The Greenlandic War, sometimes referred to as the Americo-Iceland War or the Fishing War, was a war between the Kingdom of Iceland and the United States of America between 1892 and 1893. America declared war in the summer of 1892, invading the Icelandic territory of Greenland. Despite early losses, the greatly outnumbered Icelandic army managed to save the capital of Nuuk. The war ended with the Treaty of Thule, which was negotiated by the French Empire.
