In 1814, the Kingdom of Norway briefly tried to regain independence. Although legally a separate kingdom, since the 16th century it shared the monarch with Denmark. Norway was a subordinate partner in the combined state, whose government was based in Copenhagen. Due to its alliance with France during the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark was forced to sign the Treaty of Kiel in January 1814 ceding Norway to Sweden.
