There have been several events throughout the decades that have been turning points in history for Norway. Some of the most important ones are listed on the timeline above. These events include the bubonic plagues in 1350 which lead to half of Norway's population to die off. This was a hard time in Norway and it took a while for them to get back on their feet and recover from this terrible disease. Then later in 1536 Denmark takes control of Norway and becomes a danish province. After a few centuries together Denmark ends up giving Norway over to its neighboring country Sweden which had been its own independent country since around the time Denmark took control of Norway. Due to this new change in control, the Norwegians decide to make their own constitution and even appoint their own king despite the fact that Sweden already has its own king. Because of this dispute over kings Norway and Sweden go into a 14 day war which Sweden ends up winning and the Norwegians end up accepting Sweden's king but decides to keep their own constitution. Later in 1905 Norway ends up breaking off from Sweden and they become their own independent nation where they appoint Prince Carl of Denmark to become their king. Everything then goes pretty smoothly for Norway until World War II. Norway declares themselves as a neutral territory which then results in Germany's forces to invade Norway and send the royal family into hiding. Germany stays in control of Norway until the end of World War II in 1945. Then in 1960 Norway comes across gas and oil along their coast in the water, this leads to a huge boost in Norway's economics and is still their leading revenue. In 1972 and later in 1994 Norwegians decide to vote against joining the EU.
