Neutral Sweden and the First World War (Part 1 of 2)

This is the first of two episodes on Swedish neutrality and the First World War, the second to follow on shortly.

Special thanks among others go out to Neutrality and State-Building in Sweden by Mikael Malmborg, and the relevant chapters in Scandinavia in the First World War: Studies in the War Experience of the Northern Neutrals as well as the chapters in Studies in the War: Experience of the Northern Neutrals. Patrick Salmon’s superlative Scandinavia and the Great Powers, 1890-1940 is still top billed.
