They didn't, really. Since the early Middle Ages, Norway had been part of Denmark. Around 1820, Denmark ceded Norway to Sweden, but Norway then immediately declared itself independent and Sweden never had the military power to conquer it by force. Until 1905 the two countries existed as a 'personal union', two basically independently operating countries with one king, the king of Sweden. In 1905 it was decided by the Norwegian Parliament that Norway should have its own king. The king of Sweden declined the offer to have one of his younger sons on the Norwegian throne, and the throne was then offered to one of the younger sons of the king of Denmark.
Sweden has had 26 wars ranging from 1521 (the Danish liberation war two years before Gustav Vasa climbed the throne) to 1814 (the campaign against Norway when Sweden forced Norway into a union. Before this Sweden was in several wars as well, and in between Sweden have been at war with Poland, Russia, France and several parts of what we now call Germany.
