Which country is Iceland?

Iceland is a country rather than a city. The Republic of Iceland, meaning "the country of ice", was founded in June 1944. With a land area of/kloc-0.03 million square kilometers and a population of about 320,000, it is the country with the lowest population density in Europe. Because it is an island country, it is translated into Iceland.

In 874, Viking Inge Arnason led a group of people to settle in Iceland.

Before Scandinavians and Celts immigrated to Iceland in the 9th-/Kloc-0th century, Iceland was the last uninhabited big island except New Zealand.

In 930, the world's earliest parliament was established (Icelandic: Al? Ingi) and established a free state in Iceland, although this parliament did not run for a long time. Some written evidence shows that Irish monks lived in Iceland before the arrival of northerners, but there is no archaeological evidence to prove this inference. Iceland was independent for 300 years and was later ruled by Norway and Denmark.

18 14 Before Denmark and the United Kingdom of Norway were divided according to the Kiel Treaty, Iceland was a colony of the Norwegian king and later became a dependency of Denmark. 1874, the Danish government granted Iceland limited autonomy. 19 18, Denmark and Iceland signed a joint bill, and Denmark recognized the Kingdom of Iceland as a sovereign state attached to the Kingdom of Denmark. Since then, Iceland has further gained independence and sovereignty similar to that of a protectorate in internal affairs, while Denmark still retains power in foreign affairs and national defense.
