Korea and neutrality: Sweden responded to the Korean War by dispatching a field hospital unit (Swenecfor) under UN auspices, maintaining its tradition of humanitarian engagement without joining the fighting.

In the chronology of the Swedish model, this anchors 1950 under Tage Erlander as a year shaped by institutions, public conflict, reform, or security policy rather than cabinet arithmetic alone.

Source confidence is B: the basic event is promoted, while broader interpretation still depends on the cited source tier and later primary-source upgrades.
