AHC: Norway joins the Axis

[Historyman 14]

How could you get Norway to join Germany in WW2 and the effects it would have on the war.

It would at the very least require a Conservative government. A *very* Conservative government.

Alternatively, you could have some sort of freak incident where Britain violates Norway's sovereignty to the point that the country is forced to join the Axis.

no freak accident needed, the british were planning to invade norway to block germanies access to swedish iron.

have the british go ahead with this plan and voilà you have a axis norway.

Not entirely sure that in itself would work. Remember how lenient the Norwegian government had been earlier in the war. Sweden, however, might not be quite so happy.
