Sweden (08/05) (3648 words) |
 | Sweden suffered further territorial losses during the Napoleonic wars and was forced to cede Finland to Russia in 1809. |
| Sweden's predominantly agricultural economy shifted gradually from village to private farm-based agriculture during the Industrial Revolution, but this change failed to bring economic and social improvements commensurate with the rate of population growth. |
| While some argued that it went against Sweden's historic policy of neutrality (Sweden had not joined the EU during the Cold War because it was incompatible with neutrality), others viewed the move as a natural extension of the economic cooperation that had been going on since 1972 with the EU. |
