Defence Reform of 1901 (Sweden)

Defense Reform 1901 or 1901 Declaration (today called Defense Order) was a defense reform voted in the Swedish Parliament on May 23, 1901.

Background
Defense Reform is one of the most recent reversals of the Swedish Armed Forces. Since 1682, when Karl XI introduced the Divisional Workshop, the country had the same type of defense thinking, but for several reasons it became necessary to reform the country's defense and, above all, the system with which staffed relations.

The solution was to introduce military service. In 1812, the division was completed with the General Enforcement Institution, which was a form of military service and applied to all gunmen between the ages of 20 and 25. During the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century, it was found that the old system was out of date and ineffective. For a long time, different solutions were discussed without any results. In 1873 the Riksdag then took the formal decision to replace the ward with a new system based on permanent officers and so-called 'civil servants in Sweden].

In 1901 the weapon exercise time of the military personnel at the infantry and equality troops was first-served in 150 days and three regiment exercises in 30 days, at the cavalry, field pilgrimage and field engineers for 281 days and two regiment exercises in 42 days and at the Navy for 300 days. Furthermore, it was decided that the peace organization in all infantry regimes would be extended with a third battalion. In this way, the number of companies expanded in a regiment from eight to twelve.

The defense's annual cost was 1910 around 50 million,  which corresponded to approximately 1.7% of GDP.  [https: //www.riksbank.se/en/omriksbanken/riksbankensuppdrag/forskning/historisk-monetar-statistik-for-verige/ Historical Monetary Statistics for Sweden], Riksbanken
