In the year of 1874, Iceland's separate constitution was revived again. In the year of 1918, Denmark which still held sovereignty over the island recognized Iceland as a separate state nominally under the Danish king. The last link was dissolved on June 17, 1944, while Denmark was still under the Nazi Occupation, and Iceland proclaimed itself a completely independent Republic after a popular referendum.
