	History of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norway was relegated to a virtual provincial status from 1356 until 1814; this period was called "the 400-year-night" by Ibsen during the national romantic period as Norwegian national awareness was rediscovered in the 19th century.
		Norway's power was weakened during this period by the loss of a large part of the population during the Black Death pandemic of 1349-1351.
		In 1814 Denmark-Norway was defeated in the Napoleonic wars and the king was forced to cede Norway to the king of Sweden in the Treaty of Kiel (January 14).
