The CampaignagainstNorway was fought between Sweden and Norway in the summer of 1814.
By the Treaty of Kiel Denmark had to cede Norway to Sweden, due to the kingdom of Denmark-Norway being aligned with France in the Napoleonic Wars.
Norway lost its independence, but aquired a rather independent position within the union; which in the years would be used to advance Norwegian independence.
On January 14, 1814, at the Treaty of Kiel, Norway was ceded to Sweden.
The Swedish king, Karl XIII rejected the premise of an independent Norway and launched a military campaign on 27 July 1814 with an attack on the Hvaler islands and the city of Fredrikstad.
The Swedish army was superior in numbers, was better equipped and trained, and was led by one of Napoleon's foremost generals, the newly elected Swedish crown prince, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte.
