Sweden: History, Geography, Economy & Culture

- Join me as I take a whirlwind tour of Sweden's history, geography, economy and culture. 🇸🇪
Sweden's influence in the world is huge in comparison to its population size. Why is this? What is it in the culture and people of Sweden that makes it so disproportionately influential? In this video I hope to provide the answer by an examination of some facts about Sweden, its history and geography.

Sweden is famous for its Viking past, but less well known is after Gustav Vasa freed the Swedes from the yoke of foreign influence, the power it wielded in the 17th and 18 Centuries was one of the greatest in Europe, in what was known as the Swedish Empire.
Today, the is much more peaceful, and has a reputation as an honest broker in peace negotiations through over two centuries of abstaining from war.
Have you thought about what it's like living in Sweden? Although being a member of the EU, it has retained its currency, the Swedish Krona. The Swedish economy is very strong and stable, and its companies are known globally, including IKEA, Volvo, Saab, Scania, Ericsson and Spotify.
It's culture is one of the most liberal in the world, with personal freedom being of top importance throughout its history.
🌲 If you're interested in travel to Sweden, one should be aware of its climate, landscapes, biomes and geography. Taiga (boreal forest) in the north dominates❄️, mixed forest is in the middle, and broadleaf deciduous forest in the south, although much land in the southern part is given over to farming. The top three cities are the capital of Stockholm, followed by the industrial centre of Gothenburg (Göteborg) and Malmö, which lies across the Øresund Bridge from Copenhagen.

Hon. Siruani, Ms.!
We will be citizens of Sri Lanka
Public Officers who are trying to put the death (State terrorism).
Rise up against it is what you cannot do
I and my wife for their children.
Why no one is unavoidable to us what we are.
We will never be equally important people without bothering anyone in the country.
No one in the world can save our lives.
Try to prevent our death from the world.
If we have any special way to support innocent unarmed people, such as we have no specific method.
Whatever the institutions for the protection of people, there are no use.
We do not think that you feel hurt about our death.
We feel very much pain, and after you present to you, we are too unable to protect.
Imagine that we have decided to give up all the other things that have exceeded our lives.
There is no food we need, and we don't have any money or food.
Can you not help us to protect us anymore?.
For my children, innocent wife for children.
To get the food we need.
To escape our death to escape.
To get protection.
Support is so quickly needed please contact.
I will give our life expectancy to remember it with respect.
We give you a valuable support and remember with respect.
To enable us to support us very quickly.
Please provide information to contact a kind request.
Let us recall with respect
We firmly believed that you can do something.
The strength you have is great.
We hope that we stand for us.
Thank you
You will be our only hope.
Finally placed in your association.
Thank you.

Proud to be Swedish! We have such a gorgeous country that is really underappreciated in terms of tourism. A road/rail/bus/bicycle trip around Sweden is something more people should do. Just make sure to come in the Summer :)
I attempted to travel through Sweden by bicycle in 2022, and I gave up quickly: The 2+1 roads are just too dangerous. And it wasn't always possible to bike smaller country roads. As soon as you left city limits, you ended up riding on the road.
I agree that Sweden is a very beautiful country. Just biking probably is not the best mode of transportation.
Trust me, You don't want tourism there, therefore..I am also against, it will purely destroy the traditions, the peace, ans so the globalization progress will accelerate there. Sweden is one of the few countries in which people aren't degenerated. Tourism would just bring way too many idiots.
Sweden, is one of the most beautiful
Country in the world.
Greetings from France ❤️🇫🇷
Merci! And thank you for checking in! I wonder if anybody in France watches my videos (I get so few comments from that country). I'm looking forward to doing France in a future episode, but not for a while as it's an ENORMOUS subject. But I'll be kind, don't worry, hehe, as you know I'm English ;)
Sweden wants to exterminate the Eurasian lynx within its borders
That was before massivasion from meadleast when 2 milj.islamist invaded Sweden!!!😢😢😢

@@jeanetteorre9604 they didint invade Sweden....they were invited to come, welcomed with open arms and big smiles, that's the hilarious ironi of Sweden's situation.
I’m from Poland 🇵🇱
My mom finishes Scandinavian studies so she told me a lot about Swedish language and culture. I feel in love with this country and (after my visit) it’s nature, islands, architecture, customs and even more the language.
I dreamt of getting into a Swedish university and… I’m very grateful that I was able to do it! 💛 Can’t wait to move to Sweden 🇸🇪
Good luck!
I cannot believe how insanely accurate this video was. Most videos of sweden simply state the most well known facts and call it a day. Your video was as in depth as any well educated swedish person could make. Well done man!
Thank you, although, compared to the later videos in the series, it was a little short now! (This was the first one I made in the series)
I am Algerian. I liked the video, God willing
@@GeodiodeI wish you good luck
I wish to visit Sweden someday!
I dream to visit this country and now virtually, I did! What a beautiful, progressive country!!! Greetings from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🎈!!!
Hello 😊 if you find peace in the ocean as much as I do then Sea Tranquility will definitely be a good choice for you! 👉 czcams.com/video/FpibszK9qaw/video.html have a great day 🙏
We're not a progressive country, we've been forced by our elite and our country has been ruined by massmigration. But thanks, I hope you can visit some good parts still left.

Come on，I wanna the same freedom as Sweden，but I am in fucking CHINA
A true pleasure explore more and more about the city through your eyes. Well done. Greeting from IRAN 🇮🇷 ❤
Proud to be Swedish and have a beautiful country 🇸🇪💕
Agreed! I would retire there except... those cold dark winters! :(
@@Geodiodelove winter!
My husband's family came from Sweden and immigrated to America. Thank you for this you tube video.
Our pleasure!
Tomorrow I am going to Stockholm with my friends. It's our first time and we are super excited!!!!!
Awesome. Have fun there. Very beautiful city. I'm curious what you think about it.
I adore the country of Sweden and its people. A big greeting to you from Algeria🇩🇿🇩🇿🇸🇪🇸🇪❤
I love Sweden hope to be there next summer .
Sweden one of beautiful land scape in the world
I dream to visit Sweden someday. Hopefully, this dream becomes a realization. 🙏👍🇵🇭
I had been to Swiden 4 years ago. It is really a beautiful and peaceful country. Love Swiden from China.

Spell Sweden right at least.
Yes u r 100% right. It’s very nice and peaceful country not like China 🇨🇳
اتمنى من كل قلبي زيارة هده البلد
Any recommendations on a trip to Sweden. I want to go and want to go hiking or road tripping for two weeks
What a beautiful country!!❤️❤️🙌🙌Top on my bucket list of places to visit. Thank you for this great video! 🙏
My next stop ✋
Great content 👏🏻 ciao from italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Gratzie!
Sweden is the Scandinavian country I want to visit the most one day I find amazing its geography and architecture. I can't forget to mention its language, which I enjoy so much by listening to many songs in Swedish. I got nearly there in 2018 when I visited Finland after leaving Russia, but didn't get the chance to reach it though. Instead, I headed for Estonia afterwards!
Beware that Sweden is well famous of kidnaping the children from their families, it is the best technique used by the Social Department.
I have been to Sweden several times and found very beautiful and relaxing !
I have yet to go there
one thing i know about nordic countries such as Sweden it's just beautiful!
I would have liked to see more of nature and countryside.
Greetings from Bulgaria
North of Stockholm = alot of trees. South of Stockholm = less trees and more fields.
Good morning, wow, beauty full country, nice look view.god bless🙏❤️
Good video - a segment on Swedish social life and food would have been a nice addition.
Thanks!
I'm really looking forward to this whole serie. Thank you for the wonderful episode of Sweden. See you in the next video!:)
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you!
remarkable and very informational video with great visuals.
Impressive scenery
thanks dear very nice and beneficial document
Hii
Thank you for such a beautiful documentary
I love Sweden. Most of my ancestors came from there. We visited once for a week a few years ago. Learned about where they came from, and visited their villages and churches. Great trip, great people to know, what a great country.
That is getting over, Pete, now Sweden got only an islamic future!
Swedes rejected God of Abraham and His Messiah!
Now, they get another God compulsorily! In future, they, the Swedish atheists, will be forced to fall before this new God five times every day!!!
How do you like it?
@@truthprevails5173 Dude, simmer down. I’m not impressed.
@@petejohnson2945
Sorry, no intension to hurt you, Pete!
Just stated a fact after my keen observation around the world.
@@truthprevails5173 you can’t hurt me. I just don’t believe it’s true.
My son was there I wish I could visit this country some day
That was definitely an awesome video! Thank you for beautiful views, interesting info, and inspiration :)
Thank you, and thanks for the sub. Hope you enjoy the rest of this series.
I am Algerian. I liked the video, God willing
Thank you for this interesting, factual and visually beautiful presentation. Now I can travel and learn! 😊

Beautiful and interesting videos.
Loved !!
Excellent production!
Awesome presentation of a country with the quality only you can offer! Congratulations 🎉 Now is your time for this video! See you soon in 1M views!!!!
Thank you very much!
@@Geodiode you are welcome!!
Hii
Hello
I love it!
Thank you v much! This was my first video in the series, so it was a little short. I hope you enjoy the others - they're a bit (or a lot!) longer. New video in this series first week of Nov!
@@Geodiode Thank you very much! Oh, I do, for sure, and I enjoyed this one, as well! Other reason I bring up Sweden's culture is because we have a family friend/physician, I think you call it...? (but also our friend) Who Lived in Sweden for around 15 years, I think? (he's from Nigeria, originally, but his family moved to Sweden at a very young age for him, before moving to Canada, where I am and was born etc) and he's told us all kinds of stories about Sweden. All bout the culture, and also how beautiful some of the islands are there... How there's nothing like the beautiful nature and the smell of the air there etc in the world... but also how much it can suck in the winter when it's cold, and the days are much shorter... :P Lol and his son even still lives in Sweden! So, I guess that' part of what kickstarted my fascination with Sweden.
Well, mini rant aside,
keep up the good work, bud! :)
Aww man, I watched this video when it was uploaded with Abba's music in it and was amazed. I got to know about ABBA from it and have been listening to The Winner Takes It All almost daily :) I fully understand the reason for the re-upload tho. Great video mate!
Thanks! Yes that was my favourite Abba track, but time for me to get the reward instead of them. Now I'm the "Winner" ;)
@@Geodiode 😎
Советский союз с его колоссальными ресурсами 77 лет строил социализм и развалился перейдя на оголтелый имперский капитализм,а тихие мирные и добрые шведы на скалах построили сказку м процветание для всех!низкий поклон за то что Швеция есть!
Let's just be clear everyone. Sweden is NOT a socialist country. It's clearly a free market capitalist one, with a very supportive social net. It's become more free market during the last 15 years. With even the pharmacy, healthcare and post-office among other things turning into free market enterprises.
Я себе 16 лет назад построил,ждал,ждал когда мне построют,а потом плюнул и построил сам себе социализм,хорошо что успел
Perfectly comprehensive video !!!
Thanks v much!
Thank you for this video! I enjoyed learning about Sweden.
Glad it was helpful!
Sweden is such a beautiful country..... Love it.
thank you very much for the video,
I really enjoyed and realized a lot about Sweden.
Glad you enjoyed it! And you're welcome!
Thank you! Nice video.
Beautiful landscape. He has a very beautiful voice. Very informative. The place I was born has the same climate as this. Extremely cold in winter but cool and sunny in summer. In winter we used to have one meter of snow so we spent most times indoors but surrended with loved one. We used wood to heat our home. Everything natural and beautiful. They say Scandinavian beautiful blue eyes are as a result of the area they live. That got me into thinking. Made me realize why I have fair ly lighter eye and eyebrow.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SVERIGE!!! ❤
If I can't end my life there, I hope paradise is like this country! 💙🇸🇪💛
Excellent video! Greetings from Gothenburg. Sweden.
Thank you! Cheers!
nice aerial footage 😊
Cool video. Lots of well organized information. I am grateful because I found out I'm a quarter Swedish but know very little about what that means.
Glad it was helpful!
the cool video is the kidnaping of the children from their families. You have to see and read about the Social Department to understand Sweden.
Beautiful video
Volvo S60
Enough said 🎉❤
Thank you Sweden
great video ! new sub !
This reminds me of the program Aerial America, which I adore. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
@@Geodiode I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to respond to me! You're doing an excellent job; keep up the fantastic stuff!
I found this Sweden intro fascinating. I am from as different an environment as a Swede can imagine: SW USA, Sonoran Desert in Tucson, Arizona 🌵. I look forward to visiting someday
You should certainly do that!
My Sweden! ❤️🇸🇪
Love Sweden from Romania 🇷🇴❤️🇸🇪
I love ur videos, I loved watching about weather seasons …
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much) a lot of information) continue what you doing it's really goood😊😊😊😊😅
Thanks!
Awesome country to live in
One of the only things I know about my father's side of the family is that we're Swedish. And so I've always wanted to visit/move to Sweden. Such a beautiful country with such a rich history.
You'd better hurry up, it is rapidly diversifying and losing the Swedish identity and feel. Most kids act more American now since everything is so globalized and the internet has taken over.
Love Sweden from East Timor🇹🇱
Excellent video 😊
Thank you!
This helped me a lot with a report on Sweden thanks
Welcome!

Paisagens deslumbrantes!! Amei!!
Wonderful
I didn't get the notification for this video like I usually do. It did show up in my feed though
Intended. This is a re-release of an earlier video, only without commercial music that prevented monetisation. I had figured that all my subs had already seen it so didn't want to bother them.
@@Geodiode In the great scheme of things, it is no bother. I had seen it but enjoyed watching it again 😃
@@Geodiode oooh I knew I had a deja vu of this vid and this thumbnail. Thanks for clearing things out and i'm looking forward to more content.
Very... very Good.
For To tutorial and Study...
👍👍👍
I throughly enjoyed this video. I have never visited your beautiful country however you are number one on my bucket list.
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the happiest countries on the planet
Hi dear friend. I am from Iran and your new subscriber. Thanks for your beautiful videos.👌😉
Thanks very much for checking in. I'm glad you enjoyed my Iran video also ;)
Very nice video brother from Karachi Pakistan good luck
Great summary! Just hope we can curb this last year's negative developments and get back to this level once again.
/From a Swede
Of course we can, we are Swedes, we will turn this around we always have.
Great video

Thank you very much for this video! Very interesting. Sweden is a very beautiful country!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Geodiode Sweden is a very beautiful country for kidnaping the children from their families🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😆🥰🤐🤑😍🥰😇🤣🤣🤣🤣
Listening to your video on a Scandinavia tour. 😎🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇴❤️
Enjoy your trip!
Sorry, I am not from Sweden, but my heart goes to Scotland, however I did like the tour and information cause knowledge is everything and learning about everyone is what I care about, Peace to all!
My dream country from childhoods ❤

Hello 😊 if you find peace in the ocean as much as I do then Sea Tranquility will definitely be a good choice for you! 👉 czcams.com/video/FpibszK9qaw/video.html have a great day 🙏
Thank you for this video, I loved it 🥲♥️ I am incredibly patriotic as I should be, wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! Small note: I do wish you’d have covered more medieval history and also what was here before civilization. The Bronze Age for example would’ve been interesting, and also the relationships to the other Scandinavian countries during the last 1000 years.
Now onto watch the rest of this series! 🎉
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. This was my first treatment of a country in the series, so it was a bit brief. In future I'll go back and give Sweden a more detailed overview that is now standard in this series, some 3 years later.
You missed the Church of Sweden. It was an important part of the Reformation movement in Europe. Thanks for the great video!
Amazing Sweden
