17 Mai. Norway celebrates gift from Sweden (Norway)

Had soft ice and hot dogs been invented back then?

Ah, yes, 1814 was when the Danes surrendered Glückstadt to glorious Sweden and the shaft of the Danish appendicitis, Holstein, fell in Swedish hands

Our rush jobs is what the rest of the world would called perfectly planned and precise operation.

It was an intense constitutional convention, and the northerners didn't even get representation, as they used too much time to get down south.

In the end we fell under Sweden a bit quicker than needed, because the prince-regent turned king decided to surrender instead of letting a battle go ahead. The whole campaign had lead up to that battle, but the king, having seen men lay down their lives for him in previous battles decided to surrender. (after the death of an officer, he said: "too much blood for my sake!". The response from an officer next to him, who was there to report that they were ready to advance was: "rather too little, your majesty")

If it's a Swedish L, well It's even bigger L for Denmark, it was swaped for Saxe-Lauenburg that was lost a few decades later . But who cares, Norway is Norway and I'm glad they did the cut. I would feel strange to say that I'm from Sweden-Norway if asked.

Bruh they got it handed from the british after the british destroyed our fleet and bombed the shit out of pur capital, no gifts here

how norwegian was even this union

Thanks Denmark! 🥰

Sweden had a choice between war or peace in 1905, and let Norway go. The Consul affair, and the Swedish political response to it (shoutout to Boström), was beyond atrocious and had incensed the entire Norwegian population into an irreversible frenzy.

Given the Swedish experiences with invasions of Norway (1716 and 1718), and the unilateral support for independence in the Norwegian population, Sweden saw the writing on the wall and did the only sensible thing.
