Did Germany conquer Sweden?
No. Sweden was technically neutral during the war, but did do things to help Germany. Sweden has a lot of iron mines, so they sold this metal to the Germans (and Germany used it to make tanks, planes, ships and so forth). Also, Sweden has a long, bad history with Russia, so when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Sweden helped Germany a little bit. But Sweden did other things that Germany didn't like, such as help Jews escape the Holocaust. Once Germany started losing the war after 1943, Sweden started resisting German demands more and more- Sweden knew Germany was no longer a threat to them, so they were more able to resist.
