Modern Sweden
In 1604 the Wasa dynasty banned
Catholicism & introduced the Lutheran church, becoming a strong Protestant force
during the
17th century. Power grew as Sweden conquered both Denmark & Poland thus establishing
a great
kingdom. Sweden also aquired Norway but Norway gained independence in 1905 & Sweden took on
the boundaries
which exist today. Throughout the 19th & 20th centuries Sweden was
industrialized & has experienced economic
prosperity.
