The United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway (1814-1905) often shorten to Sweden and Norway was a state union between Sweden and Norway. In 1814 Denmark ceded sovereignty of Norway over to Sweden in the Treaty of Kiel. The loss of Finland to Russia, by the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in 1809 fuelled the Swedish demands for compensation, and the Danish defeat in the Napoleonic Wars enabled Sweden to demand Norway as compensation in exchange for Swedish Pomerania (₳|₩).
Norway, which had been ruled as an integral part of the Danish kingdom was not eager to switch allegiances and submit to rule from Stockholm instead, and even if an attempt was made to rally the country for political independence it did not have any military resources to speak of and perhaps more importantly no political allies to support such an endeavour. It was thus obliged to accept the union, but not before securing the right to self-government and autonomy within the union. Sweden was the stronger partner in the union, and even if Norway had secured autonomy for itself, the lack of sovereignty and not having the right to maintain its own international relations ultimately spelled the end of the union and it was dissolved in 1905.
