History of Norway: A Detailed Exploration from Vikings to Modern Times by Elias Tewolde Norway's past is marked by the Viking Age (793-1066), a time when Norwegian Vikings ventured out, plundered, and established their own realms. Later on, the country joined forces with Denmark in the Kalmar Union (1380-1814) and then formed a union with Sweden (1814-1905). In 1905, Norway regained its independence. Throughout World War II, Germany occupied Norway (1940-1945), but the resistance movement played a crucial role in liberating the nation. Today, Norway is renowned for its flourishing economy, social welfare system, and dedication to sustainability, all of which reflect its prosperous and resilient history. FREE |
