== History ==
=== Asgard-Jotunheim War ===
==== Battle of Tønsberg ====
: "From around the cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone."
: ―Odin to Thor[src]
In 965 A.D., the Frost Giants of Jotunheim led by Laufey, arrived to Tønsberg, planning to conquer Midgard, freezing everything in their path using the Casket of Ancient Winters to plunge the world in a new glacial period. However, the army of Einherjar led by Odin, defended Tønsberg and engaged in a war against the Frost Giants, forcing them to abandon Earth and retreat to their own world. Around this time, the Cosmic Cube was lost on Earth and made its way to Tønsberg, where it was kept safe for centuries by a set of Odin worshipers.
=== World War II ===
: "Your HYDRA division has failed to deliver so much as a rifle in over a year. And we had learned through local intelligence you had mounted a full-scale incursion into Norway."
: ―Roeder to Johann Schmidt[src]
During World War II, Norway was occupied by Third Reich. In 1942, HYDRA forces led by Johann Schmidt, organized an incursion in Norway searching for the Cosmic Cube. Following its trail until reaching a church full of Viking warriors entombed within its walls, Schmidt interrogated the Church Keeper, who tried to make Schmidt cease his search, claiming the Cube was a simple myth. Schmidt, convinced of its existence as the most valuable object in Odin's Vault, located a fake replica inside one of the tombs, and threatened the Church Keeper to kill all the inhabitants of the village if he did not help him locate the real Cosmic Cube. Schmidt then focused his attention in a sculptured mural of Yggdrasil world tree, finding a hidden box behind a Nidhogg depiction in the mural with the actual Cosmic Cube inside. The Church Keeper warned Schmidt that he would not control the power of the Cube, but Schmidt simply killed him and ordered his army to destroy the village. By April 1945, the Nazi forces were suffering defeats on almost all battlefields of Europe. Around the time of Adolf Hitler's death, the commanders of German garrisons in Norway were negotiating the surrender to the Allies.
