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 is a Swedish song based on a French Song?
There is a song sung by Swedes when they celebrate midsummer.
One part of the song includes the words;' little frogs, little frog are funny to see, no ears, no ears, no tails have they.' etc.
The tune to which this is sung is a French military march dating to the French Revolution. The original song is La Chason de l'Oignon.
I think, that the song the Swedes sing was introduced by British sailors. Who composed it using the original French tune, but changed the words to fit in with the anti-French feeling during the Napoleonic wars.
