Before 1970, Norway was a backward and poor "European country" in other European countries. At that time, the economic pillars were agriculture, forestry, and fishery. Most of the food was imported. For a long time, most European countries looked down on Norway. The Norwegian government knew that if it wants to change its destiny, it can only rely on itself. On December 23, 1969, Norway discovered a large oil field. Norway quickly established a corresponding oil company. The whole country worked together to improve the oil industry. After decades of hard work, Oil has brought great wealth to the country and now Norway have enough funds to invest in national production.
