This subject is concerned with Norwegian and international history from the end of the Napoleonic Wars to the beginning of the 21st century. Central themes during the nineteenth century include the growth of the modern nation states. Industrialization spreads itself throughout and beyond Europe and the Western great powers have subdued large parts of the world by the end of the nineteenth century by means of modern imperialism. Events and consequences of the two World Wars during the twentieth century and the progress and development of the Cold War are central to the period that followed. The globalization of economics, politics and culture is also a theme that will be discussed, and Norway''s place in these reforms will be particularly emphasized.
