Is spanking illegal in Sweden?
As is often the case with legal questions, no simple answer exists. This is because different states have different laws.

Jumping ahead in time, after WWII most of Europe lay in ruin, and so was the majority of the European economies. Sweden, which was officially neutral during the first and second world war, could now with a perfectly viable industry produce many goods that were needed throughout Europe as many countries needed repair. This production from Swedish companies to help the European economies stand on their legs lasted until the 1960s-1970s.
