Sweden's wealth inequality was initiated by Thirty Years' War and The Deluge and then only accumulated not impacted by any violent revolution or brutal invasion.

The Deluge didn't cause wealth inequality in Sweden. Some military leaders were, during Swedish wars, rewarded with increased land holdings, but these were later reduced. Sweden's wealth was also created late. Sweden was a poor country until the early 1900eds.
