Denmark–Norway (Danish and Norwegian: Danmark–Norge) is a term for the 16th-to-19th-century multi-national and multi-lingual real union consisting of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Norway (including the then Norwegian overseas possessions: the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and other possessions), the Duchy of Schleswig, and the Duchy of Holstein.
Denmark-Norway was now officially at war with Britain, which led to the British occupation of all the Danish colonies.

The Gunboat War (Danish: Kanonbådskrigen, Norwegian: Kanonbåtkrigen, Swedish: Kanonbåtskriget; 1807–1814) was a naval conflict between Denmark–Norway and Great Britain supported by Sweden during the Napoleonic Wars. The war's name is derived from the Danish tactic of employing small gunboats against the materially superior Royal Navy.
The Danish-Norwegian ships had been partly manned by volunteers, many having little or no naval experience, and as they were not all listed after the battle, it is uncertain what the exact Danish-Norwegian losses were. Estimates vary between 1,135 and 2,215 captured, killed or wounded.
The Dano-Swedish War of 1813–1814 [5] also referred to as Charles John’s campaign against Denmark, or as the War for Norway (Danish: Kampen om Norge) [6] [7] was the Coalition campaign against Denmark-Norway led by the Swedish crown prince Charles John, and it was the last major conflict between Denmark and Sweden.
The Danish-Norwegian presence at the Gold Coast was saved by the English [2] [1] and would go on until 1850. [12] In retaliation for the bombardment of Cape Corso, the Dutch admiral, Michiel de Ruyter tried to recapture the lost possessions by 13 men-of-war. [6]
