smuggle iron ore through Norway and Denmark to Germs
>helping

Probably an effect of near complete Anglo dominance of post war popular culture.

>Even with some German influence
>some
Everyone in the government and the entire royal family sympathized with Germany, they even promised to never join the war on the side of Russia and let the germans communicate with their embassies through swedish phonelines. The swedish government fell because they would rather give iron to the germans than food to the swedes. Before 1918, there was no more influential foreign power in Sweden than Germany. After 1918? Who gives a shit about the interwar period? The wars are what matter and in both Sweden leaned towards Germany (although they did so unwillingly in the second one).

>Sweden was founded by Bernadotte
What the fuck?

Replace "Anglo" by "American" and "post war" by "post WW2" and that's it

Britain was the main allied power though, France was only the main one on the western front.

>Sweden was founded by [the] Bernadotte [family]
Yeah what the fuck mate

Scandia is can be divided into two parts - SWE&FIN depend on the Baltic Sea and they are puppets of whoever control it. DAN&NOR depend on the North Sea and the North Atlantic in general instead.

>they even promised to never join the war on the side of Russia
Pathetic. Instead of attacking Russia and insta win of Central Union in Eastern front.
British soldiers were controlling Swedish-Russian border and passed Lenin and other communists in 1917.
>After 1918?
Yes. Thread is about that interval. Sweden became British bitch then.
Ofc, its about modern Sweden of last dynasty.

Why do people always forget we helped jews and the norweigan ressistance?

Wrong
France was the supreme Allied power

Theaters in order of relevance were:

1. Western Front
2. Eastern Front
*power gap*
3. Balkans Front
4. Middle East Front
*power gap*
5. African Front

And France was the dominant allied power on both the Western Front and the Balkans one, while Britain merely dominated the Middle Eastern and African ones

>British soldiers were controlling Swedish-Russian border and passed Lenin and other communists in 1917.
Are you serious? Why the fuck would the anglos do that? Its the opposite of their interests. And how the fuck did the anglos get control of the swedish border?
>Thread is about that interval.
The thread is obviously about Sweden during WW2.

Number of men total
8,841,541 brits
8,660,000 french
Number of men in the balkans
404,207 brits
300,000 french
From wiki.

It is not popular, but known fact. Google "Lenin British officers Swedish border".
Why was it opposite? Germany was exhausted and not dangerous. Breakup and civil war in Russia - awesome prize.

>Veeky Forums
>knowing history

More men =/= more relevant, otherwise Russia would be first
Go back to these wiki pages and look at the commanders
French commanders are above British ones and there are two of them listed

Western European detected
Yall faggots are so self-centered you treat the Balkan theater as second tier stuff and never study it
No one who studied the Balkan theater can unironically believe bongs were more relevant than frogs on it
You're probably a bong obsessed with muh Somme and T E Lawrence who never bothered reading about the Macedonian front

>Why was it opposite?
In 1917 the war still had no end in sight until the yanks joined so giving your enemy a huge victory is obviously not in your best interest.

>power gap
>Balkan front
>The one where the fucking war was won

>calls relevant irrelevant
>calls irrelevant relevant
Is this opposite day? France had better commanders, who gives a shit.
>otherwise Russia would be first
They were only on one front and didn't fight to the end so they do not count.

>France had better commanders, who gives a shit.

Commanders arent ranked in the wiki according to how good they were, major retard, but according to how relevant the army they commanded was
Brits had more troops on theater but took part in less major engagements, what's so hard to understand about that?

Germans were under blockade, eating clay and swede (lol) in 1917.

>how relevant the army they commanded was
What did i say? France had better commanders so they were given the universal command.

Stop this shitposting.

It's not only/his/ that does that.
Some Swedish "historians" do it to so that they can try to shame swedes into self-hatred
