Battle of the Plains of Abraham

[GO-NAD!]

We got rid of the Swedish king in 1905 by noting that he was unable to form a cabinet (a failure to govern), so swoosh he was gone. Unlike the Danish and Norwegian state union, the Swedish king was also the Norwegian king, but it was not a state union. Norway had it’s own constitution since 1814 where the king just happened to be Swedish. Details matters when playing legal hardball.

A war was averted in 1905 but it was a close call.

Sorta like the UK before the act of union between England and Scotland in 1707? Before that, they were separate countries sharing the same monarchy. It was not without similar acrimony, as well.
