 First World War.com - Encyclopedia - The Kiel Canal
Primarily built as a means of facilitating movement of the German naval fleet from its Baltic bases to the open sea without the necessity to pass through international waters, the canal was also of great commercial significance since it removed the need to attempt to pass round the somewhat dangerous Jutland peninsula.
In the immediate pre-war years the canal's depth was extended from its original 9 metre depth (30 feet) and 65 metre width (213 feet) to 11 metres depth (36 feet) and 100 metres width (328 feet) in order to enable the latest German warships to use the canal.
At the end of the First World War the Treaty of Versailles decreed that the waterway was of sufficient importance that it would henceforth be regarded as an international waterway, open to all, although it was still administered by Germany.

From the spring of 1813 the young heir-presumptive to the Danish- Norwegian crown, Prince Christian Fredrik, resided in Norway as "Stattholder".
From these vague and confused dreams, there developed in Norway, during the winter and spring of 1814, a powerful and heady desire for independence: Norway was once again to join the ranks of independent states as a free, self-governing realm, as she had been many centuries earlier.
