History

Welcome to the history of Norway. The people came here between 8,000 BC and 9,000 BC. The people then lived in caves and tents. By the 9 century A.D. they had 30 independent states. By the 9th to 11th century Viking warriors got on longboats and went a to the Norwegian Sea. A little later Norway went under Swedish control. In 1523, Denmarks took control, but then they went back under Swedish control. In 1905, they became an independent country again. A little bit later World War 1 started and Norway became neutral. In World War 2, Germany invaded Norway in a surprise attack in April 1940. Germany occupied Norway until the war was over.
