A national consciousness had arisen in Iceland…

1852 CE to 1863 CE

A national consciousness had arisen in Iceland in the first half of the nineteenth century, inspired by romantic and nationalist ideas from mainland Europe.

An Icelandic independence movement takes shape in the 1850s under the leadership of Jón Sigurðsson, based on the burgeoning Icelandic nationalism inspired by the Fjölnismenn and other Danish-educated Icelandic intellectuals.

The Icelandic trade is opened in 1854 to merchants other than Danes.
