The Napoleon War
Never mess with a neat-freak!
This is the main reason why Norway and Denmark still feel a bit funny about Sweden even today. HISTORY TIME!
The Napoleon war was basically with France one on side and England on the other, with each of them having a number of countries supporting them. At the beginning most countries supported France, and Sweden was one of the few who supported England from the very beginning.
As the war went on, more and more countries left France and went over to England, with Denmark as one of the very few who stayed with France to the bitter end.
When England won, Denmark was of course seen as one of the big loosers who deserved to be punished for staying on the "evil" side, so it was seen as only fair that Sweden got Norway. The Danes were ready to just give in and get it over with, but the Dane who had been put in charge of Norway suggested that they allowed Norway to break loose from Denmark instead. That way Sweden couldn’t touch them.
Denmark agreed to do this, and Norway finally got it’s own constitution. But that didn’t stop Sweden. When they were told Denmark could no longer hand Norway over, Sweden simply invaded Norway and took it by force. That was the last war between the Scandinavian countries.
You gotta' love how Sweden went from being one of the "good guys" to being a jerk. History is fun like that.

Technically, Denmark, Britain wouldn't be giving Sweden anything, but the Council of Vienna. Also, really you backed the small dude with the temper and general powerlust. Way to go.

For some reason, I view France as the good guy & England as the bad guy. Napoleon wanted to liberate alot of countries while England wanted to keep the monarchy. This is at least what I learned from History classes. And since it has nothing to do with Israel, I believe it's unbiased(EVERYTHING that has to do with Israel is biased in Israeli history classes, such as Danes being the super-duper-good-guys, England being jerks and the French being lousy warriors).

I love how whenever your characters get pissed, they put on their angry eyes and grow fangs. It's so amusing. XD

As a Norwegian, I hesitate to defend the Swedes, but they did after all agree to recognize the newly written Norwegian constitution and accepted a personal union rather than a complete annexation. In other words, the Swedish king would also be the elected (at least in theory) king of Norway as a separate kingdom, as opposed Norway becoming a province of Sweden. Not saying they weren't bastards, of course, just that they were rather more reasonable than your average imperialist. :o)

You missed out some important details. Motsly countries hold with Frances at first because France had conquered them - they had no choice. And the only reason why we hold with France wa because England bombed our ships - so we had no choice either.
