The history of Sweden can be followed back to 12,000 BC. Most of the evidence of the early history of Sweden is found in the written scripts of outsiders. The documents of Sweden before 1,000 AD are rare and short. From the period of the 14th century, longer historical texts were produced in Sweden.

It took a long time to form the Swedish state over the topic of unification and consolidation. The power was concentrated on one monarchical dynasty. The late 14th century was the time when Sweden became intertwined with Denmark and Norway and eventually united in the Kalmar Union (a personal Union in Scandinavia).

Gustav Vasa was crowned king in 1523 and was the most powerful noble families. Furthermore, he established the Lutheran Church, a movement within Western Christianity in 16th-century Europe. At the time of the 17th century, Sweden developed as a great power, hence took direct control of the Baltic region after winning the war against several European territories like Denmark-Norway, Russia, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Modern Sweden had a monopoly on foreign trade, and it led to the rise of its economic timeline. Sweden became renowned internationally for main resources like grain, iron, copper, timber, tar, hemp, and fur. The trade market was growing and therefore later in time, foreigners came and settled, and it led to an influence on the culture and traditions of Sweden. From here, Sweden became a multicultural state.
