Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the south of Sweden leaf-bearing trees are prolific, in the north pines and hardy birches dominate the landscape. Sweden was first mentioned in the 1st century, by Roman historian Tacitus, who wrote that the Suiones tribe lived out in the sea and were powerful in both arms and ships. Sweden has a low population density in all but its metropolitan areas, with most of the inland consisting of forests and mountainous wilderness. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sweden

Sweden-Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sweden and Norway had previously been united under the same crown on two occasions, from 1319 to 1343, and briefly from 1449 to 1450 in opposition to Christian of Oldenburg who by the Danes was elected king of the Kalmar Union. In Norway it was a part of constitutional law known as "Rigsakten", and in Sweden it was a set of provisions under regular law and was known as "Riksakten". Both parliaments revoked the Act of Union October 16, and the deposed king Oscar II of Sweden renounced his claim to the Norwegian throne and recognized Norway as an independent kingdom on October 26. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sweden-Norway

A Brief Comparison between the Economies of Sweden and Norway Norway and Sweden’s past primary industries, which fueled their development throughout the twentieth century, were shipping, fishing and ore by-products for Norway, and forestry and ore by-products for Sweden. Norway and Sweden have both followed the trend of shifting their labor forces from primary industries like fishing and forestry to service oriented industries over the past century. Norway was (partially due to the Second World War, from which Sweden abstained) significantly poorer than Sweden by the middle of the twentieth century. econc10.bu.edu /economic_systems/Country_comparisons/Sweden_Norway.htm

In 1438 his deposition was declared by Norway and Sweden, and his nephew, Duke Christopher of Bavaria, was elected king. She placed Danish officials in Sweden and forced the Church of that country to accept Danish bishops; the result was often unfortunate, as in the appointment of the Archbishop of Upsala (1408). www.newadvent.org /cathen/11117b.htm

Sweden Info Sweden emerged from the Napoleonic Wars with the acquisition of Norway from Denmark and with a new royal dynasty stemming from Marshal Jean Bernadotte of France, who became King Charles XIV (181844). The artificial union between Sweden and Norway led to an uneasy relationship, and the union was finally dissolved in 1905. Sweden, which occupies the eastern part of the Scandinavian peninsula, is the fourth-largest country in Europe, and is one-tenth larger than California. wjwarnick.tripod.com /warnickfamilyhistory/id9.html

Norway Travel However, Sweden recognized Norway's independence in September 1905, after a ballot in which all but 184 Norwegians voted for independence. Norway is a long, narrow country on the northwestern edge of the European continent. Norway's merchant fleet, one of the largest in the world, is also an important source of income for the country. www.northerner.com /norway.html

Sweden and Norway One interesting thing I observed in both Sweden and Norway is that it is not usual for there to be porters or bellmen in the hotels, train stations, or airports, so it is necessary to be able to carry one's own luggage. I had friends from Sweden and Norway, who were studying in this country, and their descriptions of the beauty of Scandinavia renewed my interest in exploring. Bergen is an ancient city that, until the beginning of the 14th century, was the seat of the medieval kingdom of Norway. ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/meow/SwedenNorway.htm

Articles - Union between Sweden and Norway On November 4, 1814, the parliament of Norway revised the constitution and elected Charles XIII of Sweden as the new king of Norway. Only on his very ungracious compliance did the United Kingdom also promise to countenance the union of Norway and Sweden (Treaty of Stockholm, March 3, 1813); and, on April 23, Russia gave her guarantee to the same effect. But the acquisition of Norway might make up for the loss of Finland; and Bernadotte, now known as the crown prince Charles John or "Karl Johan", argued that it might be an easy matter to persuade the anti-Napoleonic powers to punish Denmark for her loyalty to France by wrestling Norway from her. www.gaple.com /articles/Union_between_Sweden_and_Norway

Charles XIV, king of Sweden and Norway Norway, which had declared its independence, was subdued, and by a majority vote of the Norwegian Storting (1814) the country was united with Sweden under a single king. Gustavus IV of Sweden abdicated and was succeeded by his aged and childless uncle, Charles XIII. He favored the acquisition of Norway from Denmark rather than the reconquest of Finland from Russia, and thus he threw in his lot with Russia and England against Napoleon and Denmark. www.infoplease.com /ce6/people/A0811460.html

TdF-93 A long correspondence ensued until I'd convinced him that a ride from Bergen on the coast of Norway and eastwards into Sweden would probably be a good idea. On in the rain, past Mongstad, Norway's largest oil refinery, to give a bit of contrast to the otherwise beautiful scenery, and another ferry further north to the next campsite. A quick backtrack to the old church in Borgund (one of Norway's chief tourist attractions) to get some pictures in daylight, then up the valley again. www.ihpva.org /torsten/TdF-93.html

Lapphunds - Herding on the Web Their homeland is the region extending across the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Many Lapphunds in Sweden were taken south as pets and the breed eventually became concentrated in the hands of people in the southern part of the country, who focused on conformation qualities. After the war, representatives of the kennel clubs of both Finland and Sweden sent representatives to the Lapp region to select foundation stock, but differences of opinion soon arose, breeders in the two countries desiring slightly different types. glassportal.com /herding/lapphund.htm

Treaty of Kiel The Treaty of Kiel, was a settlement between Sweden and Denmark-Norway on January 14 1814, whereby the Danish king, a loser in the Napoleonic wars, ceded Norway to the king of Sweden, in return for the Swedish holdings in Pomerania. A short war with Sweden later that year led to the ousting of Christian Frederik, and the Norwegian Storting electing Karl XIII of Sweden as King of Norway, creating the union between Sweden and Norway. On hearing news of the treaty, the Prince of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, Christian Frederik, the resident vice-roy in Norway, founded a Norwegian independence movement with the surreptitious goal of re-uinification with Denmark. www.1-free-software.com /en/wikipedia/t/tr/treaty_of_kiel.html
