DetailHistoire
Les plus anciens établissements humains connus en Norvège datent d'environ 8000 av. J.-C., avec des preuves de communautés de chasseurs-cueilleurs le long de la côte.
La bataille de Hafrsfjord, traditionnellement datée de 872, est considérée comme l'événement qui a conduit à l'unification de la Norvège sous le roi Harald Belle Chevelure.
La bataille de Stiklestad en 1030 a marqué la mort du roi Olaf II, qui est devenu plus tard Saint Olaf, une figure clé dans la christianisation de la Norvège.
L'Union de Kalmar a été formée en 1397, unissant les royaumes du Danemark, de la Norvège et de la Suède sous un seul monarque.
En 1814, la Norvège a déclaré son indépendance du Danemark et adopté sa propre constitution, bien qu'elle ait rapidement formé une union avec la Suède.
La Norvège a dissous pacifiquement son union avec la Suède en 1905, devenant un royaume indépendant avec le prince Carl du Danemark élu roi Haakon VII.
