The Berkeley Guides: Berkeley Guide to Europe: Sweden By Aran Johnson Before the United States was even a glimmer in Uncle Sam's eye, Sweden had risen and fallen as the greatest power in northern Europe. Its Vikings pillaged their way through Russia as far south as Turkey, and greedy 17th-century kings fought to take over all of Scandinavia. Since the 1800s, though, Sweden has declared itself a neutral country and has focused on taking care of its own population. Sweden has one of the world's most generous social welfare and medical systems, and collective thinking has crept into every aspect of society, from parliamentary debates to the use of hiking trails.
