| Popis: | Migration to and from Sweden has always occurred, but since emigration was larger than immigration, there was no need for immigration control. The outbreak of the war changed that. Although few refugees sought shelter in Sweden, immigration control was introduced. The authorities saw immigration legislation as something temporary, but it remained and even expanded after 1918. Although neutrality shaped the self-image of the country as a humanitarian outsider, the war also led to an increasing suspicion of “foreigners” and racist stereotyping. This article describes migration to and from Sweden around the First World War, with a special focus on immigration control and legislation. 1914-1918-Online International Encyclopedia of the First World War |
