Icelandic Greenland wars from 1685-1761

The war of 1685, The first war between Greenland and Iceland, was so named by the Greenlanders because of the devastating raids on the settlements and on the Inuit by the Icelandic army.

Over a period of eight years, Iceland's soldiers besieged Narsaq (then the capital of Greenland), Qaanaaq, Traldane, Upernavik, Nuuk, Illulissat, Baffin Bay, and within Upernavik, Danmark, and possibly also across mainland Greenland.

Numerous Greenlanders lost their lives, and many were deported to Denmark.

The successful takeover of the Lobe actually took place during the second war of 1678–1683.

After the Danish defeat in the Second Narsak War (1679), following a raid on southern Greenland on 29 October 1679, King Christian IV of Denmark made a peace treaty in which he agreed to surrender the vast majority of Greenland in exchange for a tax and annual provisions.

The treaty proved to be extremely unpopular amongst Greenlanders, who were mostly goat farmers at the time, and a war between Denmark and the king's German-Catholic Privy Council broke out on 1 July 1680.

When the Privy Council won a decisive victory over the Danes in the Battle of Strandhøl and almost managed to capture Christian IV, the King negotiated a new peace treaty.

He reneged on his promises, and thus it was that Greenland remained Danish.

During the Icelandic war of 1712, The Greenlanders teamed with the Scottish army against Iceland, where they conquered and sacked the western-most settlement on 14 July 1712, in the battle of Langnes.

Icelandic troops returned and laid siege to the town for two weeks, before evacuating the next month.

IIn 1723 General Einar A. Óðinsson of Iceland attacked a Russian settlement in Greenland, signifying the start of the Óðinsson war. In 1724 his troops killed or captured a number of Russians. The Russians retaliated by attacking the village of Kongsberg, and in 1725 a larger Russian force under the command of Prince Mikhail I. Blagoveshchensk attacked Iceland and occupied the capital at Akureyri.

In accordance with an agreement between Copenhagen and St Petersburg, in 1728 Russia withdrew from Greenland.The Russian army was recalled and a peace was signed. In the treaty, Iceland was to pay an annual subsidy of 300,000 riksdaler, but Iceland did not have the means to pay, and the agreement was voided in 1732.

After the death of the last Russian governor, Prince Blagovestchinsky, in 1742, the Russian-controlled part of Greenland was administered by a governor appointed by the Russian government.

In 1741, the first Russian ambassador to Iceland arrived in Akureyri. The ambassador, Alexander Griboyedov, stayed for three months and was the first Russian ambassador to Iceland. From 1744 to 1749, the Russian Governor of Greenland, Ivan Leontiev, resided in Akureyri. In 1750, the Russians withdrew from Greenland, and the Russian-controlled part was administered by the governor of Iceland.

In 1755, the Russian-controlled part of Greenland was annexed to Russia by the Treaty of Küçü k Kaynarca.

In 1761, a Russian merchant ship was wrecked in the vicinity of Iceland, and the crew were taken into custody by the Icelandic authorities. The sailors were given to the Russian authorities for the voyage to Russia. The present Russian ambassador to Iceland is Ksenia Semenova. She is the third Russian ambassador in a row.
