Allied Military Occupies Iceland

The US swiftly occupied Iceland at the invitation of its government, enhancing its defense strategy by securing a strategic location in the North Atlantic. This move, which also involved replacing British troops with American forces, was aimed at protecting vital shipping lanes and ensuring regional security. Iceland's sovereignty remains intact, and the occupation is temporary. The decision was well-received in Washington, with assurances that it would not provoke conflict with Germany unless Germany had intentions on Iceland.
