Basically what it says in the title, what is the latest possible POD which leads to a world where Denmark-Norway is the most powerful Scandinavian state?

Assuming that both Denmark-Norway remains intact and Finland stays a part of Sweden, with a point of divergence in sometime close to the Napoleonic wars, what would become of scandinavism? It had already started to some small degree during the late 1700s (for example during Gustav IIIs visit to...

I got inspired by this threads central topic: Link So apparently King Frederick William 1(The Soldier King) of Prussia was intended to marry Queen Ulrika Elenora of Sweden at the start of 1700, but on the verge of certification Charles XII pulled the plug on these plans for reasons unknown...

Assuming Denmark-Norway remains after the napoleonic wars (perhaps by avoiding the gunboat war and Denmark not joining with Napoleon) would the period of time Denmark's kings can continue ruling absolutely change? If so how?

During the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark-Norway and Sweden (Who owned Finland at the time.) changed greatly after the war. On one side, Denmark-Norway initially tried to stay neutral, but later sided with the French after Britain blew up their fleet, twice in 1801 and then 1807. In the end, Denmark...

I wonder is there any scenerio when Denmark with Norway is more ambitious player in colonial race. After all, they are not strangers to colonization - they had colonies in New World via Danish West Indies. Iceland and Greenland are at least in theory not bad places to support travel to North...

Technically, Denmark's current Queen Margaret II is the country's first Queen Regnant, her namesake Margaret I never officially having held the title of Queen in that country. Before her, no woman ever officially sat on the Danish throne, although there have been several influental Queen...

The Swedish War of Liberation was the conflict that led to the rise of the House of Vasa in Sweden and ended the Kalmar Union for good. In spite of its ultimately victorious conclusion, however, the war began as a small peasant uprising, and even after it grew in size it took the rebels two...

OTL, King Frederick V of Denmark-Norway had two sons: the mentally-ill Christian VII from his first marriage, and the benignly incompetent Arveprins Frederik from his second. But let's say that, in a drunken stupor, he manages to conceive a third son with his second wife Juliane Marie, who ends...

Ingeborg of Norway (1301-1361) was the only legitimate child of Haakon V of Norway, and early in her life it was recognized that her marriage would be crucial for Norway's dynastic future. She ended up marrying Erik Magnusson, Duke of Södermanland and brother of King Birger of Sweden, but not...

How could Christian II avoid being deposed and hold on to the throne of Denmark and Norway until his death in 1559? How much of a difference would that make in Danish and Scandinavian politics? Wikipedia says he tried to increase the rights of commoners and bourgeoisie at the expense of the...

Let's say that these two boys manage to live into old age while their brother John dies as OTL in 1532, what happens to them? Would they be raised in Lierre like their OTL siblings? Would they play an important part in Habsburg politics like their brother John was destined to and who would they...

Before the Kalmar War of 1611-13 broke out Gustav II of Sweden nearly found himself in a marriage with Elisabeth of Bohemia, who was James I/VI's daughter. OTl, the wife of Friedrich V of the Palatinate Electorate. It was only the Kalmar War that made marriage impossible as Anne, who had been...

So in my TL (link below), England and thus Britain stays Catholic, and Denmark-Norway is more successful in maritime expeditions. I don't know how strong a correlation ons can draw between "Protestant->Capitalist Innovations and First Industrializers" but one cannot deny that Britain and the...

I don't know the details of Scandinavian/Nordic history, but I'd like to explore all scenarios where after Napoleonic Wars, Denmark-Norway remains united while Finland remains Swedish. How long those arrangements could be kept? Till today? How different from OTL the whole region would like...

Otl, Scandinavia united into a single legislative body with its capital of Kalmar in the 1530s, after a failed swedish rebellion, instead of the three kingdoms of the kalmar union just being in personal union. Scandinavia quickly became a great power, conquering the baltic coast in the east and...

Otl, the scandinavian nations never really had colonial empires. Sweden I get considering it had a Russia and a PLC and a Prussia-- point being Sweden had its hands full as a land empire and didn't need to expand overseas. But Denmark-Norway? Their biggest threat was Sweden itself, as well as...

Otl, Catherine's, or rather Sophia's future husband, Peter the Third, was originally heir of sweden, only gaining the throne of mighty Russia through Elizabeth's proclamation. But what if she didnt, and Sophia married him as Heir of Sweden? Could she have couped the young king and restore Sweden...

How the swedes could prevent the danes from intervening after the Treaty of Roskilde, capturing John Casimir II and securing the claim to the throne (recalling that the Lithuanian nobility had already ceded to Charles X Gustav)? That is, total victory in the Second Northern War.

What if Charles August of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg had not died in a horse riding accident in 1810, thus securing his position as crown prince of Sweden and butterflying away the adoption of French general Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte as heir? Considering that Charles August was...
