Swedish Military Regime (1814: Norwegian Independence)

The Swedish Military Regime (Swedish: Svenska Militärregimen) was the military regime that ruled Sweden from 1932 to 1946, first under the rule of officer Carl Gustaf Hammarskjöld from 1932 to 1940, than under Martin Ekström from 1940 to 1946.

The reason why the regime came to power was to stabalize Sweden and bring back democracy after that had happened. But when Martin Ekström took power in 1940, he planned for the regime to not end and to join the second world war on the side of Germany. Under the regime, many socialists and communists where sent to consentration camps in northern Sweden. Even more so under the war. In 1943, the regime even began to go after other minorities in Sweden.

In 1946, the regime fell after being invaded by allied powers, and after a peoples uprising rose up in Småland and Stockholm. The regime would be continued by a democratic Kingdom of Sweden.

The political arm of the Swedish Military Regime was the National Protection Alliance.
