| Summary |
"The Swedish-Norwegian Union Crisis" by Karl Nordlund is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide insight into the events surrounding the conflict between Sweden and Norway leading up to the dissolution of their political union. It features a condensed narrative of the history of the crisis alongside important documents related to the issue, highlighting the political maneuvers and negotiations between the two nations. The opening of the book explains the author's intent to outline the origins and developments of the union crisis, which spans several years, and emphasizes the complicated legal and political context underpinning the disagreements. It details Sweden’s long-standing control over foreign affairs within the union, the rising Norwegian desire for equality, and significant attempts at reform that were met with resistance. The text sets the stage for understanding how national sentiments, particularly in Norway, shifted towards independence, ultimately leading to the breakdown of diplomatic negotiations and highlighting the tensions that escalated between the two nations.
