Why was Sweden Neutral during World War 2?
The reason why they were neutral was simply that they did not see any advantage out of getting into it. They were pressured by both sides to join their cause but saw that it was better to trade with the Nazi’s (Iron Ore) and Allies rather than fight for one against the other. The Allies could not have prevented the Germans from conquering them had they joined their effort and joining Germany (which would more have been the case early on) meant they were at the mercy of Germany helping them. They choose to let them fight it out and watch while all the belligerents in Europe ruined themselves.
