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.

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.
