What is the history of Sweden?

Swedes were Pagans until the year 1000 post which they were Christianized and obeyed the Roman Pope. This lasted until the 16th century when the church was reformed to Lutheran-Protestant. It became a strong military power that ruled over a huge area in the 17th century, which is in direct contrast to its position today as one of the two European nations that haveremained isolated from wars since 1815 (even during WW-II). In the 20th and 21st centuries, Sweden has emerged as a developed post-industrial society with a progressive welfare state. It joined the EU in 1995 but refrained from joining the European Monetary Union and adopting Euro as a currency. The Social Democratic Party continues to dominate the country's political landscape while the King holds no executive power. The country is largely a secular state now, known for its high peace profile, with very few church-goers.
