Nygaardsvold's Cabinet

[2] Following the brief tenure of the Hornsrud cabinet in the winter of 1928, the Labour Party changed its political stance from revolutionary communism to social democracy.

The main reason for the change was the realization that government power could be used for reforms that could lessen the impact of the economic crisis.

Instead they made a compromise with the Farmer Party, allowing Nygaardsvold to enter the Council of State.

The Government left Norway on 7 June 1940 after the German conquest and established itself in London the same day, along with King Haakon VII and Crown Prince Olav.

[2] Back in Norway, over the course of the war, four de facto governments were led by Vidkun Quisling and Josef Terboven.
