What are some potential points of divergance for an independent Norway to be created during the Congress of Vienna? Would it be viable? How would such a thing look in practice?

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...

In OTL, Bouvet Island was annexed by the Norwegians at the end of 1927 in the wake of the Norvegia expedition, which was the first to make an extended stay on the island. But until then, it was the British who had possessed that island, ever since George Norris (the captain of a whaling...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Langnes The Battle of Langnes was the last battle of the Norway swedish war of 1814. The battle ended in a stalemate with the Norwegian army able to retreat in good order across the Langnes River. This showed that the war was going to go on far longer...

In the real world despite a promise of Swedish help from the king of Sweden and Norway, Denmark fought alone. In an alternate world, what would fulfilling the promise look like? what would it take for the Swedish government to agree to help Denmark? What would opinions be like in Norway? (who...

This is a timeline about Eric VII of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, better known as Eric of Pomerania. Often considered the man who ruined the Kalmar Union which his adopted mother created, Eric is generally seen as a very unsuccesful King, but he is also a very important one. Some historians...

A lot of the timelines and discussion about the Norse exploration of North America I've seen tend to focus on the initial discoveries and settlements, and wether or not it would be feasible for them to survive on their own. I think that makes a lot of sense narratively, but lately I've instead...

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but apparently, the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway was the next country to get the Congo had Belgium not gotten it. Let's say that in an alternate timeline that Belgium's claim to the Congo is declined at the Berlin Conference by the other countries...

I'm writing a timeline where Christian II of Denmark isn't deposed from his position as King of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, due to him not carrying out the Stockholm Bloodbath. At first I was initially thinking that it wouldn't have a big effect on the course of The Reformation in Scandinavia...

Union of The Three Crowns: The History of The Nordic Empire Chapter 0: Prologue For better or for worse, the world from 1492 to 1945 was dominated by Europe. During this time, the great empires of Europe, whether the British, French, Spanish or Russians were the main players on the global...

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...

The Battle of Brunkeberg was a crushing setback for Denmark and the Kalmar Union, since it secured Sweden's independence from Copenhagen for the next few decades. Although John and Christian II did control the kingdom later, they only did so for a brief amount of time before it broke away for...

During the battle of Narvik it looked like the Germans were going to be defeated however the Allies decided to withdraw due to the events in France. The Norwegian army after the Allies had evacuated then capitulated. What if the Allies never withdrew and the Germans lost the battle of Narvik...

In OTL, the childless Kalmar Union king Eric of Pomerania tried unsuccessfully for years to get his paternal first cousin (Bogislav IX, duke of Pomerania) to be named his universal heir in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. This was stymied when the Danish estates rejected Bogislav in 1436 and brought...

With the fall of the Swedish Empire at the beginning of the 18th Century, Sweden had become a lesser player in European affairs, after the end of the Great Northern War, and the death of King Charles XII. They would play a minor role in the Napoleonic Wars, switching sides alongside Russia...

I've again started to look to construct a scenario in which Haakon VI of Norway marries Elizabeth of Holstein instead of the future Margaret I of Denmark. I'm trying to research what other potential husband she could have. Margaret was born in 1353 for an age assessment. With a...

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...

That may be ASB, maybe even very ASB, but I'm curious because I've seen threads on Catholic Norway, romance-speaking Iceland and Denmark being annexed by a latin country as well so I wonder if it would be possible for the "land of the norse" to speak a latinised language(not necessarily be...

Although Germany managed to conquer Norway as their ultimate objective, they lost several ships and failed in snatching the Norwegian King who was on the run. Let's say that everything turned well for the Germans such as Blucher not sinking and the King getting captured? How would Norway fare then?

In this timeline I will be exploring the idea of a more independent and functional Kingdom of Norway throughout the 15th Century. This is my first real timeline, so hopefully the quality increases as I write. Updates will be very random, and mostly when I feel like writing. Reviews and feedback...
