Sweden

Sweden, a major European power in the 17th century, dominated the Baltic before losing its empire in the early 18th century. Sweden has been at peace since 1814, developing one of the world's most comprehensive welfare states. Long officially neutral, Sweden broke with tradition after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and joined NATO in 2024.
