History Matters

Neutral Norway and the First World War


Listen Later

This episode discusses Norway from its transfer to Sweden from Denmark during the Napoleonic War right the way up to the end of the First World War.

Special thanks among others to: Olav Riste and his classic The Neutral Ally: Norway’s Relations with Belligerent Powers in the First World War as well as his more recent Norway's Foreign Relations : A History. Patrick Salmon's previously mentioned works on comparative Scandinavian history are, as ever, highly recommended.
