Amazing Facts About Sweden | Home to the Vikings, Nobel Prize, & Musical Talent Like Chris Kläfford! 

Actually Sweden gives out every Nobel prize except the Peace prize. It is given out in Norway. And I think you should look into more about Sweden since he missed most of the great things about Sweden.

It's weird that they didn't say that the Nobel Prize was founded in Sweden. Nobel is a person, Alfred Nobel, among many things known for inventing dynamite. 🔥

Swizz chocolate may be more famous, but Swedish chocolate is definitely better! :)

The Nobel prize is given out in Sweden because Alfred Nobel was Swedish!

If you wanna know more about Sweden, check out Stefan Tyrons youtube. He is an american that have lived in Sweden for some years and his youtube is all about Sweden ;) Thx for your channel, its really fun to see your reactions.

That video was pretty bad, many of the facts was wrong and he didn't even talk about the interesting things.

Ifall du förstår detta så borde du gilla denna kommentar🙃🇸🇪🇸🇪💕

We also have a huge music export. Behind almost every single world hit there is a Swede. Maybe Max Martin who is the biggest/best producer in the world. And we got a big impact in the EDM industry with artists like Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, Eric Prydz, Galantis, Otto Knows etc. And don't forget that the founders of for example Spotify, Volvo, SoundCloud, Ikea, Minecraft, H&M and much more are Swedes ;)

I don’t think those facts were the most interesting, so I’ll try to give some more. About the weather, it can get cold. I live a little south, but not so much and here it got 30C last week, and -15C in the winter. It changes very fast too. Monday this week it was 29 and sunny, but tuesday (yesterday) it was 14 and a little rain. I like late spring/early fall the most though, because it’s beautiful (but all the green and the snow is too..) and I like the temperature the most when it’s between 10-20. Also, Sweden is big in the music industry. ABBA and Avicii come from here and a lot of producers too (both the guys in Swedish idol for example). A lot of great companies/big names come from Sweden, some are: Spotify, H&M, IKEA, Volvo Sweden also has the most inventive people in the world and a lot of things we use everyday is from here. For example the seatbelt every single car uses now is invented by a swede. Also the guy that made the GPS/satellite navigation. About the politics, we right now have a socialist government, which we’ve had since the beginning of the 1900’s, with small exceptions. Our conservatives can be compared to USA’s democrats. We pay about 30% in taxes which some think is too much, but we get a lot back. All children get contributions worth around $140 every month from birth to their 16th birthday, and it doesn’t matter if the family is rich or poor. After that you can get the same amount of money if you continue your studies after elementary school. Dental care is free for everyone up to the age of 23. Healthcare is free if you have to do something big, like a surgery, if the price for the healthcare goes over a certain amount of money, it’s always free. All schooling is free, and there is ”CSN” that can give you extra contributions, like if you have to move to go to your school or if your family don’t have money. Sweden is also succesful in many sports. For example: Peder Fredricson is the world number two in showjumping (horses) and the last month the swedish showjumping team has won two nations cup in a row. Sarah Sjöström is also a great swimmer, she gets medals in every competition she takes part in. In school, 9 years is obligated. Then you can choose if you want to go to “high school” for three years, which 99% do. We have Swedish lessons, but also English from 1-3 grade and from 6/7 grade we get to learn either Spanish, french or German. In high school you can continue with that language or choose a new. That means most of the Swedish people can speak at least 3 languages. (But not soo good) Girls are much better in school than boys. The school lunch is also free. I don’t know if this was boring or so, but I hope not hahah. Well, this was a novel (and it took me 30 minutes to write xD) I am 15 years old and finished elementary school last month, I’ll be moving by myself to go to a horse specialised high school in August. I live in south west Sweden and I love your reactions!!

5:10 That´s the arena where Chris Kläfford won Swedish Idol! 8:13 Unfortunately these North American Facts channels often makes a lot of mistakes in their video. And this is one. Sweden doesn´t give out the Nobel Peace Prize, Norway does, Sweden gives out all the other Nobel Prizes.

We export weapons also. Skype and Spotify is swedish inventions.

Did not mention IKEA or Abba also dynamite :sad:

did you know that more than 70% of sweden is forest

FYI Sweden is NOT a small country by any means. It is the 5th largest country in all of Europe, even bigger than both Germany and the UK

You have to check out Stockholms archipelago that contains 24.000 islands!!!! It is so amazing!! - Daniel

We have like 86 F in the Summer already. The gulf stream heats up Scandinavia so it's not that cold.

Sweden isn't cold, in the summer it can get really hot.

Something he didnt mentioning when he talked about military, was that Sweden once had the 4th biggest airforce in the world. lol. Today we almost non airforce left.

You should visit Stockholm. It's probably one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. And the trendiest place if you're in to Scandinavian style. I live on the west coast, in Göteborg. The fishing is much better and the people are friendlier.

During the summer, sweden can reach up to 35 degrees. And it only snows for like 4 months. I am from Sweden and what I can say is that Sweden is a country that is very aware of what is happening in the world! :) and we are really good at English.

We are a big country with small amount of people!

It's not cold at all. We have had freaking 30 c degrees (86f) for weeks now :)

This video, while quite informative, had some pretty bad choices on what kind of facts they chose to show. I would actually recommend this video instead for some more general facts about the country: watch?v=lHMcPMTuajw

Last week it was like 32 ˚C in Sweden, even in the north part

About the music and movies.. Sweden has lot of songwriters and producers like Max Martin, Shellback, Alexander Kronlund and many more, and lot of moviestars like the father and all his sons in Skarsgårds family, Alicia Vikander, Joel Kinneman..and on. As Elvis Presley once say "How can such a great song come from such little country" when he realized that the gospel song "How great thou art" actually is an old swedish song from 1882.

Älskar mitt land!!!❤️❤️❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪

One of the country's I would love to visit in my high age ,As they say follow your dreams

what i know about sweden: pewds, jörgen and sven

Its not always snow in sweden ofc. In summer WE have över 30•C. You should definitely see sweden in the autum season. Its BEAUTIFUL!!

Jonas Bronk (the Bronx), Greyhound busses, the wrench, the zipper, dynamite, volvo, abba, saab, pippi longstocking, Celcius, von Linné (father of organizing flowers), house maffia, avicci, max martin... puh forgotten someone/something?

They think its cold 24/7 all year every year Last summer it got up to 32 C in Stockholm and rn its like -2 C and snowing I mean, If youre from Africa or some place like that i get it, its cold, But over here You might as Well just commit sudoku in summer ;;x _ x

Not to brag or anything...but as a Swede we are very advanced when it comes to tech. Far ahead of other contries like US and Canada. Paying with credit card is not a thing in Sweden...we use "Swisch"...an instant way to send money from one bank account to another (using an app on your phone). And ID your self is used by "Bank ID"...no passports or social security numbers needed (app on phone). And yeah..."Spotify"...swedish invention.

Fun Fact! The Ericsson Globe has now been renamed Avicii Arena to honour the musician!

It already is like 80-90 degrees here in Sweden during summer time...

Fact why i love sweden: no tornados no tsunamis no dangerous valcanos no dangers

Last week we had like 30 degree celsius in Stockholm. Sweden is not a cold country but it has four season.

Sweden also famous cuz the Legend of EDM was from Sweden 🇸🇪

"Maybe time to not make it in hay." That's what I've been saying for years now! They have tried EVERYTHING to prevent that goat from burning down but it's rare that it dosen't and people is even betting on how long it will last. xD

The Ericson Globe is now calles Avici arena, i memory of the late artist.

Svenne here 🇸🇪

About 70% of swedish area are forests

Alfred Nobel was a Swedish scientist who invented dynamite (We've had a lot of great scientist for example Anders Celsius who named the temperature scale). He wanted to give away prizes to great achievments, however as a lot of people already said, the peace prize is given out in Norway. I think they also missed to mention some of the things we do export and some very successful international companies like Volvo, Spotify, IKEA, Ericsson and H&M. They also missed the music export like Robyn, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, ABBA, Ace of Base and star producers like Max Martin. Thanks for the reaction and please check out the other parts (2, 3, 4, 5) as well.

Avicii, Spotify, zara Larsson, koenigsegg, Volvo, Astrid Lindgren, ice hockey national team voted #2 in the world arter canada and ofc Zlatan Ibrahimovic

I live in the south of sweden and some winters it doesnt even snow one day, so I dont get this whole "sweden is always immersed in snow" thing...

Look up Stefan Tyone a american that moved to sweden and show sweden in a good way to the world. I am from sweden and love the way he tell aboute sweden is foure some one that is not a swed.

amazing to see your reaction :D and marabou do make fantasic chocolate tho the weather in sweden is so depending where you live up in north its much more cold but down in the south there I live , sure on the winter its little cold but we are like thankful if we get little snow but I really love that we have to be one with nature and feel so much different kind of weather seasons etc. not same weather all the time ^^

I feel proud to see this as a Swedish(:

I just wanted to satt that sweden rises som inches or so every year bekas it was so koverd with ice under the ice age sorry for my speling im swedish

That was so little of the most interesting things that are here in Sweden. There is so much more that is interesting if not more interesting. A little contry with so mutch! And the nature is stunning! Sweden is worth researching and visiting! Welcome! You can stay here with me if I can come home to you and see how you have it where you live!! 😉😜 Deal? 🤩

Honestly, Sweden’s not that cold. During summers it goes up to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit and it is not colder during winter in Sweden then the north of the US.

The coldest temperature EVER in Sweden is -53°c and the hottest is 38°c so it can be a lot of differences 😅

You should REALLY listen to ”Loreen” if you like Sweden and swedish music, she has the best voice :)

Sweden is pretty big, not small at all. It's the 5th largest surface area of all EU countries. If you "lift" Sweden and place it over Europe, with the top at the German border and drive to the "bottom" you would have to go trough Germany, Netherlands, Belgium France, and end up in Madrid, Spain. Our population though is pretty small.

Esc is like super bowl but in europe

I live in Sweden

Lika denna kommentar om ni förstår vad jag skriver nu! Min favoritårstid är vinter😹🇸🇪☃️

Sweden can on average reach + 20-30 degrees celsius in the summer(very rarely above 25 though, but consistently above 20). And as low as -40 degrees celsius in the coldest areas(those far up north and near rivers, mountains, lakes or the sea) in the winter( *most places never go below -25, and the average really cold day is at about -20* ). The most common temperatures are between -18 and +18 throughout the year. With spring and fall varying between -7 and +16 on average(yes it can literally swing between those temperatures in a day in some places, as it moves towards, or away from winter). In short, if you want to live in a country with great variation? Sweden is actually something of an ideal. But you have to be somewhat adaptable.

Definitely missed all our inventions ...

Sweden is quite sparsely populated when comparing the number of people living there and the area of the nation, but Sweden is very urbanized. We do export a lot of steel and heavy machinery but this is very high tech stuff. The steel is mostly specialty steel that is customized for the customer's purpose. The machines are very precise etc.

Sweden is not that cold! It depends on where you live. In Malmö it's pretty hot and in Lappland that's more in the north it's pretty cold.

actually not that cold scandinavia just had a heat warning. and the last 2 weeks or so have been hot as hell. 30-38.c

Swiss chocolate is more famous, but Swedish chocolate us actually better. Not like Finnish chocolate, but better than Switzerlands.

Global warming can actually make Sweden cooler, if the Arctic ice melts too fast, the Gulf Stream can move, as the Gulf Stream helps keep the temperature higher in Scandinavia (especially in winter), so global warming can make the weather in Sweden cooler.

Its not that cold in sweden, yes the northern part is cold.. but the hole sweden gets cold when its winter, The summer is outstanding! And its not that expensive on the Ice hotell.. And we do have an amazing Milk chocolate from the company Marabou, have sent it a few times to other youtubers, and they rate it 9/10, and i agree...

Sweden has a slightly bigger surfacearea than the state of California with a population of 10 million.

Sweden is a small country in population 10 000 000.And what u should check out is the companys we have and the innovations thats comes from this country.And at last the music industry,by that i mean sing and song writing.And this things had and has a big impact on the world.

Its not allways cold. Really cold winter and really warm summers.

It is not thaaaaat cold in Sweden🥶🥶

I live in Delsbo Where the Pluto thing is lokated About 2000 people live here

You need to go in Sweden, you are Wellcome

React to the northern part of Sweden :) It's much more interesting in my opinion

Swedish Idol 2019 just started (haven't reached the live stage yet) and I just must recomend you, 2 girls that are something special: Nathalie Cuti and Ellie Lilja. I hope you check this out and perhaps react to it!

Im from sweden and it is very hot here, extreme hot in the summer it was so hot so our trees die. But that is in south of sweden.

I come from Sweden. Någon annan här från Sverige? Like if you are from Sweden!!! # Sweden

Well........ without the problems to know that Sweden and Switzerland is two totally different countries with a distance för over 2000 km between them, in Europe, we have Chris Kläfford, you know ( -- : (And , yes Sweden makes very good chocolate, too and it´s a beautiful country, in all ways.)

Actually, this video reflects a Sweden from the eighties. Things have changed A LOT !. While the technical evolution is true, it is also trur (unffortunately) that the welfare state is going down the drain since about 15 years. Schools and health care remain public but levels have sunk radically . Health care is not, never was , entirely free. You do pay a small proportion for it and some people even refrain from going in order not to spend 20-30 dollars just for a short visit. Schools have sunk to below EU average. Do NOT confuse with Finland that indeed has a good school system. Best in the world after South Korea I think. And since 2010, and especially 2014 murder rate, riots, gangrapes, shootings, sexual assault etc is skyrocketing. It is now 10 times as likely a swedish young man i s shot, than a german guy (in Germany, that is). The ranks of homeless are growing and 15% of the retired are below the EU limit for poverty, many of whom actually sleep in the streets and being cared for by private volonteers as the government looks the other way. I could go on and on and on but I won´t. It´s tragic how this image of the perfect Sweden still remains and is still spread by videos like this. I realise you don´t mean to spread a false picture but it´s what it is......Unfortunately, not even Chris Kläfford and his great music can remedy this. So don´t get things mixed up. Just because there was ABBA, Europe and now Kläfford doesn´t make a country immune to entering a negative cycle. Never forget that

Actually Sweden was/is not home to the Vikings. Sweden was INVADED by tbe Vikings as well as Denmark, Finland, Iceland and other countries. There is a difference. Yes. They were/are Scandinavian. But Sweden's not where they originated from. Best wishes.

It's actually big for it's population, just look at netherlands they have around 17million people and netherlands have a area of around 41,000 km and sweden has around 450,000km

We have over 30 C over here right now.... And that's not cooooooold..... And remember that Sweden is oblong, and if we add all of Sweden through, Europe we can get to Africa.... go get an education before you speak...

Swedish pop music is the best in the world. Don't believe me? Consider these facts. Sweden is the largest exporter of pop music per capita in the world. In fact, regardless of population only 10 millions, Sweden is currently the third largest exporter of music in the world, just behind the US and the UK. In 2010, it is estimated that Swedish pop music exports totalled more than $820 million.

Do you know that it's a little island in the Baltic sea. Gotland. You would find it's like Grez. We have 99 church...I'm born there. My famyli since 1600.

Sweden is the fifth largest country in Europe in size. So it is actually very big in size with only 10 million people.

How can you mumble about Dice and EA when we got SKF, Volvo, IKEA, H/M, SAAB etc. When we are one of the worlds biggest arms distributes so, we may be small. Butt damn we are good :D

Nah, it's not cold. Winters can be cold, but probably not much different than winters in USA (at least winters in the southern part of Sweden). Summers are typically between 20 - 30 degrees Celsius in the south

The great straw goat from my hometown Gävle

By size Sweden isnt a small country, its for example larger than Germany, Japan, Norway and Finland, its also over twice the size of Great Britain and 10 times larger than Denmark.

Hey come on over, we're just starting to open up and we would love you over here. Also, our chocolate is FAR superior to the Swiss. In seven days the sun doesn't set at all where I live, it's up 24/7. In the dark months it does not rise at all. It's like being manic depressive long term per fucking order.

40 Celsius in Sweden in the summer but ok... lol

Global warming affects Scandinavia harder than the rest of Europe. In Sweden 2020 it has not rained in 5 months, it is only now that there will be some rain 1-5 mm but the plants quickly absorb this. Last winter there was almost no snow in southern Sweden and no rain. The trees began to shed their leaves already in the month of August, normally during the month of October, due to this drought. In 2018 we had the hottest summer in over 200 years, the temperature did not go below 30 degrees Celsius in the shade for 4 months, it was only in November that we had 5-10 degrees Celsius but no rain. It is only a matter of time before some trees and animals begin to disappear because they are used to the cold. You can already see it on the Christmas tree and some animals that are used to a lot of snow. We in Sweden have four seasons. In southern Sweden, we only have three seasons in the last 10 years. But some years we have had winter that quickly disappears.

I super wish I could show you some Google search things that you guys would really find super cool but I think my favorite things to tell Americans (now that I live in the US) is about wildlife. Especially to tell my stories about wild hedgehogs that end up so unafraid of people that one just sat on my shoe once. The adults are about the size of half a soccer ball but the babies that waddle after the moms when they cross the roads are literally the cutest. Secondly; I love talking about the squirrels because they have super fluffy tails and lynx tufts of hair on their ears which I definitely miss a lot. The American grey and red squirrels are cute too but I think the lynx ears wins the cuteness factor. What's also fun to talk about is my Northern Sweden experiences because most things people find online is usually about Stockholm so I tell memories about moose and reindeer, lynx and bears, even wolves, foxes and wolverines, snowmobile culture which is massive in the north, dog sledding and northern lights memories which is a more rare experience of mine. And the May bonfire that happens on the last evening of April, or in a more serious chat I might bring up that if you openly are proud of your flag like if you have one in your car you are very likely accused of being racist and your car can be completely vandalized so people are very reserved about showing pride unless it's a sport event related pride. I felt relieved moving to America because I could finally be proud.

Its a huge country in size dude, it have a small population but sizevise its huge. Its the 5th largest country in Europe.

Nobel Peace Prize is always given by Norway🇳🇴, not Sweden🇸🇪

Alfred Nobel, the man who created the Nobel prizes, is from Sweden and every prize except peace is awarded in Sweden. Nowadays we are more than 10 million citizens.

Its not that cold om the somer its can be super warm so YOU can move her. WE HAVE THE BEST CHOCOLATE IN THE WORLD!!!

Not sure I'm getting the dynamic, U are a loud US guy and your girlfriend is like a firey agnostic jehova , yet, you are kindof OK and speak reality

Did that guy say Sweden gives out the Nobel Peace Prize? He did, didn't he...

What a strange and poor video. Did little but confuse people with information about nothing of interest. Sweden has SO much going for it but this style of video kept it well hidden.

Hey guys! Im a sweed and ive checkt out all your videos about sweden. Ive tried serch for another way to contact you but ill try here. Trough all your videos ive been wanted to help you with translation. Ive also seen you react to facts about sweden and thought maybe you wanted to know some current news in sweden, just say hey and ill help with whatever!! Love from sweden

And the Nobel prize comes from Alfred Nobel, witch is from Sweden,Stockholm!!

Sweden is the 56th largest country of all 232! So his point was that the population is very small in comparison to the area of the country.
