With its magnificent fjords, towering mountains, and awesome glaciers, Norway's scenic beauty is rarely equaled.The sturdy people in that northern Scandinavian country have combined democracy, freedom, civil rights, stability and order, and social welfare as successfully as any people on earth. And in foreign affairs Norway has maintained an impressively peaceful history.Norway and the United States, 1905-1955: Two Democracies in Peace and War traces the first half-century in diplomatic relations between the United States and Norway. It examines the processes by which two democracies with well-es-tablished traditions of neutrality and noninvolvement in European wars turned away from those traditional policies toward multilateral collective security roles in world affairs. It covers American relations with Norway from 1905 (when Norway peacefully separated from Sweden) through World Wars I and II and the early Cold War to 1955.The two World Wars and the Cold War serve as the three pillars for the story. In World War I both were neutrals until the United States entered the war in 1917; and Norway continued as a neutral. Both were brought into World War II by surprise Axis attacks - the German invasion of Norway in 1940, and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The Yalta and UN approaches foundered for both countries after World War II, and both played cooperative roles in NATO in the Cold War era. The book is a case study of how two democracies with shared values and interests-one a huge superpower and the other a small state on the northern fringes of Europe - successfully guarded their interests and security without compromising democracy and freedom.The book is based on four years of research in all available Department of State records in the National Archives, as well as in the finest scholarly accounts by Norwegian historians based on research in Norwegian documents. Of Norwegian descent, Dr. Cole has traveled widely in Norway and has consulted scholars and officials there.
