Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Sweden and the AMERICAN REVOLUTION' by Adolph B. Benson explores the complex and often overlooked role that Sweden played during the birth of the United States. This scholarly investigation delves into the diplomatic, military, and social connections between the two nations during the late 18th century. Benson meticulously examines the contributions of Swedish officers who served in the American Continental Army and Navy, as well as those who fought under the French flag in support of the American cause.The narrative goes beyond the battlefield to analyze the political climate of the era, particularly the motivations of King Gustavus III and the strategic importance of the League of Armed Neutrality. By exploring official correspondence, contemporary accounts, and treaty negotiations, the work sheds light on how Sweden became one of the first neutral powers to recognize the independence of the fledgling republic.Ideal for historians and students of the Revolutionary era, 'Sweden and the AMERICAN REVOLUTION' provides a comprehensive look at the international dimensions of the conflict. It highlights the shared ideals and pragmatic interests that forged an enduring bond between a Scandinavian monarchy and a rising democracy.
