At the beginning of the twentieth century Scandinavia lay on the margin of European power politics, but with the polarisation of international relations in the era of the two world wars, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden became the point where the spheres of influence of three great powers - Great Britain, Germany and Russia - intersected. In this book, Patrick Salmon uses his extensive research in British, German and Scandinavian archives to examine the position of the Nordic countries in the great-power rivalries and conflicts of the period 1890 1940. However, it does not treat the Nordic countries merely as passive victims. It seeks to show that, despite the disparity in strength between the great powers and the small states of northern Europe, the latter had means of adapting to great-power pressures and even influencing the policies of their formidable neighbours.

This is a comprehensive survey of the changing position of the Nordic states (Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway) in twentieth-century international relations. It focuses on their relations with Great Britain, Germany and Russia and shows how Scandinavia was drawn into great-power confrontation and conflict. It discusses the experience of these small states in the light of international relations theory and examines the role of Scandinavia in the military plans and economic policies of the great powers before and during the two world wars.
