Norway

Norway is a Scandinavian country. It was neutral in the Great War and attempted to remain neutral when a second round of warfare broke out in Europe in 1941. However, in the first year of the war, Britain violated its neutrality by launching an invasion.

The British had hoped Norway would be defeated easily and would provide the British with an avenue by which to outflank Germany's forces in the Low Countries. However, with German support, the Norwegians were able to defeat the British army and repel its invasion. Norway then became a minor ally of the Central Powers.

Its geographic location offers the High Seas Fleet ports on the open ocean. It also gives the Germans the use of the Hydro Norsk heavy water Plant. Heavy water is important in the mking of atomic bombs.
