Swedens alternate T2k history: 1989-2001
1989
The year the cold war ended, and Swedens Politicals where looking for a solution to there armed forces.
The Gulf War, the "maur" fall… Sweden had a consript army, and the lessons learned by many sides from the
Gulf War, that a highly technological army could cripple a numerous army. Both Swedens highcommand
Headquarters and Politics started to look for a "Expert-armed-force", the journalists took a standing
point against the doctrin of a consript army, but when the Gallups showed that the people wanted a
consript army the journalists changed their wiev over night. Also began Swedens economy gradually
go down the sloap.
1990
The year of 1990 was the year of riots in the capitol of Sweden, Stockholm. It started out in April
in lowincome areas and spread to the major cities in the southern part of Sweden. In July the army-MPs
was called in as riot police. In the Autoum of this year was the new propousal for the Organisation of
the armed forces up as a resolution for a consript/elite Armed forces. Gradually Sweden would slim the
organization for the Armed forces. The some officers rejected the propousal, some didn't. The majority
of the Swedish people still rejected the whole idee.
1991
In January this year the riksdag voted for the end of consript army. In April votes the Right wing of
the riksdag for a unpalamentry commision that will investigate the IB-scandal (Socialdemocrates had a
own organistaion to record Communists truoghout the 50's to the 70's).
1992
The economy has gradually reached its lowest point in modern Swedish history, Moderaterna (Republicans)
has the lowest point in the years first Gallup, as they lower the Unemployment fund. Socialdemokraterna
breaths revenge from the last election, and musters for the automn election of this year. Socialdemocrats
get high points in the election, but fails to get majority of the seats in the riksdag, and seeks a ally
with Centern, who is considered as a ally of the Moderaterna. A hard budget takes form under the next
months, and Socialdemocrates tries to cancel the investigation of the IB.
1993
The Socialdemocrates do a remarkable work on the budget deficity, the goverment savings is hard to the
people. The budget cut to the armed forces is tremendous, the lowest since 1920's (% of BNP). The
budgetsavings also looks like 1920's.
1994
As Europe seems to get unstable the Riksdag votes for increased budget for the military. The Leopard II
"Leo" is bought and also surplus armored vehicles from Germany (MT-LB and BMP-1). Radical right wing
increases their membership radically, when the springbudget of last year takes its toll. The clashes
between the 1990 years riots makes a repeats in the summer with greater intense, and a bomb kills 12
persons at a club in September.
1995
A year of scandals. The process with the slimed Military organisation goes well. But in April someone
in the commision leaks out to the press that IB has delivered information of who is a communist both
to USA and Sovjetunion. For couple of weeks the news is trivial, before a journalist digs up a document
shoving that the elite of the Socialdemocrates would get a high posts if Sovietunion would invade Sweden.
Socialdemocrates deny the whole story and question the documents that have been found. Four days after the
newspaper that wrote, what would be called "the secret blackbook notes" five former high ranked IB-employes
confirms "the secret blackbook notes". The fall for Socialdemocrates is total, and three weeks after
Sweden has reelection, where the right-block without Centern gets majority. Instead of a term of four
years, this new parliament will sit in five years. The socialdemocrates gets only 2.5% of the votes,
instead of 30 to 45 %, that also menes that they don't get any seats in the Riksdag.
1996
In mid-July when the incidents between Polen and Germany starts, the Riksdag takes the a descision to
call-up civilian personal for a mobilization-drill, in the middle of the summerholidays and rationing
