United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway
United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway appears on the map from 1815 to 1904. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1815, it covered about 804,282 km².
One of the realms of Swedish Empire. Sweden left the Danish-led Kalmar Union under Gustav Vasa in 1523, and his heirs built a strong, Lutheran, centralised state rich in iron and copper. Gustavus Adolphus turned it into a great power: his reformed army won stunning victories in the Thirty Years' War, and by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 Sweden held lands around the Baltic in Finland, Estonia, Livonia, Pomerania and Bremen.
