As we discussed in the previous episode, the union between Norway
and Sweden emerged in the aftermath of a war in 1814. However, it
wasn't a desired arrangement in Norway. It's important to note
that this union was distinct from the earlier union with Denmark.
Unlike the Danish union, Sweden didn't govern Norway directly.
Instead, the majority of governing authority resided in Norway.
This meant that Norway retained its own constitution,
establishing its independent institutions like the Storting
(parliament) and a dedicated government. It was a significant
step towards self-determination for Norway.
