Following Norway's political subordination to the Danish crown in 1537 and the introduction of absolutism in 1660–1661, the two kingdoms were increasingly governed as a centralized state from Copenhagen. The union ended through the Treaty of Kiel on 14 January 1814. Denmark retained Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland.
