While Sweden's relationship with European Axis powers took places under the premiss 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 thereby 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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in Second World War history. 517 $aSweden, Japan, and the Long Second World War 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zSweden 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a940.5325485 700 $aLottaz$b Pascal$01261867 702 $aOttosson$b Ingemar 702 $aEdstro?m$b Bert 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508505303321 996 $aSWEDEN, JAPAN, AND THE LONG SECOND WORLD WAR$92944652 997 $aUNINA
