DESCRIPTION:\nIn 1856 the British consul general in Christiania reported t
 o the Foreign Office: ”I am not far from the truth when I say that a Nor
 wegian […] feels himself more at home in England than in [the union part
 ner\, 1814-1905] Sweden.” Britain had the role of Norway’s protector\,
  and represented the democratic and civilized norm-makers in international
  politics. On the other hand\, during World War I\, a journalist noted tha
 t the Norwegian relationship to Britain was “an arithmetic problem”: I
 t would take 36 hours to stop supplies to Norway. The western bias thus wa
 s inescapable and unavoidable.
