Summary, in English

The “long nineteenth century” in European history, reaching from 1789 to 1914, is a chronological concept introduced by the British historian Eric Hobsbawm. The first part of this long century, described in his book The Age of Revolution, 1790-1848, was marked in the Nordic countries by conflicts between reform-oriented liberal forces and recalcitrant conservatives. This conflict played out politically as the identity of the modern nation-state was constructed with the help of two legal and democratically adopted documents: the constitution and a codification. Revolutionary change resulted in a new way of thinking geopolitically. The concept of nation was evaluated in a new way, and national identity became a way to find the Scandinavian citizens’ position on the newly drawn European map. The question of civil marriages was related to issues of interfaith marriages and secularization in modern societies and resulted in the legal reform of civil marriage in Sweden in 1908.
