Hi, i whant to Write a story about Sweden in war and kind of like an swedish resistance, i whant to write about war against som great power (not russia) preferaly US, but i can't come up with a reason for it, anyone that can help me.?
Seems like Russia is really the only nation that would be likely to want to pursue a pathway of conquest going into Scandinavia. Reasons:
1.) They are instable currently.
2.) Their people feel that they have something to prove.
3.) Russia seems to look back on their USSR "glory days" longingly, wishing they could have that level of power and influence in the world again.
4.) Scandinavia is relatively isolated, weak and abutts Russian territory, so a "Russia on the warpath" scenario would see Scandinavia as a prime target.
I know you said that's the direction that you don't want to go, but it certainly seems to be the most likely.
You're preference of the USA? That's pretty tricky. Stable government, no perceivable need to invade Scandinavia and a very real need on the USA's part to maintain good relations will Europe as a whole. An amphibious invasion has an entire ocean to cross with lots of European navies in it to notice, then go through the Danish straights. For running with a USA invasion scenario, you'd have to:
1.) Come up with a reasonable scenario for WHY the USA would invade. What's in it for us silly Americans? Did the USA go through some drastic change in government or something? If not, there would have to be a very good perceivable reason (In other words, what does Sweden do to severely piss off the USA?).
2.) The entirety of Western Europe would have to throw their support (passive support at bare minimum) for the USA's invasion, so you'd need an explanation and/or scenario of why all of Western Europe would have it in for Sweden. Otherwise, circumstances would likely degrade into a "most of Europe vs the USA" before any invasion could be landed.
3.) This is really part of of number 2, but how does a USA invasion force waltz past Denmark and Danish waterways and on into Sweden?
