The Second Great War

Well, what would you do as a government if a hostile nation (or two) moves troops into your nation's terrain without your permission to seize some of your most important strategic natural resources in the guise of helping a neighbouring nation? Just bury your head in the sand and allow them to go ahead with it?
Since they don't touch Swedish soil according to the OP I don't know what you're on about. Hells, the fact that it's considered an invasion is kind of suspect, since pretty much all of Norway's neighbours are in on it, and it's apparently more a transshipment at that.

There are many other things that are more "out there" about this TL.
Yeah, but most of them have already been mentioned, this one hadn't been until then.

It was clearly said the Anglo-French "invade" Norway and Sweden declares war after that. It would seem to mean the invasion happens against the will of both Oslo and Stockholm and that Norway is de facto at war against the Allies. If the Anglo-French troops are not on Swedish soil, there is all the reason for Stockholm to believe they would be soon: there is simply no reason to invade Norway "to help Finland" if you are not ready to take on Sweden after that. And we do know that IOTL the help for Finland was mainly just a ruse to take control of the Swedish iron ore mines; I see nothing in the TL to suggest TTL would be different, the first POD being only in 1938 no less.
 
Come on guys we are better than this! Corrections not condemnation.
When a TL is as badly written as this, the two are quite similar.

The British, French Germans and Italians you mean.

I'm still wondering at Sweden's motivations, surely they don't want the soviets on their doorstep.

Evidence or it's a conspiracy theory.

I'd assume they would be holding on to their traditional neutrality as they did during the Winter War IOTL. From that mindset having Soviets on their doorstep is still preferable to being dragged to a war against the Soviets.

Really? The OTL Allied plans to secure the Swedish iron ore mines along with the intervention to the Winter War to deny them to the enemy are quite well documented. From the Wikipedia article on the Winter War:

The British, for their part, wanted to block the flow of iron ore from Swedish mines to Germany because the Swedes supplied up to 40% of Germany's need.[154] The matter was raised by the British Admiral Reginald Plunkett on 18 September 1939, and the next day Winston Churchill brought the subject in the Cabinet.[155] On 11 December, Churchill opined that the British should gain a foothold in Scandinavia with the objective of helping the Finns but without a war on the Soviet Union.[156] Because of the heavy German reliance on Swedish iron, Hitler had made it clear to the Swedish government in December that any Allied troops on Swedish soil would immediately provoke a German invasion.[157]
