Anglo-Danish Treaty of 1814

The Anglo-Danish Treaty of 1814 was an agreement signed between Britain and Denmark following the Napoleonic Wars. It aimed to restore peace and address territorial disputes. The treaty resulted in Denmark ceding Norway to Sweden, while retaining control over other territories like Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. In exchange, Britain provided financial compensation and guarantees. Essentially, it redefined the political boundaries in northern Europe, helping to stabilize the region and mark a peaceful resolution after years of conflict.
