Despite the devastating affects on most nations the country of Sweden actually benefitted from the war, despite many casualties on both fronts. Sweden maintained a neutral diplomatic policy which allowed them to profit from both Allies and Axis. This war profiteering unfortunately came to a end for Sweden but their economy was still on a high and during the war Sweden was host to thousands of immigrants, Jews in particular, fleeing war and they are now thankful to Sweden and are proud to call themselves Swedish not matter their previous identity. Thanks to this boost in population Sweden was now considered a quite powerhouse, not on the same level of industry as Russia or the US but was one exported millions of iron I each year to all countries. Swedens generousity did not end at home however, for while every one was fighting one another Sweden was gaining allies in the third world supporting impoverished governments such as Cuba, Brazil, China.
