While Sweden's relationship with European Axis powers took place under the premise of existential security concerns, the case of Japan was altogether different. Japan never was a threat to Sweden, militarily or economically. Nevertheless, Stockholm maintained a close relationship with Tokyo until Japan's surrender in 1945. This book explores the reasons for that and therefore provides a study on the rationale and the value of neutrality in the Long Second World War. Sweden, Japan, and the Long Second World War is a valuable resource for scholars of the Second World War and of the history of neutrality.Routledge studies in Second World War history.World War, 1939-1945SwedenDiplomatic historySino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Diplomatic historyNeutralitySwedenSwedenRelationsJapanJapanRelationsSwedenWorld War, 1939-1945Diplomatic history.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Diplomatic history.Neutrality940.53254850952Lottaz Pascal1261867Ottosson IngemarOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910774788603321SWEDEN, JAPAN, AND THE LONG SECOND WORLD WAR2944652UNINA
