This book explores the impact of the Napoleonic wars on
Danish-Norwegian society and accounts for war experiences and the
transformation of identities among the popular classes and educated
elites alike. The united kingdoms of Denmark-Norway may appear to
have been Napoleon's most loyal ally, but, as this study shows,
this was only because they had nowhere else to go. Finding itself
at war with Britain after the British attack on Copenhagen in 1807
and twice at war with Sweden, the Danish-Norwegian government clung
to Napoleon in defense of the territorial integrity of the
multi-national Danish state. Conversely, this only served to
compromise its unity as war, blockade, economic disruption and
famine bred resentment in Denmark proper, Norway and the
predominantly German duchies of Schleswig and Holstein.
