Norway proper The famed country of origin of Viking raids, explorations and conquests, Norway was unified by King Harald Fairhair (872-930). Christianity was introduced 995-1030. Norway was divided into 4 tings (law districts) : Borgarting, Eidsivating, Frostating and Gulating. In the 13th century a standardized law for all of Norway was introduced. Norway was severely affected by the Little Ice Age. From 1380 onward, Norway was part of Dynastic Unions, with the union kings residing in Copenhagen (Denmark) respectively Stockholm (Sweden). In 1536 the Lutheran reformation was introduced, and the country reorganized in len. In 1660 the len were renamed amt, and in 1671 the 4 stiftsamts of Trondheim, Bergenhus, Akershus and Agdesiden were introduced. In 1658, Norway ceded Båhuslen, Jämtland, Härjedalen (and temporarily Trondheim Stift, until 1660) to Sweden. In 1905 Norway regained full independence; in 1919 the amts were renamed fylke. Norway maintained neutral in World War I and was under German occupation 1940-1945 in World War II. A member of NATO since 1949. Two motions to join the EU have been rejected by the Norwegian population in referenda. Norway is a welfare state, expenses the country can afford because of her oil industry. The Norwegian Empire In 1260 Greenland, in 1262 Iceland were reduced to Norwegian sidelands, a status the Shetland Islands, the Faroe Islands and the Orkney Islands already held. The Shetlands and Orkneys were pawned to Scotland in 1468. When the dynastic union between Denmark and Norway was dissolved in 1814, Denmark held on to Norway's ancient Atlantic possessions (Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland). In 1925 Norway annexed Svalbard (Spitsbergen), in 1927 Bouvet Island (in the South Atlantic). In 1932 Norwegian forces landed in East Greenland (an uninhabited part of Greenland); the conflict was settled by arbitration in favor of Denmark. |

Dynastic Unions From 1380 to 1814, with a brief interruption, the crown of Norway was held by the Kings of Denmark, most of whom did not even visit Norway. From 1814 to 1905 the crown of Norway was held by the King of Sweden. While the Danish monarchy was not much resisted in Norway, the Swedish monarchy was unpopular. In the 19th century Norway's economy boomed (export of timber, development of a merchant marine), and Norway's economic interests (free trade) collided with Sweden's economic policy of protectionism. In a 1905 plebiscite the Norwegians overwhelmingly voted for independence. Norway since 1990 . Norway 1969-1990 . Norway 1949-1969 . Norway in the Korean War . Norway 1945-1949 . Norway 1939-1945 .
