In the aftermath of the Swedish War of Independence, Norway tried to follow in Sweden's direction and become an independent nation as well. However, Denmark foiled the plan and as a consequence, Norway entered into a union with the Danish crown. They wouldn't get their independence until 1814, though the Norwegians entered into a union with Sweden after that.
Was it plausible for Norway to become an independent nation right after the collapse of the Kalmar Union? Though it might be extremely difficult, with its sparse population, it almost had a chance of becoming independent. Although with control of Iceland, the islands close to Scotland and Greenland, the Norwegians could have built a slightly larger population base, but weather conditions made it difficult.
Moreover, would a bigger collapse of the Kalmar Union also lead to an earlier autonomous or independent Finland as well?
