The Swedish diaspora consists of emigrants and their descendants, especially those that maintain some of the customs of their Swedish culture. Notable Swedish communities exist in the United States, Australia, Canada, Britain and Argentina as well as others. ==History== The New Sweden Company established a colony on the Delaware River in 1638, naming it New Sweden. The colony was lost to the Dutch in 1655. Between 1846 and 1930 roughly 1.3 million people, about 20% of the Swedish population, left the country. In the United States members of the diaspora had access to Swedish films starting in 1922 with ''The Treasure of Arne'' which was shown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Some films were made just for the Swedish American diaspora community such as ''The Film about Sweden'' and ''The Old Land of Dreams''. The first recognition by Sweden of the 19th century emigration to the United States occurred in 1923 with a visit by Nathan Söderblom and the 1926 visit by the crown prince, who would later rule as Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden. He would visit again in 1938. Swedish expatriates in Manhattan celebrate Midsummer as "a particularly grand example of the Swedish diaspora's ability to hold on to its culture while fully integrating on a global scale." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swedish diaspora」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
