    The traditional industry of Norway is _____________.

    1. Agriculture

    2. Forestry

    3. Iron and Steel

    4. None of these
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    B Correct answer
    Explanation
    Norway has vast forests, and timber is the most important raw material for its forestry-based industries. Around half of the timber felled is used by the timber industry, which manufactures wood products for housebuilding, glued-wood structures, doors, window-frames and furniture. Timber that is less suitable for this is sold to the pulp and paper industry for making pulp.

    Although the timber industry is spread over large parts of the country, the highest concentrations of it are in eastern and mid Norway. Over the past few years, this sector has undergone restructuring through mergers and acquisitions. Since taking over Norske Skog’s timber operations, Moelven has become one of the largest timber companies in Europe.

    The pulp and paper industry consumes a lot of energy, so the companies in this sector have traditionally been located along the major rivers in eastern and mid Norway. This sector is extremely export-oriented and exposed to international competition. Norske Skog has bought factories in Central Europe and Asia over the past few years. The Norwegian pulp and paper industry has long industrial experience and high levels of expertise in the further processing of forestry resources. Paper based on fresh fibre from Nordic conifers is often of a better quality than that based on new, quick-growing plantation trees or paper that has a high recycled-paper content. The new paper-recycling facility at Norske Skog’s mill at Skogn ensures a market for Norwegian recycled paper. Developments in the price of electricity will be of great significance to the Norwegian pulp and paper industry’s competitive ability in the future.

    4. Ship building
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    B Correct answer
    Explanation

    Steel and Engineering,

    In 1923 German government was unable to pay the reparations required under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The French and Belgian governments responded by sending in troops to the Ruhr, the main centre of Germany's coal, iron and steel production.

    The German people were outraged and Fritz Thyssen and other industrialists who had investments in the Ruhr, organized a passive resistance campaign. The French responded by bringing in their own workers to operate the mines and began arresting leaders of the resistance movement.

    The occupation of the Ruhr led to a collapse of the German economy. There was massive inflation and large increase in unemployment. Germany was now unable to pay any reparations.

    Charles G. Dawes, an American banker, was asked by the Allied Reparations Committee to investigate the problem. His report, published in April, 1924, proposed a plan for instituting annual payments of reparations on a fixed scale. He also recommended the reorganization of the German State Bank and increased foreign loans.

    Gustav Stresemann, the German chancellor called off the passive resistance and began paying reparations again. The French and Belgian troops withdrew from the Ruhr in 1925.
