Norway agreement
The Norway Agreement , English Norwegian Integrity treaty 1907-24 , also Christiania Convention of 1907 , Russian Христианийская конвенция 1907, is an international agreement that has the territorial integrity of Norway as its object.
In 1905, the United Kingdom was dissolved from Norway and Sweden in a referendum . This was a contractual partner of the agreement concluded on November 21, 1855, which sanctioned the territorial integrity of the Scandinavian peninsula.
Compared to 1855, the German Reich had developed into a contractual partner through the naval construction policy of Wilhelm II (German Reich) .
Edward Gray submitted a draft contract that provided for the continuation of the Åland Islands servitude . As a result, Alexander Petrowitsch Iswolski submitted a proposal for the Norway Treaty in June 1907, which made no statement about the Åland Islands servitude . Fridtjof Nansen negotiated the contract in London with Ferdinand von Wrangel and mentioned a fortification of Bomarsund by the Russian Empire . A request from Henry Campbell-Bannerman's government to Alexander Petrovich Iswolski whether he would recognize the Åland Islands servitude of 1856 went unanswered. The Swedish Foreign Minister Eric Trolle learned from Henri Allizé that Alexander Petrovich Iswolski would agree to Edward Gray's Norway Treaty after the Åland Islands servitude had been canceled . Trolle reported immediately to Rennell Rodd, 1st Baron Rennell , British Ministre plénipotentiaire in Stockholm .
In the agreement, the signatory major powers undertake to recognize Norway's borders, while Norway promises not to cede its territory to any power.
The agreement was signed on July 20th . / November 2nd, 1905 greg. signed for a period of ten years with automatic renewal. It was signed by representatives of the Russian Empire , the United Kingdom , France , Sweden and the German Empire .
