How did Norway and Sweden split?

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.


What wars has Sweden been involved in?
