Download or read book What Has Sweden Done for the United States Classic Reprint written by Lars P. Nelson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Has Sweden Done for the United States is a short title authored by Lars P. Nelson. This work provides a brief history of relations between the Scandinavian nation and the United States. Sweden and the U.S. are not two countries that are immediately thought to share a strong connection. While the two nations have long been friendly with one another, many individuals would have a difficult time naming one significant instance in which the countries directly worked together. The purpose of Nelson's book is thus to demonstrate that there is a long history of cooperation between Sweden and America. The book begins by examining the establishment of a trading company in Sweden that was authorized to work in what is now the United States. From there, the book examines early agreements between the two nations, Sweden's stance on the American Revolution, important diplomatic figures, and several more topics. At a mere thirty-eight pages, Nelson's overview merely scratches the surface of the subject matter. The author has managed to include a surprising amount of factual information into this title, however the essay reads more like a single chapter in a book than a fully realized work. The title is however a good starting point on the subject matter and will perhaps encourage readers to pursue further studies. The titular question posed by What Has Sweden Done for the United States? is indeed answered in Lars P. Nelson's book. For readers interested in a quick overview of the subject, or for those researching the topic but unsure where to begin, Nelson's work is a satisfying read.

Download or read book Relations of the United States with Sweden Classic Reprint written by Knute Emil Carlson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relations of the United States with Sweden is author Knute Emil Carlson's doctoral thesis presented to the University of Pennsylvania. This book is a thorough examination of the relationship between the United States and a Scandinavian nation of significantly less global influence. Author Knute Carlson's study is a history of the relationship between Sweden and the United States. While the author's research examined the bond between the two nations up until the period of the First World War, this text presents only the early history of the nations. The work is focused on four major areas, each of which is dedicated a separate chapter. Part one examines the negotiations between the two nations to establish a free trade port in St. Bartholomew as early as 1784. Part two details a proposed alliance of neutral states during the Napoleonic Wars that was instigated by Sweden. The third chapter looks at the Straslund Claims and further land arrangements between the two countries. Finally, part four details the commercial relationship of Sweden and the United States. The text concludes with a detailed bibliography. Knute Emil Carlson's work is a brief but interesting examination of the relationship between a developing world power and a nation that would have seemed quite distant during the eighteenth century. At the time of its original publication little research existed examining the relations between Sweden and the United States, and thus this work served to fill a gap in the literature. Modern students of history will certainly find Carlson's research to be a compelling read. Relations of the United States with Sweden is a well crafted dissertation. Carlson was clearly a keen student of history, and this book benefits greatly from his enthusiasm and passion for the subject. For students and scholars of U.S. history, particularly as it relates to the nation's relationship with other countries, the author's work remains a valuable read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sweden and the Swedes I came as consul to Gothenburg - one of the thirty war consuls sent out by Abraham Lincoln. It was here I first learned to know what a noble, gener ous, hospitable race the Swedes really are - the worthy descendants of the soldiers of Gustavus Adolphus and the boys in blue of Charles XII. On my return to America it grieved me to find how little my countrymen knew of the Swedes, and it became one of the chief aims of my life to make their name and fame better understood in my native land. This result I endeavored to accomplish by means of lectures, magazine and newspaper articles, and translations; but I was deterred from publishing a completed work on Sweden and the Swedes for fear I could not do them justice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Things Seen in Sweden The growing interest in Sweden, which has steadily increased since the sensation caused by the Olympic Games in 1912, has induced me to write this little work on that picturesque, unfamiliar country, which since the days of Charles XII. has ceased to be a first-class Power. Although no longer occupying the honoured place that was hers before she was involved in that gigantic and unequal struggle with Russia, Saxony, Prussia, Denmark, and Norway, which stripped her of her position and territories on the Baltic, she, like other once great nations, is well worthy our attention and interest. Her renaissance during the last hundred years in the spheres of art, science, and almost every branch of industry, is indeed most astonishing.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diplomatic Relations of the United States With Sweden and Norway, Vol. 7 At the time of the American Declaration of Independence Norway was governed as a province of Denmark, and remained under Danish domination until May 17, 1814, when she declared herself an independent kingdom to be governed by a constitu tional monarchy.1 By the treaty of Kiel, January 14, 1814, the allied powers had virtually granted Norway to Sweden in return for assistance against Napoleon,2 and as time wore on, it became increasingly evident that they would not recognize the complete independence of Norway. The Norwegian patriots were there fore glad to accept the ofier of Charles John Bernadette, Crown Prince of Sweden, to recognize the constitution of Norway on the condition that that kingdom should submit to a loose union with Sweden. By the act of November 4, 1814, the union was acknowl edged by the Norwegian Storthing.3 According to a Speech of the King to the Swedish Rigsdag, perfect equality was to obtain between the two kingdoms, but this perfect equality, was, nevertheless, not established in practice, as diplomacy and for eign affairs, as well as the representation of both kingdoms at for eign courts, remained in the hands of the Swedish Government. But this was a practice based on no express right, as no such privilege was granted Sweden by the Act of Union. 4 Our relations with Norway were, therefore, prior to 1814 bound up with our relations with Denmark, and between 1814 and 1905 they were conducted with Sweden and Norway as a unit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of New-Sweden The first permanent settlement upon the hanks of the Delaware was made, as is well known, by the Swedes; and the whole country from the falls of the river (where now stands Trenton) to the capes was originally called New-Sweden. From the landing of Peter Minuit, in 1635, down to the time of William Penn (a period of nearly half a century) the language and customs of Sweden held almost exclusive sway along the Delaware. Now, save the old churches at Philadelphia and Wilmington, and the Swedish names which still dot the chart of the river, scarcely anything remains to tell the modern inquirer of a time which has almost escaped the pen of the legendary. Although the last four of these poems treat of events which occurred after the close of the Swedish dominion, and during the rule of the English, it has not seemed inappropriate to include them under one head with the others.

Since then, however, the Portuguese have begun to exhibit some activity in connection with the cod fishery of the Grand Bank, and in the Spring and sum mer of 1885 bought several New England fishing schooners and fitted out others from home ports. Their voyages proving generally successful, they have added more vessels to their fishing fleet during the latter part of this year, and it is quite possible that, in the course of a few seasons.
