People first settled in Norway around 10 000 years ago. They first survived by hunting and fishing, but gradually began to farm the land and to keep livestock. The first farms were created around 500 BC. This period is known as the Bronze Age since bronze was the metal used to create weapons, jewelry, and tools.
Within the 16th century up until 1841, the flag of Denmark has been used by Norway as its national flag. Such use represents the union of both countries. However, in 1814, Norway tried to obtain independence by adopting the Danish flag and incorporating the Norwegian lion at the upper square of the flag.
The Norwegian flag was first adopted on July 17, 1821, and is based on the Danish flag, with a blue cross placed within the white cross of the Danish flag. Norway was ruled by Denmark from the mid-15th century until 1814 when it joined a union with Sweden until 1905.
The Norwegian flag had an emblem representing the Norway-Sweden union from 1844 until 1898 when the government re-introduced the Norwegian flag, minus the Union symbol. A 1905 Norwegian referendum voted overwhelmingly to end the country's union with Sweden. The flag of Norway has a red background with a blue 'Scandinavian cross' on it. The Scandinavian cross is outlined by white stripes. The vertical stripe of the cross isn't centered; instead, it's based on the left side of the flag.
The flag of Norway features the Scandinavian Cross, or Nordic Cross, like the other Nordic nations such as Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland. The Nordic Cross represents these nations' shared history, first used by Denmark as a national symbol, which became a tradition of the countries of Scandinavia. The cross is a symbol of Christianity.
Although the flag was already in use since 1821, it was officially hoisted in 1899. Until today, this Norwegian flag has been used as the national flag in different functions within the country and it continues to inspire the people within Norway.
