Three Anniversaries

In 2014, the Scandinavian/Nordic countries commemorate three important anniversaries. Below are some links to literature that we provide, related to these events. It is:

• 200 years since the Norwegian constitution was signed at Eidsvoll on May 17, 1814. After the Napoleonic wars, Sweden (with Prussia) was among the winners and Denmark (with France) was among the losers. Norway, having been an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark for 400 years, was ceded to Sweden at the Treaty of Kiel, but during the swap managed to declare its independence before entering into a union with Sweden. Norway got its own constitution, laws, and parliament. Only the king and foreign policy were to be common with Sweden.

  • Henrik Wergeland, Norges konstitutions historie, Samlade Skrifter (1841-1843)
• 150 years since the Second Schleswig War in 1864, from February 1 to October 30. When Prussia and Austria attacked Denmark, many in Norway and Sweden (in the union forged 50 years earlier) wanted to join the war in support of Denmark, but the government refused. This shattered all dreams of a political Scandinavian union. The idealistic student movement known as "Scandinavism" took a new direction, aiming for cultural exchanges instead of political ones. When Italy united in 1866 and Germany in 1871, Scandinavia remained divided.

Even though Finland was a Grand Duchy within the Russian empire from 1809 until 1917, emperor Nicholas II did not draft the Finns. The kings of the independent monarchies Sweden, Denmark, and Norway met in Malmö on December 18-19, 1914 to manifest their neutrality.
