History of Sweden: A Captivating Guide to Swedish History, Starting from Ancient Times through the Viking Age and Swedish Empire to the Present (Scandinavian History)In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military "super-highways" to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches. The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed the people's interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History's History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden's fascinating history. In this book, you will discover: The Swedes' fierce struggle to gain independence The "Father of Sweden," King Gustav Vasa and his dynasty that spawned some of the greatest military minds in Europe How the Swedish Empire achieved success and expanded as far as North America Sweden's revolutionary war tactics and how that led to victories on the battlefield Why Sweden adopted its famous policy of neutrality The hero Raoul Wallenberg and his role in WWII And much more!
