July 1789 CE
The Swedish term "Theater War" reflects the view in later times that the war in practice had been a theatrical spectacle rather than a "real" martial conflict.
In Norwegian, the war is known as Tyttebærkrigen after the Norwegian word for the mountain cranberry, or lingonberry, in remembrance of how the Norwegian troops, denied assistance by the local population, had to live off the land in berry season.
The almost frivolous Swedish and Norwegian names for the conflict do not reflect the real suffering caused by it: the Danish–Norwegian army lost fifteen hundred to three thousand men to hunger, disease, poor sanitary conditions, and exposure to continual autumn rainfall.
