If you are asked, do you know of any country which has not fought any war in the last 200 years, that is, it has not been a part of any war? Surely, very few people would know about this country, but you will also be surprised to know the name of this country. Let us tell you that this country officially maintained neutrality during the Second World War, although its neutrality was sometimes questioned.
Relations with our neighboring countries have always been tense. India wants peace, but neighboring countries always keep an evil eye on our country. In such a situation, sometimes they cause harm to India through terrorist attacks, and sometimes there is a situation of tension on the border. However, India is not the only such country, rather wars and conflicts are going on in different parts of the world. However, despite this, there is a country which has not been involved in war for more than 200 years. Now you must be wondering which country is that, then let us tell you that that European country is Sweden.
Sweden was last involved in a foreign military conflict in 1814. This is known as the Swedish-Norwegian war.
After this conflict, Sweden started adopting a policy of “non-war” and neutrality in its foreign policy.
