History of Norway and Its Struggle for Independence 

The declaration of independence was not written when Norway and Sweden were in a union, it was written in just a few days during the transfer when Norway was legally independant. The swedes and british ignored the declaration and the transfer from Denmark to Sweden happend after a short war with only 2 battles where the norwegians and swedes won once each. The transwer also split Iceland and Greenland away from Norway even though Denmark had earlier signed that they were inseperable parts of Norway.

A Viking man can impress women by demonstrating how he takes his longship up a canal to deliver seeds which can be planted in fertile places.

My favorite saying that my grandparents taught me is "der himmel og hav møtast". More or less translates to "where heaven and sea meet" I have never known a country or people that love planet earth as much Norway. Mother Nature is arguably the single most important thing in existence to Norwegians.

There are so many mistakes and inaccuracies here, that I find it hard to take this seriously.

Great 👍and informative video!! Thanks for sharing! I am looking forward to checking for the content

YOU MADE AN ERROR AT 1:29 IN THIS VIDEO! YOU SAID "19TH CENTURY" AND WROTE "19TH CENTURY" IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF SCREEN. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 9TH CENTURY.

If you wanna learn Norwegian history or any country’s history for that matter, go to the actual source and not random videos on YT made by Americans with a robot voice. As a Norwegian this was somewhat cringe… not the worst, but still, could be better.

Yes not perfect this one. But OK.

"...during the 19th century." lol

The Vikings were the last barbarians.

Stoppp

Today I just knew that I have the vikings DNA. I never expected that....😅

Lots of inaccurate information, sadly

Norway has always been one of the poorest nations in Europe. Even today. It's cursed by geography and is officially the world's least self-sufficient nation. All economies are based on food, our most valuable currency. Do the biology. Without international charity, Norway struggles to exist. Being cursed by oil hasn't helped in any meaningful way. Norway remains one of the poorest nations in Europe.

“German” merchants. Highly unlikely based on the behaviors described here that they were actual Germans. Merchants for sure, but I’d bet $100 that they were actually “Hebrew”
