The Norwegian resistance (Norwegian: Motstandsbevegelsen) to the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany began after Operation Weserübung in 1940 and ended in 1945. It took several forms:
Asserting the legitimacy of the exiled government, and by implication the lack of legitimacy of Vidkun Quisling's pro-Nazi regime and Josef Terboven's military administration
The initial defence in Southern Norway, which was largely disorganised, but succeeded in allowing the government to escape capture
The more organised military defence and counter-attacks in parts of Western and Northern Norway, aimed at securing strategic positions and the evacuation of the government
Armed resistance, in the form of sabotage, commando raids, assassinations and other special operations during the occupation
Civil disobedience and unarmed resistance
