Synopsis

Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? 
 
In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military "super-highways" to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches.
 
The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed people's interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History's History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden's fascinating history.
 
In this book, you will discover:

-  The Swedes' fierce struggle to gain independence 
-  The "Father of Sweden," King Gustav Vasa, and his dynasty spawned some of the greatest military minds in Europe 
-  How the Swedish Empire achieved success and expanded as far as North America 
-  Sweden's revolutionary war tactics and how they led to victories on the battlefield 
-  Why Sweden adopted its famous policy of neutrality 
-  The hero Raoul Wallenberg and his role in WWII 
-  And much more!

    Emotional manipulation is a powerful yet often subtle form of influence that shapes human interactions in profound ways. It involves deliberately using emotions to control, persuade, or exploit others to achieve a personal objective. Unlike healthy influence, which fosters mutual understanding and respect, manipulation is often deceptive, one-sided, and aimed at serving the manipulator’s interests at the expense of the other person. While some forms of emotional influence can be harmless or even beneficial, manipulation crosses ethical boundaries when it distorts reality, erodes autonomy, and undermines personal well-being. 
    The impact of emotional manipulation can be significant, affecting individuals on both psychological and emotional levels. Victims of manipulation may experience self-doubt, confusion, guilt, and anxiety, often questioning their own perceptions and emotions. Manipulators, on the other hand, gain a sense of power and control, using tactics such as guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and passive-aggressiveness to achieve their desired outcomes. This dynamic is common in personal relationships, workplaces, and even society at large, where emotional influence is used to sway public opinion and reinforce social hierarchies. 
    One of the most challenging aspects of emotional manipulation is its subtle nature. Unlike overt forms of coercion or aggression, manipulation often operates under the surface, making it difficult to recognize until significant damage has been done. It may appear as concern, affection, or logical reasoning, but beneath the surface, it is designed to control another person’s emotions and decisions. In romantic relationships, this can manifest as excessive flattery followed by emotional withdrawal, creating a cycle of dependency. In the workplace, manipulative bosses or colleagues may use subtle guilt or praise to extract extra work without reciprocation.

    The Inuit (consisting of Alaskan Iupiat, Greenlandic Inuit, and Canadian Inuit) and the Yupik (or Yuit) of eastern Siberia and Alaska are described as Eskimo or Eskimos. The Aleut, who live on the Aleutian Islands, are a comparable 3rd group that's usually omitted from the categorization of Eskimo. The 3 groups have a current typical forefather and speak Eskimo-- Aleut languages, which relate. 
    The development of Europeans marks the start of Alaskan Indians' contemporary history. Russians cruising from Siberia in the eighteenth century were the first to make contact, which was uncommon for The USA and Canada. Traders from the east, mainly from The U.S.A. and Canada's eastern towns, didn't come in the area till the 19th century. Christian missionaries were not active in Alaska till the 20th century in some circumstances. 
    In this book, you will learn more about Eskmos, the Aleut people, and much, much more.
