Commentary:

I have always wanted to make one of these, so I figured I'd make one for my Commonwealth of Scandinavia flag, even if it wasn't all that hard to see what came from where on it.

I stole the idea of making it school book-ish from ~Sapiento, who did something similar with this: [link]

Norway's flag is a white saltire on red in this TL mostly out of convenience, but it was indeed one of the first Norwegian flag proposals from 1814, so it's not as if it doesn't make any sense. (As seen here: [link] )

The Kalmar Union was dissolved as it was OTL. This is a different beast entirely. ;)

"Norway's flag is a white saltire on red in this TL mostly out of convenience, but it was indeed one of the first Norwegian flag proposals from 1814, so it's not as if it doesn't make any sense."

Now the Swedish War Ensign of 1815-1844 makes sense to me, in my flag book it shows the white Saltire on red in the canton of the swallow tailed Swedish flag but no explanation why. Thank you for clearing that up :D

I don't know for sure if that's the reason it was used on the Swedish-Norwegian War Ensign, but it is a possibility, yeah. I've yet to see any sources that confirm or deny it, anyway.

It makes sense if it was though, and more so to me now.

One shouldn't underestimate the Prussians, but we'd probably be able to beat them back, if nothing else. ;)
