A brief history of Norway

Norway’s beginnings

People first began settling in Norway very early – in 9000 BC, in fact. This was after the end of the first ice age, so it was now a habitable location.

Settlers survived by hunting and fishing animals such as seal, deer, elk and whales. Farming didn’t become prominent until 500 BC, which was known as the bronze age. This time period got its name from the various weapons and jewelry created.

The Viking era

The notorious and famous Vikings are a big part of Norway’s history. The Viking Age was from 800 AD to 1050 AD, and during this time, the Vikings raided various places including Ireland, France, England and Scotland, traveling by extremely fast ocean-going ships they created.

The Vikings are known largely for being ruthless fighters, but this wasn’t their only claim to fame. Their other talents included craftsmanship, trading and administrating. They actually made some beautiful jewelry that is still around to this day. All of these skills combined is what made them such great warriors.

The Vikings ended up founding a few different cities, including Normandy and Dublin. However, the Viking Age ended when Harald Hardrada unsuccessfully attempted to conquer England in 1066.

If you’re interested in learning more about the Vikings and their culture, it’s recommended that you pay a visit to the Lofotr Viking Museum. This attraction is known as the largest Viking longhouse ever found. Many people love this museum because it was recreated very accurately, and includes a mead hall and authentic decorations. When you visit this attraction, you can enjoy a feast made up of wild boar, fish, locally raised lamb and mead – a beverage made from honey and herbs.

Stave churches

If you travel through Norway, you may have a chance to see some of the country’s stave churches, which are an integral piece of Norway’s architectural heritage. These churches were built during the Middle Ages and are made of wood, rather than the traditional stone churches that were being built throughout other parts of Europe. The woodwork was, and still is, extremely intricate and richly decorated with animal motifs such as doves, dragons, centaurs and elk.

The oldest known stave church in Norway is the Urnes Stave Church, near Sognefjord. It was built back in 1150 and was said to be the church of a powerful high-born family. This certainly isn’t the only stave church that you can admire on your historical journey through Norway. Other cities including Oye, Hore, Lomen, Urnes and Rodal are home to these architectural wonders.

Norway’s independence

Norway didn’t achieve full independence until 1905 when Haakon VII was crowned the King of Norway. Before then, the country was a dependency under Denmark until 1814, then it entered into a new union with Sweden. Not shortly after Norway’s official independence, women were given the right to vote in local elections in 1907, then in national elections in 1913.

The Norwegian Economy

The Norwegian economy is dependent largely on the fortunes of its important petroleum industry. Thus, it experienced a decline in the late 1980s as oil prices fell, but by the late 1990s it had rebounded strongly, benefiting from increased production and higher prices. In an effort to reduce economic downturns caused by drops in oil prices, the government in 1990 established the Government Petroleum Fund (renamed the Government Pension Fund Global in 2006), into which budget surpluses were deposited for investment overseas. Norway reversed its negative balance of payments, and the growth of its gross national product (GNP)—which had slowed during the 1980s—accelerated. By the late 1990s Norway’s per capita GNP was the highest in Scandinavia and among the highest in the world. The Norwegian economy remained robust into the early 21st century, and Norway fared much better than many other industrialized countries during the international financial and economic crisis that began in 2008. Nevertheless, foreign demand for non-petroleum-related Norwegian products weakened during that period, and, though not a participant in the single European currency, Norway was not immune to the pressures of the euro-zone debt crisis.

About one-fourth of Norway’s commodity imports are food and consumer goods (including motor vehicles); the rest consists of raw materials, fuels, and capital goods. The rate of reinvestment has been high in Norway for a number of years. This is reflected in the relatively steady employment in the building and construction industry. Rapid growth, however, has been registered in commercial and service occupations, as is the case in most countries with a high standard of living.

Fewer than 1 percent of the private businesses and industrial companies in Norway have more than 100 employees. Nonetheless, they account for more than two-fifths of the private industrial labour force. The smaller companies are usually family-owned, whereas most of the larger ones are joint-stock companies. Only a few larger concerns are state-owned, most notably Statoil, the state-owned petroleum industry, as well as the railways and the postal service. The state also has large ownership stakes in hydropower stations and electricity plants.
