The United Kingdoms (of Sweden and Norway) dissolved in 1905, 9 years before the Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. If Dissolution had been delayed until after 1914, would Sweden-Norway have had an impact on WW1?

Doubtful. Given that the Swedish monarchy stayed neutral during World War 1, they are unlikely to have declared for either side during the great war. If they'd declared for either side, I suspect it would have been the entente. This would have caused Germany problems as they would likely have had to station troops to protect their coast in the event of a seaborne invasion. Alternatively, they would have bolstered troops on both fronts, meaning more pressure on Germany and Austria-Hungary. I suspect though that should Russia still have collapsed in this alternative timeline, the result would have been a war between Soviet Russia and Sweden-Norway.
