A different view at the Norwegian history This part tells about how the first Norsemen settled next to the icecap, sailed off course and 'discovered' America but decided to return home and become Social Democrats. The first settlers probably arrived 10,000 to 11,000 years ago, and they must have been tough. How else could they have come to Norway? Northern Europe has been covered by ice four times in the course of the past million years, and the last ice age was then en in retreat. They came to the foot of the glacier, in hide boats and hollowed-out tree trunks, driven by curiosity, or perhaps chased from their homelands. Some may have come overland. A bare strip of land is thought to have remained in both the south a north of Norway throughout the last ice age, and there are experts who believe that a tribe could have survived the long winter there, living like the Eskimos have done until recent times. Some settled in the south, others in the north. Scientists cannot agree as to who came first; it seems that archaeologists are as regionally biased as anybody else. One site found near the Oslo fjord is assumed to date back 10,000 years. But the richest finds are in the west and north of Norway. These nomadic hunters made their first tools of antler and bone. In his history of Norway, Professor Andreas Holmsen reflects on the uses of these tools: "(They) fully covered the needs of primitive people. They could make boats of wood and hide and row among the skerries and islands, they could shoot seals and whales with their excellent bone harpoons, and they could fish with hooks or spears of bone. Inland they could kill game, such as reindeer, moose, deer, bears and wild horses, with bows and arrows or with javelins. On the seashore they could gather shellfish with their bare hands, and we know that they had ways of catching sea birds and animals with out any implements at all."

Norway 1945-1949 Stamps issued by Quisling Government; the surcharge was intended to indirectly support the war effort. Norway during World War II In 1939, at the outbreak of World War II, Norway declared neutrality. Public opinion, however, sympathized with the Allies, for the Norwegians were convinced parliamentary democrats, and had strong economic ties with Britain. As late as 1935, the Norwegian Storting had awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to German pacifist CARL VON OSSIETZKY (who died in 1936 from the treatment received in a Nazi concentration camp). Norway also was host to many German exiles, such as future chancellor WILLY BRANDT. On April 9th 1940, German troops invaded Denmark and Norway, without a previous declaration of war (OPERATION WESERUEBUNG). Vidkun Quisling, head of the fascist NASJONAL SAMLING, called on Norway's troops, over the radio, not to resist. They did not listen; resistance continued into June. However, neither the Norwegians nor British troops who had landed were able to stop the Germans. The royal family, as well as the country's leading democratic politicians, left the country for England, where a GOVERNMENT-IN-EXILE was established. Occupied Norway was of importance for Germany's nuclear bomb project, because Norway had a Heavy Water Plant at Ryukan. Norwegian Official Stamp. As King Hakon VII. had fled to Britain, the traditional (royal) Norwegian emblem, the standing lion, had been replaced by the eagle holding the wheel, the emblem of the Nasjonal Samling.

The Norwegian royal line died out in 1387, and the country entered a period of union with Denmark. By 1586, Norway had become part of the Danish Kingdom. In 1814, as a result of the Napoleonic wars, Norway was separated from Denmark and combined with Sweden. The union persisted until 1905, when Sweden recognized Norwegian independence. The Norwegian Government offered the throne of Norway to Danish Prince Carl in 1905. After a plebiscite approving the establishment of a monarchy, the Parliament unanimously elected him king. He took the name of Haakon VII, after the kings of independent Norway. Haakon died in 1957 and was succeeded by his son, Olav V, who died in January 1991. Upon Olav's death, his son Harald was crowned as King Harald V. Norway was a nonbelligerent during World War I, but as a result of the German invasion and occupation during World War II, Norwegians generally became skeptical of the concept of neutrality and turned instead to collective security. Norway was one of the signers of the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949 and was a founding member of the United Nations. The first UN General Secretary, Trygve Lie, was a Norwegian. Under the terms of the will of Alfred Nobel, the Storting (Parliament) elects the five members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee who award the Nobel Peace Prize to champions of peace.

Generally one might say that it is the history of local communities and institutions, or perhaps more precisely that local history occupies the stratum in historical studies below the national level but above the level of the family and individual. These definitions both have a weak point in that they focus solely upon local history as a branch of the study of the past. From a Norwegian point of view, however, local historical activity has another important aspect: it is a popular movement . This dual aspect of local history, its character of being both a branch of research and a movement with considerable popular support, gives local history an extraordinarily strong position in Norway.

FREE WEB SITE HOSTING Web Hosting Service Web Hosting Domain Free Website ... WebSite Hosting History of Witchcraft in Norway by Stein Jarving The first Norwegian Coven was scarcely two years old, in 1992, with only ten members initiated in a basically Gardnerian tradition, the Whitecroft, when we were asked to host a gathering of European Covens; possibly in excess of 100 witches coming from 10 countries. We accepted with trepidation; neither of us had any prior experience in arranging large events, most of us lived far apart, we were relatively poor, had jobs and families to care for, and a gathering of witches was an awesome prospect for our tiny group. But we accepted the honour, determined to make it happen - the Norwegian way. Previous gatherings I had been to had been held at beautiful, well-appointed venues, small chalets in the woods, with modern kitchens and hot showers. We decided that the Norwegian one, in a country where privacy is more easily come by, should emphasise experiencing the powers of nature, close up, in a setting where the elements would be most tangible in their presence. If only we had known how! We selected for our venue a couple of tiny mountain farms, in a shallow valley with a lake, close by a cliffside, dropping 800 feet into a wide, deep fjord. There were fields and woods there, with some enclosed, very private glades in the forest below, were it slanted down towards the fjord. In the lake there was trout and beavers, in the woods moose were encountered daily. But the lodgings were run down farm buildings, basic really, with forty beds, only five showers for a hundred people, and as many toilets. It would be a test for that Craft spirit of closeness to nature, treading softly on Her skin, recycling and composting, sharing and walking with the woodland inhabitants. Oh yes, we had it all set up for the perfect event, naively trusting the weather to be perfect. And then it rained - and rained.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... N > Norway A B C D ... Z Norway The great majority belong officially to the Lutheran state Church, but on account of liberal laws there is a rapid development of sects. Catholics did not regain religious liberty until the middle of the nineteenth century. Reports as to their numbers vary from 1500, as given in the Protestant ). Eccleciastically the country is divided into 6 dioceses, with 83 provosts or deans, and 450 pastors. The largest city and the royal residence is Christiania (230,000 inhabitants), the seat of government, of the Parliament (Storthing), of the chief executive, of the state university, and of other higher schools. The most important commercial city is Bergen (80,000 inhabitants), important even in the Middle Ages and for a long time controlled by the Hanseatic League. Trondhjem, formerly Nidaros, a city of 40,000 inhabitants, was earlier the see of the Catholic archbishops, and the place where the Catholic kings were crowned and buried. Its fine cathedral, now in process of restoration, contains the bones of St. Olaf, the patron saint of Norway. The army is not highly trained; men between twenty-three and thirty-three years of age are liable for military duty. The modest well-manned navy is only used for coast defence. HISTORY Unlike the Swedes and Danes, the Norwegians were not organized even so late as the ninth century. The name of king was borne by the chiefs and heads of separate clans, but their authority was limited and the rights of the subjects very extensive. Only by marauding expeditions were the Vikings able to gain honour and wealth, and at times also to acquire control of extensive districts. Their early history is lost in the fabulous tales of the bards. In 872, Harold Haarfager (Fair-Haired), after a decisive sea-fight near Stavanger, established his authority over all the clans. Those refusing to submit left the country and their possessions were confiscated. When Harold divided his kingdom among several sons, its permanence seemed once more uncertain, but

The first men to appear in what is now Norway, emerged from dim pre-history when the great inland ice sheets were retreating over Scandinavia. 10,000 years ago the forefathers of today´s Norwegians hunted reindeer and other prey on their long trek north. The land they came to had for centuries borne the weight of the icecap, so the coastline was about 200 metres higher than it is today. The oldest proofs of human activity were discovered on a hill in the southeast region of Østfold, not far from the southern frontier with Sweden. At that time the hill was probably an offshore island, just south of the glacier tip. There is no general agreement on where the ancestors of today´s Norwegians came from, or on the routes they took on their journey north, but one of these routes certainly passed through Ostfold. Artefacts found at settlements there are of the same type that have been discovered in southern Sweden and in Denmark. A further possible route may have led from the so-called North Sea continent to southwest Norway. These first Norwegians were hunters who, wherever nature permitted it, settled in small groups. They left proof of their existence in flint tools, clay vessels, and not least, rock carvings. In every part of Norway remain specimens of their art, hewn or ground into the rock. The carvings depict their prey: reindeer, moose, deer, bears and fish. People, or boats appear only seldom.

NORWAY: Exploring New Horizons... Teacher Page DEAR EDUCATOR, Do your standards of learning (SOLs) suggest that students compare other nations with the USA? Have you considered Norway? Here's what Tom Christensen and B. Guy Peters report in Structure, Culture, and Governance: A Comparison of Norway and the United States (Rowman and Littlefield, 1999). Both nations, they observe, are deeply committed to democracy. But Norwegians have an "historically rooted willingness to accept a strong ... redistributive role for the public sector," while Americans show "less willingness" to allow government "a significant role in steering society." Students using this unit can explore that comparison and other aspects of life in Norway — literally, one of the world's most "giving" nations. CURRICULUM STANDARDS This unit will serve courses in history, world regions, government, and contemporary issues (9-12). Among prototypical SOLs supported by the unit are these three, cited from: Expectations of Excellence: Curriculum Standards for Social Studies (EE);
