Flaggfrågan
Flaggfrågan var en politisk strid mellan Sverige och Norge under unionstiden. Striden handlade om Norges rätt att till sjöss föra en egen handelsflagga utan unionstecknet (norska: unionsmærket), ”det rene flagg”.[1] Kravet och konflikten blev en symbol för de norska självständighetssträvandena och mot Oscar II:s veto fattade Stortinget 1893, 1896 och 1898 beslut om unionsmärkets borttagande. 1899 gav kungen upp och stadfäste lagen vilket ledde till skarpa protester från konservativt håll i Sverige.[2]

Norge-Unionsflagg-1844.svg
Flag of Norway In 1844 a union badge combining Norwegian and Swedish colors was placed at the hoist of both countries' flags. The badge was popularly called Sildesalaten ("the herring salad") from its resemblance to a herring salad. Initially, the union flag was popular in Norway, since it clearly denoted the equal status of the two united states. But as the union with Sweden became increasingly less popular, the Norwegian parliament abolished the union badge from the national (merchant) and state flags in 1899. At the dissolution of the union in 1905, the badge was removed from the navy flag as well. Sweden kept it in all flags until 1905.
