Øst-Trøndelag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Øst-Trøndelag (Eastern Trøndelag) is an unofficial and polemic name for the Swedish regions of Jämtland and Härjedalen which until 1645 belonged to Norway. As the name suggests, the region lies to the east of the Norwegian region of Trøndelag.

In the 1940s, during the German occupation of Norway, Norwegian politicians called for the annexation of Øst-Trøndelag to provide the collaborationist regime new opportunities for expansion.

In 2004, Norwegian students erected road signs on the border indicating that travelers were entering the Norwegian county of Øst-Trøndelag.[1]
