If it was counted as having an economy just to be settled then the Swedish economy started just as the Ice age receded. That time was known as the Stone Age and the people were hunters, gatherers and seamen. As time went on to the Bronze Age evidence shows that southern Sweden was richly populated. The evidence that supports this idea is the remains of giant market places and central gatherings. Since there were marketplaces there must have been a trading system to trade back and forth fairly. In the ninths and tenths centuries the Vikings started colonizing the southern and eastern parts of Sweden. They brought again a system of trading, along with raiding and colonization of further lands to gain more money. Later in thirteen eighty-nine the country along with Denmark and Norway became under rule of one monarchy. This union known as the Kalmar Union was not a political union and

Sweden a long with the rest of the world experienced the first of two world wars to shock the economies and governments of many countries. Sweden stayed as neutral as possible. This was the first time that Sweden really remained a neutral country during a war so close to its boundaries. They didn’t help out either side with money or sending supplies and troops. They did commit one act that some countries called participation, the let the German army march through their country and did nothing to stop them. If they had tried to stop them then they would have been entering the war. This proved to be a smart move because they didn’t loose any money due to high wartime costs. Also they didn’t end up on the losing side and having to rebuild a country. Even if they would of won they still would have to pay money to the countries that lost the war as part of peace treaties. They held that overall attitude toward both wars but at the end of world war two they stopped letting armies march through but they did so politically. At the end of the wars Swedish Economical statistics looked very good in fact where in the top ten of all the countries.

Sweden broke away. They returned under their own crown and grew as a country in the seventeenth century to become one of the strongest military powers. To be able to keep this status their government had to keep the economy in balance to support the country and its battles against the Baltic and Scandinavian powers. It proved its financial superiority by joining a thirty years war and winning it. Then a great downfall for Sweden took place in eighteenth century. Russia rose to power and though out the Great Northern War took control over most of northern. It split Sweden in attempts to limit is economic power. By doing so it created a Russian controlled country known as Finland. (Which later would break free and create it's own government). In 1814 almost one hundred years later Sweden started a conflict with Norway. Sweden controlled their country and in 1905 a treaty was signed to peacefully end the occupation. That was the last of Sweden’s military campaign.
