 CNN.com - Norway government resigns - October 17, 2001
Its seats in parliament fell to 43 from the 65 it had gained in the previous national elections in 1997 as many of the country's three million voters warmed to their promises of tax cuts, feeling the Norwegian welfare state had become too big and inefficient, despite the country's vast oil wealth.

By the late eighteenth century, with the loss of the American colonies and the expansion of the empire in India through a series of military campaigns sustained over several decades, the fantasy of the peaceful trading empire extending British freedom abroad became ever harder to sustain.
When nineteenth-century British observers of India claimed that Indian society was marked by economic stagnation, and cultural traditionalism, they described phenomena that were in some measure true thanks to their own exploitative rule.
