Talk:Swedish neutrality

message: Does it have some real meaning in sentence: "Although feelings of cultural and scientific kinship with the German Empire..." or it is typo? Pavel Vozenilek 00:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the part based on Nils Bruzelius' article. It's just his speculations and the article is a strange mix of irrelevant facts and logical errors. 83.248.99.35 00:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The formulation
 The policy originated largely as a result of Sweden's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars during which over a third of the country's territory was lost, including the traumatic loss of Finland to Russia.
is disputable. Firstly, the 1809 loss of Finland is not normally (at least in 
Sweden) considered a part of the Napoleonic Wars. Secondly, this was
compensated for comparatively soon by the 1814 (?) win of Norway. Thus, while
there may be an underlying causality between the wars of the time and the
policy, the current formulation is misleading and/or an oversimplification.
Could we have a more in-depth discussion by an expert?

replies: text: AFAIK, the policy of 1812 was more a product of the new crown prince Bernadotte, who viewed renewed conflict with Russia as a hopeless venture and instead sought reconciliation with her, leading to Swedish neutrality on the French invasion of Russia and participation on the coalition side when the war turned against Napoleon. While the war of 1809 is often viewed as separate from the Napoleonic wars, the coup against Gustaf IV Adolf indicates another story, since it was the latters intransigence regarding Napoleon's boycott against Britain that led to the war.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.216.200.186 (talk) 08:33, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

See here.  Any reason why the last 2 bullets in the new "Additional information" section I just created couldn't be moved to the "See also" section.  They're not general links, but also not references, as they point to specific editions of the sources.  What do you think?  Saebvn (talk) 14:45, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The leaked cables are cited as the positions of the US, which usually applies it is the official opinion of the US government, but aren't these cables the usually secret opinion of diplomats? Anyway, the link is broken 188.200.194.26 (talk) 08:14, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

message: "Sweden is still today a non-aligned country in regards to foreign and security policy, however it maintains strong links to NATO."
I doubt that, since the EU introduced its Common Foreign and Security Policy and Sweden is a member state.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildcongorat (talk • contribs) 12:01, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The British invasion of Norway and Germany's counter-attack on, and occupation of both Norway and Denmark, coupled with the fact that Finland was battling the Soviets, made Sweden's position extremely tenuous[...]
Is this referring to the Altmark incident? I don't think that's an invasion, since the British never touched land in Norway.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.167.42.55 (talk) 18:14, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
