DetailHistorie
První známá lidská sídla na území dnešního Švédska pocházejí z doby kolem roku 8000 př. n. l., po ústupu ledovců po poslední době ledové.
Ve Švédsku vzkvétala kultura severské doby bronzové, charakteristická pokročilým zpracováním kovů a obchodními sítěmi.
Začala éra Vikingů, během níž byli švédští Vikingové známí svými výpravami a obchodními cestami sahajícími do východní Evropy, na Blízký východ i dále.
Byla vytvořena Kalmarská unie, která spojila království Dánska, Norska a Švédska pod jedním panovníkem. Tato unie trvala do roku 1523.
Gustav Vasa byl zvolen švédským králem, což znamenalo konec Kalmarské unie a začátek Švédska jako nezávislého národa. Toto datum je nyní oslavováno jako švédský státní svátek.
Švédské impérium začalo expandovat pod vládou krále Gustava II. Adolfa a stalo se významnou evropskou mocností během Třicetileté války.
Válečná loď Vasa se potopila na své první plavbě ve stockholmském přístavu. Byla vyzdvižena ve 20. století a je nyní oblíbeným muzeem.
Začala Velká severní válka, která vedla k úpadku Švédského impéria po jeho porážce Ruskem v roce 1721.
Švédsko ztratilo Finsko ve prospěch Ruska, což znamenalo konec jeho postavení významné evropské mocnosti.
Byla přijata nová ústava, která zavedla konstituční monarchii a dělbu moci.
Švédsko vstoupilo do unie s Norskem, která trvala do roku 1905.
Došlo k mírovému rozpuštění unie s Norskem a Švédsko se stalo plně nezávislým národem.
Švédsko zůstalo během první světové války neutrální a dodržovalo svou politiku neutrality.
Švédsko si udrželo neutralitu během druhé světové války a vyhnulo se přímému zapojení do konfliktu.
Švédsko vstoupilo do Evropské unie, což znamenalo významný krok v jeho integraci s Evropou.
Švédsko se stalo přední zemí v oblasti environmentální udržitelnosti a inovací, se zaměřením na obnovitelné zdroje energie a zelené technologie.
