Editing Finnmark (section)

=== Brief summary ===
In 1576, the [[Frederick II of Denmark|King of Norway]] established ''Vardøhus [[Len (Norway)|len]]'' as a new administrative unit for most northern part of the kingdom. In 1660, it became ''Vardøhus [[Amt (country subdivision)|amt]]'', a subordinate to the large ''Trondhjems stiftamt'', based in [[Trondheim]]. In 1787, the [[Senja (island)|island of Senja]] and the [[Troms]] area were transferred from [[Nordland]]enes amt to Vardøhus amt. In 1866, the island of Senja and the Troms area were separated from Vardøhus to form the new [[Troms]]ø amt. In 1919, the name was again changed to Finnmark [[fylke]]. In 2002, the [[Sami language]] name, ''Finnmárku'', was added as a co-official name for the county.

[[Per Fugelli]] has said that World War II resulted in many persons acquiring psychiatric disorders (''psykiske senskadene'') which could be from experiencing "bombing, accidents involving [[Land mine|mines]], burning down of homes, forcible evacuation, illness and starvation during the war and liberation. But it was maybe in particular the treatment of Russian prisoners that left marks on the local population."<ref name="Scars">{{Cite web |last=NRK |date=13 September 2013 |title=Den glemte krigen |url=http://www.nrk.no/fordypning/den-glemte-krigen-1.11238509 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150616075558/http://www.nrk.no/fordypning/den-glemte-krigen-1.11238509 |archive-date=16 June 2015 |access-date=20 May 2016 |website=NRK}}</ref>
