Sweden

"Sweden" by Victor Alfred Nilsson presents the detailed story of Sweden, starting from prehistoric times and going into the early Middle Ages, including the Viking age and when Christianity first came to Sweden. Nilsson wants to show how the Swedish state, its culture, and its connections with other countries and groups grew and changed over time. The book begins by explaining the geography, culture, and history that set the scene for Sweden. It talks about important prehistoric discoveries that tell us about the first people who lived there, how they lived, what they believed, and how their society was organized before written history. Nilsson points out that the Swedish people have been around for a very long time and are part of a continuous, distinct group. The book builds a strong understanding of Sweden's past that explains how it became the country it is today.
