Norway's roots claw into icy tundras where Stone Age hunters etched petroglyphs on fjord walls, chasing seals till Bronze Age boats hauled tin for tools.

Norway's roots claw into icy tundras where Stone Age hunters etched petroglyphs on fjord walls, chasing seals till Bronze Age boats hauled tin for tools. Vikings erupted around 793, their knarrs knifing rivers from Dublin to the Dnieper, settling Orkney outposts while skalds sang of Odin hangs and Thor's hammer cracks. The Christian cross crept in with Olaf's sword around 1000, knitting jarls into kings under Harald Fairhair's tangled mane, but the Hanseatic grip on Bergen's cod trade squeezed the life from local lords, leaving wharves stacked with stockfish and secrets.Plague hit like a hammer in 1349, chewing two-thirds of the folk and handing the throne to Danish unions that lasted till Napoleon's wars shuffled the deck. Kalmar's three-crown tangle frayed, Sweden muscling in post-1814 till 1905's velvet divorce crowned Haakon VII amid Oslo cheers. The 19th century stirred with Ibsen's ink and Grieg's tunes, peasants trading turf roofs for townhouses while Sami herders roamed Lapland's lichen under ignored eyes.Twentieth-century thunder: Hitler's '40 invasion met ski-troop snipers and saboteurs sinking heavy water ships, Quisling's name turning traitor eternal. Postwar, Marshall bucks built hydro dams, then Ekofisk's '69 gush flooded coffers with petrodollars, birthing a sovereign fund that cushioned the world. Norway's no saga snooze-it's a stave church stitch of saunas and sovereignty, proving a cold corner can heat the globe with its quiet grit.
