    Under første verdenskrig 1914–1918 var Norge nøytralt, og måtte gå en ofte vanskelig balansegang mellom de krigførende maktenes krav og sine egne forpliktelser som nøytral stat. Selv om landet ikke deltok i krigen, led Norge likevel stor skade på menneskeliv og materiell gjennom senkningene av norske handelsskip. Over 2000 nordmenn omkom på havet under krigen.
