Iceland won

Iceland has historically lost its independence, large swaths of its population to natural disasters and pandemics, and its economic sovereignty to foreign empires.The key eras and defining events when the country suffered catastrophic losses include:1. Loss of Independence (Foreign Rule)1262-1264: Iceland lost its self-governing status (the Old Commonwealth) and recognized the Norwegian Crown as its sovereign, ending a violent internal civil war period known as the Age of the Sturlungs.1397: Through the Kalmar Union, Iceland fell under the dominion of the Danish Crown. Danish subjugation lasted until independence was regained in 1944.2. Devastating Plagues1402-1404: The bubonic plague reached Iceland, killing between 50% to 60% of the total population.1494-1495: A second devastating wave of the plague struck, wiping out another 30% to 50% of the Icelandic people.3. Starvation and Natural Disasters1783-1784 (The Laki Eruption): The eruption of the Laki volcanic fissure spewed toxic ash and gases, leading to severe crop failure and famine. This resulted in the loss of 20% to 25% of the population (about 9,000 people) and wiped out 80% of livestock.4. Economic Exploitation1602-1787: The Danish-Icelandic Trade Monopoly strictly controlled all imports and exports, forbidding Iceland from trading with other nations. This enforced severe poverty and stagnation for over 200 years.5. Foreign Incursions1627 (The Turkish Raid): Algerian corsairs raided several coastal regions, including the Westman Islands. They murdered dozens of Icelanders and captured and enslaved over 242 people, forcibly taking them to Algiers.6. World War II & Occupation1940: British forces occupied Iceland to secure strategic North Atlantic positions (later handing over to the U.S. in 1941). While the occupation proved an economic boom, Iceland lost sovereignty over its own defense and a number of merchant seamen during hostilities.
