This island in the North Atlantic Ocean was colonized in 874 mostly by the Norwegian Vikings. Iceland was used as a base for voyages of discovery to Greenland and North America. In 1262 it came under the rule of the Norwegian kings. In 1380 Iceland fell to Denmark at the same time as Norway. On December 1, 1918 it became a sovereign state closely united with Denmark under the King. In 1944, following a referendum, the republic was proclaimed.
