How did Norway come to be in it's current shape?

by BenderB-Rodriguez

pretty straight forward question, how did Norway come to be in it's current shape? specifically i'm curious as to how Norway maintained control of the northern tip that wraps around Sweden and Finland. I find it odd that neither country tried to conquer those areas AND that the population of those areas don't ethnically identify with them as well.
