The Industrial Revolution happened between the late 1700s and early 1800s. During this time, Sweden changed a lot when it came to trade and how things were made and moved around the country.

Here are the main points:

1. Growth of Industries:

   • Sweden's factories were busy!
   • In 1850, Sweden made things worth $21.4$ million kronor.
   • By 1900, that number jumped to $124.9$ million kronor.
   • Industries like iron, textiles (clothes), and timber (wood) were really important for this growth.

2. Better Transportation:

   • The country built a lot of railways.
   • In 1850, there were no railways at all.
   • By 1900, there were about 6,000 kilometers of railways!
   • This made it much quicker to move goods from farms to cities and even to other countries.

3. More Exports:

   • By 1900, Sweden was sending out over 50% of what it made to other countries.
   • This was possible because of better ways to make things and transport them.

All these changes helped Sweden become part of the global trade market. It turned Sweden into a country that could compete with other nations in trading goods.
