even Iceland has not escaped being taken away by an occupying force.
To me, the bigger difference is that Iceland doesn't have much to offer in terms of "exportable resource" and/or "strategic location". Compare to the "Middle East".
reinstated Hawaii Kingdom was a post contact construct, lead by a self-appointed king who lays claim to all territory that was conquered post contact, ignoring those other 2 peoples lived their prior
Sounds just like the conquest of what is now Mexico, the arrival of Columbus, etc. Didn't turn out well for those "peoples who lived there prior".
