What were the three northern countries that attempted to remain neutral during World War II?
Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Sweden was the only country in Europe, along with Switzerland, that was not taken over by the Nazis. Norway was invaded by Germany, and Finland was invaded by the Soviet Union.
Why the Nazis wanted Sweden to remain free?
The Nazis did not care whether Sweden remained free. So long as Sweden cooperated with the Nazis, the Nazis were relieved of the necessity to invade Sweden. The Nazi regime was completely dependent on Swedish iron ore, from which they made steel to fabricate into all the implements of war - tanks, guns, artillery, artillery ammunition, ships, submarines, and so on. Had the Swedes refused to continue to provide this iron ore the Nazis certainly would have invaded Sweden to secure the supply. The Nazis had a plan on the books for the invasion of Sweden, but never had to put it into operation, as the ore continued to flow into Germany. Additionally the Swedes supplied the Nazis with crucial machined parts for their war industry, including ball bearings, and allowed the Germans to use their excellent design of the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft machine cannon (interestingly the Allies used this identical weapon, but had to secure the plans and designs through espionage).

Why did Sweden remain neutral during World War 2 even though its neighboring countries had fallen victim to the Nazis war machine?
Sweden had declared themselves neutral in wars because they had had centuries of war and they wanted to discontinue all warring by or within their nation. They did help their neighboring countries. They also took in 700 Jews who escaped from the Nazis in Denmark. They chose to be neutral because they didn't want the Nazis or the war on their land. They were just concerned with keeping their nation's people safe and that meant staying out of the war. The King of Sweden, Carl Gustav, and the Swedish peoples did not want the Nazis in their nation. They did not want war touching their land or people. They had chosen to be neutral along with Switzerland for the same reasons. They had had hundreds of years of warring. They chose to be neutral and the world accepted their neutrality.
