This meeting led to the rise of two of the movement's most prominent early figures: <a href="/wiki/J%C3%B3annes_Patursson" title="Jóannes Patursson">Jóannes Patursson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rasmus_Effers%C3%B8e" title="Rasmus Effersøe">Rasmus Effersøe</a>. </p><p>It was initially exclusively concerned with the status of the <a href="/wiki/Faroese_language" title="Faroese language">Faroese language</a>, but it soon gained a political dimension with the advent of the <a href="/wiki/Faroese_language_conflict" title="Faroese language conflict">Faroese language conflict</a> in the early 20th century. Both sides of the conflict were represented by the country's first-ever political parties: the <a href="/wiki/Union_Party_(Faroe_Islands)" title="Union Party (Faroe Islands)">Union Party</a> (<i><span title="Faroese-language text"><i lang="fo">Sambandsflokkurin</i></span></i>), founded in 1906, which supported Faroese literature but opposed its usage in education; and the <a href="/wiki/Self-Government_(Faroe_Islands)" class="mw-redirect" title="Self-Government (Faroe Islands)">Self-Government party</a> (<i><span title="Faroese-language text"><i lang="fo">Sjálvstýrisflokkurin</i></span></i>), which sought to introduce Faroese as the official language in all public spheres and additionally demanded increased political autonomy for the islands. The Faroese language gradually won out; laws and protocols of the Løgting were written in Faroese from 1927 onwards, schools switched to Faroese as the language of instruction in 1938, and Faroese was fully authorised as the language of the Church the following year. Finally in 1944, Faroese gained equal status with Danish in legal proceedings. </p><p>In the first year of the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>, on 12 April 1940, <a href="/wiki/British_occupation_of_the_Faroe_Islands" title="British occupation of the Faroe Islands">British troops occupied the Faroe Islands in Operation Valentine</a>. <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a> had invaded Denmark and commenced the invasion of Norway on 9 April 1940 under <a href="/wiki/Operation_Weser%C3%BCbung" title="Operation Weserübung">Operation Weserübung</a>.

The British refrained from governing Faroese internal affairs, and the islands became effectively self-governing during the war. After the war ended and the British army left, this period and <a href="/wiki/Iceland" title="Iceland">Iceland</a>'s declaration as a republic in 1944 served as a precedent and a model in the mind of many Faroe Islanders. </p><p>The Løgting held an independence referendum on <a href="/wiki/1946_Faroese_independence_referendum" title="1946 Faroese independence referendum">14 September 1946</a>, resulting in a very narrow majority for independence; 50.73% voted in favour and 49.27% against; the margin was only 161 votes.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Løgting subsequently declared independence on 18 September 1946; this declaration was annulled by <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Denmark</a> on 20 September, arguing that the number of invalid votes (481) being greater than the narrow margin in favour made the result invalid. As a result, King <a href="/wiki/Christian_X_of_Denmark" title="Christian X of Denmark">Christian X of Denmark</a> ordered that the Faroese Løgting be dissolved on 24 September, with new elections held that November.<sup id="cite_ref-Steining185_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Steining185-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/1946_Faroese_parliamentary_election" class="mw-redirect" title="1946 Faroese parliamentary election">Faroese parliamentary election of 1946</a> resulted in a majority for parties opposed to independence:<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> following protracted negotiations, Denmark granted <a href="/wiki/Home_rule" title="Home rule">home rule</a> to the Faroe Islands on 30 March 1948.

The islands are built up in layers of different lava flows (basalt) alternating with thin layers of volcanic ash (tuff). The soft ash and the hard basalt thus lie layer upon layer in narrow and thick strips. The soft tuff or ash zones erode away relatively quickly, and the hard lump of basalt above the eroded tuff falls away, forming the first terrace. </p><p>Volcanic activity has varied over millions of years, with periods of quiescence and various periods of quiet eruptive fissures and explosive volcanism. In a few places, mainly on Suðuroy, thin layers of coal are present, which are the remains of swamp forests from the time between volcanic eruptions. The plateau has therefore been divided into different basalt series according to the course of volcanism and the age sequence of the layers. </p><p>There are major differences in the shapes of the islands' terraces. The lowest and oldest series are thick lava deposits that can be seen on the southern part of Suðuroy, Mykines and Tindhólmur and the western side of Vágar. The basalts of the lower basalt series are often pillared, which is shown by elongated, angular and regular pillars in the mountain side. Very regular vertical columns are found on northern Mykines, where they can be up to 30 metres (100 ft) high. </p><p>The middle basalt series consists of thin lava flows with a highly porous interlayer. This series has very little resistance to crumbling and weathering. As these erosion processes are more severe at higher altitudes than lower down, the lowlands are filled with weathering material from the heights, often resulting in a characteristic curved landscape shape. This can be clearly seen on Vágar, the northernmost part of Streymoy and the north-western part of Eysturoy. </p><p>Glacial activity has reduced plateau surfaces, especially on the northern islands, where the surfaces have been reduced to a series of narrower or wider zig-zag rows along the length of the islands: especially on the islands of Kunoy, Kalsoy and Borðoy, where an eastward and a westward ice mass have eroded the intervening mountain range into a narrow ridge. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Government_and_politics">Government and politics</h2><span

In 1851, the <i>Løgting</i> was reinstated, but, until 1948, served mainly as an advisory body. </p><p>The islands are home to a notable <a href="/wiki/Faroese_independence" class="mw-redirect" title="Faroese independence">independence movement</a> that has seen an increase in popular support within recent decades. At the end of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, some of the population favoured independence from Denmark, and on 14 September 1946, <a href="/wiki/1946_Faroese_independence_referendum" title="1946 Faroese independence referendum">an independence referendum</a> was held on the question of <a href="/wiki/Secession" title="Secession">secession</a>. It was a consultative referendum, the parliament not being bound to follow the people's vote. This was the first time that the Faroese people had been asked whether they favoured independence or wanted to continue within the <a href="/wiki/Danish_kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Danish kingdom">Danish kingdom</a>. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Queen_Margrethe_21-06-2005_V%C3%A1gur.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Queen_Margrethe_21-06-2005_V%C3%A1gur.jpg/220px-Queen_Margrethe_21-06-2005_V%C3%A1gur.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Queen_Margrethe_21-06-2005_V%C3%A1gur.jpg/330px-Queen_Margrethe_21-06-2005_V%C3%A1gur.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Queen_Margrethe_21-06-2005_V%C3%A1gur.jpg/440px-Queen_Margrethe_21-06-2005_V%C3%A1gur.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="426" /></a><figcaption>Queen <a href="/wiki/Margrethe_II_of_Denmark" class="mw-redirect" title="Margrethe II of Denmark">Margrethe II</a> during a visit to <a href="/wiki/V%C3%A1gur" title="Vágur">Vágur</a> in 2005</figcaption></figure> <p>The result of the vote was only a slight majority in favour of secession. The Speaker of the Løgting, together with the majority, initiated the process of becoming an independent state. The minority of the Løgting left in protest, regarding these actions as illegal. One parliament member, Jákup í Jákupsstovu, was shunned by his own party, the Social Democratic Party, for having joined the majority of the Løgting. </p><p>The Speaker of the Løgting declared the Faroe Islands independent on 18 September 1946. </p><p>On 25 September 1946, a Danish prefect announced to the Løgting that the king, rejecting the majority vote, had dissolved the parliament and ordered new elections. </p><p>A parliamentary election was held a few months later, in which the political parties that favoured remaining in the Danish kingdom increased their share of the vote and formed a coalition. Based on this, they chose to reject secession. Instead, a compromise was reached and the <a href="/wiki/Folketing" title="Folketing">Folketing</a> passed a home-rule law that went into effect in 1948. The Faroe Islands' status as a Danish <span title="Danish-language text"><i lang="da">amt</i></span> was thereby brought to an end; the Faroe Islands were given a high degree of self-governance, supported by a financial <a href="/wiki/Subsidy" title="Subsidy">subsidy</a> from Denmark to recompense expenses the islands have on Danish services. </p><p>In protest against the new Home Rule Act, <a href="/wiki/Republic_(Faroe_Islands)" title="Republic (Faroe Islands)">Republic (Tjóðveldi)</a> was founded. </p><p>As of 2021, the islanders were evenly split between those favouring independence and those who prefer to continue as a part of the Kingdom of Denmark.<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>62<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Within both camps there is a wide range of opinions.

Garments include sweaters, scarves, and gloves. Faroese jumpers have distinct Nordic patterns; each village has some regional variations handed down from mother to daughter.

This appears to be a reaction to the loss of traditional lifestyles, and as a way to maintain and assert cultural tradition in a rapidly-changing society. Many young people study and move abroad, and this helps them maintain cultural links with their specific Faroese heritage. </p><p>There has also been a great interest in Faroese <a href="/wiki/Sweater" title="Sweater">sweaters</a><sup id="cite_ref-166" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-166"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>165<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> from the TV series <i><a href="/wiki/The_Killing_(Danish_TV_series)" title="The Killing (Danish TV series)">The Killing</a></i>, where the main actress (Detective Inspector Sarah Lund, played by <a href="/wiki/Sofie_Gr%C3%A5b%C3%B8l" title="Sofie Gråbøl">Sofie Gråbøl</a>) wears Faroese sweaters.<sup id="cite_ref-167" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-167"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>166<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Lace_knitting" title="Lace knitting">Lace knitting</a> is a traditional handicraft. The most distinctive trait of <a href="/wiki/Faroese_lace_shawls" class="mw-redirect" title="Faroese lace shawls">Faroese lace shawls</a> is the centre-back <a href="/wiki/Gusset" title="Gusset">gusset</a> shaping. Each shawl consists of two triangular side panels, a trapezoid-shaped back gusset, an edge treatment, and usually shoulder shaping. These are worn by all generations of women, particularly as part of the traditional Faroese costume as an overgarment. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Faroese_folk_dance_club_from_vagar.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Faroese_folk_dance_club_from_vagar.jpg/220px-Faroese_folk_dance_club_from_vagar.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Faroese_folk_dance_club_from_vagar.jpg/330px-Faroese_folk_dance_club_from_vagar.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Faroese_folk_dance_club_from_vagar.jpg/440px-Faroese_folk_dance_club_from_vagar.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="426" /></a><figcaption>Faroese folk dancers, some of them in national costume</figcaption></figure> <p>The traditional Faroese national dress is also a local handicraft that people spend a lot of time, money, and effort to assemble. It is worn at weddings and traditional dancing events, and on feast days. The cultural significance of the garment should not be underestimated, both as an expression of local and national identity and a passing on and reinforcing of traditional skills that bind local communities together. </p><p>A young Faroese person is normally handed down a set of children's Faroese clothes that have passed from generation to generation. Children are <a href="/wiki/Confirmed" class="mw-redirect" title="Confirmed">confirmed</a> at age 14, and normally start to collect the pieces to make an adult outfit, which is considered as a rite of passage. Traditionally the aim would have been to complete the outfit by the time a young person was ready to marry and wear the clothes at the ceremony – though it is mainly only men who do this now. </p><p>Each piece is intricately hand-knitted, dyed, woven or embroidered to the specifications of the wearer. For example, the man's waistcoat is put together by hand in bright blue, red or black fine wool. The front is then intricately embroidered with colourful silk threads, often by a female relative. The motifs are often local Faroese flowers or herbs. After this, a row of Faroese-made solid silver buttons are sewn on the outfit. </p><p>Women wear embroidered silk, cotton or wool shawls and pinafores that can take months to weave or embroider with local flora and fauna. They are also adorned with a handwoven black and red ankle-length skirt, knitted black and red jumper, a velvet belt, and black 18th century style shoes with silver buckles. The outfit is held together by a row of solid silver buttons, silver chains and locally-made silver brooches and belt buckles, often fashioned with Viking style motifs. </p><p>Both men's and women's national dress are extremely costly and can take many years to assemble. Women in the family often work together to assemble the outfits, including knitting the close-fitting jumpers, weaving and embroidering, sewing and assembling the national dress. </p><p>This tradition binds together families, passes on traditional crafts, and reinforces the Faroese culture of traditional village life in the context of a modern society. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Archives">Archives</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Faroe_Islands&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Archives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The National Archives of the Faroe Islands (<a href="/wiki/Faroese_language" title="Faroese language">Faroese</a>: <i lang="fo">Tjóðskjalasavnið</i>) is located in Tórshavn.
