Eretide
By the Book of Icelanders, Iceland is believed to have been first dwelt upon in 874 by the Norseman Ingólfur Arnarson in the stow he named "Reykjavik" (Bight of Smoke) forof rising earthwarming. Ingólfur was followed by more Norse lords and their kin, as well as many Irish and Scottish thralls.
In 930 a lawmooting was made, called the "Alþingi" ("Allthing") one of the earliest lawmoots in the world. The Alþingi dighted laws and dooms upon the Icelandish folk.
Up until the H10th, Icelanders held to their heathen ways, but there was a growing thring from Europe for the folk to become Christly. A lord of the Alþingi, Þorgeirr Ljósvetningagoði, outspellt that Iceland should become Christly to halt unrest between the Christtrothen and the heathens, though he belet the heatheners to still follow their ways in dern. until this right was later withdrawn.
In the mid-H13th, there was a time of strife amongst the Icelanders called the Tide of the Sturlungs (Icelandish: Sturlungaöld). It's tale is told in the Sturulunga Saga. In this time, the mighty leaders (goðar) fought one another, amongst them the Sturlungs, the mightiest clan in Iceland. Among them was the great Icelandish learnt man Snorri Sturlason. At the end of the Sturlunga Tide, Iceland found itself under the feemanship of Norway. In 1380, Norway and Iceland came under the hold of Denmark.
In the H19th, driven by welkinish and earthlorish mishaps and a great hunger throughout the land, many Icelanders left for the New World. However, at home there was a drive for selfhood, led by Jón Sigurðsson. In 1874, Iceland begot selfhood from Denmark, which was nearly fulfilled in 1904.
Throughout World War Two, Iceland kept itself unsided, though it was later taken over by British fyrd. Later, many American bands were also sent to Iceland. In 1944, Iceland got full selfhood from Denmark, though Denmark was still under the hold of Nazi Theechland at that time. In 1949, Iceland became a deal of NATO, though it would not set upon another land. The Americ landmight had many bands in Iceland, with a Loftweir stead at Keflavik, before leaving In 2006.
Between 1950 and 1970, Iceland had flites with the Foroned Kingdom over fishing, which was later called the Cod Wars. Iceland's fishing bounds were swelled to 12 miles from the shore in 1958, and later to 50 miles in 1972, and 200 miles in 1975. The Banded Kingdom did not acknowledge Iceland's right to these waters, and kept fishing there. This brought the two lands into a small clash of fishing ships. Iceland then threatened to shut down the lofthub at Keflavik, and the Banded Kingdom later told its fishermen to stay out of Iceland's 200 mile fishing bounds.
Today, Iceland is one of the leading lands in the benchmark of living. By the Banded Lands, Iceland is one of best lands in which to live.
