    You misunderstood a bit the celebration of the national day on 17th of May. We are not celebrating some kind of brief independence. We are celebrating that Norway got a constitution and autonomy. The Norwegian union with Sweden was a BIG STEP forward for Norwegian freedom. Denmark almost completely ruled Norway. In contrast Norway was in a union with Sweden. That means Norway had its own parliament, constitution, elections, prime minister, representatives, armed forces etc.
    In fact the full independence in 1905 was really a culmination of an ongoing conflict with Sweden ever since the union began where the conditions on the union was never fully established causing Norway to continuously grab more power for itself while Sweden tried to protest. Norway was quite in open defiance against Sweden by actively building up a more modern military and building up an array of fortresses on the border with Sweden despite us officially being together.
    Norway didn't get this autonomy because the Swedes where just being nice. It was because they got a fair amount of casualties in the war with Norway. Norway's strategy was to deal a strong enough blow against Sweden that they would sit down and negotiate favorable terms for our surrender. Norway knew it could not win against Sweden long term. They just had to convince Swedes that if they did not agree to compromise with Norway, the military conflict would get drawing out, bloody and expensive.
    In 1905 war was very much on the table again. Swedish conservatives wanted to attack Norway. Social democrats wanted to let Norway decide its own faith. The king of Sweden while being hurt over the Norway's desire to leave the union decided that a war with Norway was not desirable. He viewed Norwegians and Swedes as brother people's and did not want bitterness between them. So the wise king of Sweden decided it was better to let Norway go. Norwegian military while smaller was from my understanding more modern at the time. Which would have meant no easy victory for Sweden.

It was created by the advertising agency Bates in Oslo (shut down after 61 years in 2015). I worked on that project. My responsibility was over seeing all the digital aspect of that event. Live streaming, banner ads and online competition. The project was a blast and very nice to get to know people who work at world Guinness records. Nice video!

    the spelling of “akerselva/akerselven” has to do with east and west oslo accents. there i maaaaany accents and dialects in norway. different from one valley to the next. so we probably have 100s to thousands of pronounciations of “akerselva” or any word for that matter!

      bob bobben I don’t know the exact years and stuff but I know that Norway, Iceland and the Fareo islands spoke something similar and Denmark and Sweden spoke some shit, then Denmark colonized Norway and they started speaking Middle Norwegian or some shit. I meant that Norwegian ppl spoke a language kinda similar to icelandic. If ur an expert on this stuff I’m not gonna say you’re wrong, I learned this in school and I don’t really know how much my teachers know about this stuff.
