Norway in 1905

Norway declared its independence from Sweden on June 7, 1905 and was recognised by Sweden as an independent constitutional monarchy on October 26, 1905 when Oscar II renounced his claim to the Norwegian throne under the personal union of the kingdom of Sweden-Norway. This event was quickly followed by Haakon VII's ascension to the Norwegian throne on November 27 the same year, and was the result of a series of events that almost led to a Norwegian war of independence against Sweden.
