blodhbränslans

Blodhbränslans, also known as the Bloodbath, is a term used in Swedish to describe the period of political turmoil and violence that occurred in Sweden from 1973 to 1976. The term was coined by the Swedish journalist and author Jan Myrdal to describe the intense political conflict and the use of violence by both the left and right-wing extremist groups during this time. The Bloodbath was characterized by a series of bombings, assassinations, and other acts of violence, primarily targeting political figures, journalists, and other public figures. The period was marked by a deep polarization in Swedish politics, with the left-wing Social Democratic Party and the right-wing Moderate Party being the main protagonists. The Bloodbath had a significant impact on Swedish politics, leading to a shift in the political landscape and the eventual rise of the Center Party as a major force in Swedish politics. The period is also notable for the role of the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) in investigating and countering the extremist groups involved in the violence. The Bloodbath remains a controversial and complex topic in Swedish history, with differing interpretations of its causes and consequences.
