The Faroe Islands were part of the Hereditary Kingdom of Norway between 1035 and 1814.
 The Faroe Islands subsequently declared independence on 18 September 1946; however, this declaration was annulled by Denmark on 20 September on the grounds that a majority of the Faroese voters had not supported independence and King Christian X of Denmark dissolved the Faroese Lgting on 24 September
 The islands form part of the Kingdom of Denmark, along with mainland Denmark and Greenland
