Paper was not made in southern Europe until the year of 1100.Thouth Scandinavia now makes a great deal of the world‘s paper， it had not begun to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make paper from wood. After that， forest countries， such as Canada， Sweden， Norway， Finland and the United States， became important in paper making. Today in Finland， for example， no industry is bigger than the forest industry. And the paper industry is the most important part of it.
