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. 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.
Norway was severely affected by the Little Ice Age. From 1380 to 1815, with few interruptions, in dynastic union with Denmark (1395-1523 Kalmar Union). The Lutheran Reformation was introduced in 1537.
The union kings resided in Copenhagen; in fact Norway was ruled as a Danish sideland, but maintained her separate institutions. The historical Norwegian sidelands in the North Atlantic came to be ruled from Copenhagen, thus became Danish sidelands over time.
In 1814 Norway adopted a written constitution (Eidsvoll constitution), but soon after had to recognize the dynastic union with Sweden, a union dominated by Stockholm. 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. Norwegian nationalism grew in strength; in 1884 the country got a modernized constitution, in 1905 in a plebiscite the Norwegians voted for separation from Sweden and full independence.
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.
