Expansion through Geography, Not Conflict
Sweden is a rare country experiencing territorial expansion without the backdrop of warfare. How is this remarkable feat achievable? And why haven’t the Swedes shared their exceptional approach with the global community? Such knowledge could undoubtedly spare countless pain, hardship, and time.
The reality, however, is not as unbelievable as it may seem. Since the retreat of the inland ice around 10,000 years ago, portions of Sweden have undergone land elevation. The most prominent instances of this uplift are observed around the region of the High Coast in Ångermanland. Imagine a scenario where your nation grows in size without the turmoil of war—an enviable situation!
