Kingdom of Denmark and Norway

The Kingdom of Denmark and Norway refers to a historical political arrangement from 1380 to 1814, where Denmark and Norway were united under a single monarch, creating a personal union. This meant that both kingdoms shared the same king but maintained separate governments and laws. The union significantly affected both countries, influencing trade, culture, and their roles in European politics. In 1814, following the Napoleonic Wars, Norway entered a new union with Sweden, marking the end of the personal union with Denmark.
