==== Interception of the Franco-Swedish Telegraph (June 1937) ====
In June 1937, British intelligence intercepted a secret diplomatic communication between France and the Kingdom of [[Sweden]]. The diplomatic communication was sent to French ambassador to Sweden, Alexandre Mallet, instructing him to convince the Swedish state to join the Tripartite Coalition and pre-emptively attack Norway, which declared neutrality in the war but allied to Great Britain. This leaked communication solidified public opinion against the Tripartite Coalition. In August 1937, Norway joined the Cordial League and declared war against the Tripartite Coalition. Sweden remained neutral throughout the war.
