I love history and have run or helped run two great history forums for the past few years. One of the things I like to do a lot is to ask questions relating to "What If" Scenarios. And then it's also fun to just discuss history in general or also the way history impacts other facets of culture - language, food, technology, fashion, etc. and vice versa. So my mission is to post some of the key things I have written or am writing over time. Thanks for reading. Glad to have you here.

What if Sweden Hadn't Been Neutral in WWII?

Hi Everyone,
Today's discussion topic is...

What if Sweden Hadn't Been Neutral in WWII?

Assume that because of the invasion of Poland, Sweden declares war joining one side or the other.

Sweden has had great leaders for centuries. They have had first rate arms manufacturers and an excellent military. One way or another, Sweden would have made an impact probably greater than any nation other than the great powers.

Which side would Sweden have joined?

Regardless of which side you picked, how would the war have been impacted differently and how would it have played it differently both in the Baltic and also strategically?

Even if the Germans did devote all available resources to invading/capturing Sweden, could they have? And if so, under what circumstances?
