History
Norwegians,like the Danes and Swedes,are of Teutonic origin.The Norsemen,also known as Vikings,ravaged the coasts of northwest Europe from the 8th to the 11th century and were ruled by local chieftains.Olaf II Haraldsson became the first effective king of all Norway in 1015 and began converting the Norwegians to Christianity.After 1442,Norway was ruled by Danish kings until 1814,when it was united with Sweden—although retaining a degree of independence and receiving a new constitution—in an uneasy partnership.In 1905,the Norwegian parliament arranged a peaceful separation and invited a Danish prince to the Norwegian throne—King Haakon VII.A treaty with Sweden provided that all disputes be settled by arbitration and that no fortifications be erected on the common frontier.
The World Wars and 20th Century Norwegian Politics
When World War I broke out,Norway joined with Sweden and Denmark in a decision to remain neutral and to cooperate in the joint interest of the three countries.In World War II,Norway was invaded by the Germans on April 9,1940.It resisted for two months before the Nazis took complete control.King Haakon and his government fled to London,where they established a government-in-exile.Maj.Vidkun Quisling,who served as Norway's prime minister during the war,was the most notorious of the Nazi collaborators.The word for traitor,quisling,bears his name.He was executed by the Norwegians on Oct.24,1945.Despite severe losses in the war,Norway recovered quickly as its economy expanded.It joined NATO in 1949.
In the late 20th century,the Labor Party and the Conservative Party seesawed for control,each sometimes having to lead minority governments.An important debate was over Norway's membership in the European Union.In an advisory referendum held in Nov.1994,voters rejected seeking membership for their nation in the EU.The country became the second-largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia in 1995.Norway continued to experience rapid economic growth into the new millennium.
Politics In the 21st Century
In March 2000,Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik resigned after parliament voted to build the country's first gas-fired power stations.Bondevik had objected to the project,asserting that the plants would emit too much carbon dioxide.Labor Party leader Jens Stoltenberg succeeded Bondevik.Stoltenberg and the Labor Party were defeated in Sept.2001 elections,and no party emerged with a clear majority.After a month of talks,the Conservatives,the Christian People's Party,and the Liberals formed a coalition with Bondevik as prime minister.The governing coalition was backed by the far-right Progress Party.But in Sept.2005 elections,the center-left Red-Green coalition gained a majority of seats,and Jens Stoltenberg of the Labor Party once again became prime minister.
In April 2008,government officials agreed to amend the 1814 Constitution to lessen the ties between church and state.The monarch must still be Lutheran,but citizens are no longer required to raise their children as Lutherans.In the future,the church will appoint bishops instead of the monarch,and equal financial backing for other faiths and atheist communities must be provided by the state.
In June 2008,Parliament voted 84-41 to pass a new marriage act,granting homosexual couples the same marriage and adoption rights as heterosexual couples.
