British occupation of the Faroe Islands during the Second World War, began shortly after the German Wehrmacht launched Operation Weserübung, the invasion of metropolitan Denmark and Norway. By 13 April 1940, the United Kingdom had occupied the strategically important Faroe Islands to forestall a German occupation of the archipelago. The Faroe Islands became part of the area of the British Northern Garrisons, a chain of islands across the Atlantic Ocean, from Orkney to Iceland. British troops left shortly after the war ended in 1945.
