The five Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden – have a closely entwined history, with some major changes in the mutual combinations. From the end of the fourteenth century three Nordic kingdoms – Denmark, Norway (ruling Iceland), and Sweden (including the Finnish territory) – were united under the same king. In the collapse of this so‐called Kalmar Union (1397–1520) two separate states, Denmark‐Norway (and Iceland) and Sweden (sometimes called Sweden‐Finland in historical literature), were born. These two kingdoms lasted as states until the beginning of the nineteenth century.
