About this listen
On this episode of Our American Stories, by the time the United States sent troops to Iceland, the war in Europe was already reshaping the Atlantic. Iceland declared neutrality, but its location placed it squarely inside the expanding European theater of World War II. Control of sea lanes, supply routes, and air coverage made the island too important to ignore.
The History Guy walks through the timeline that brought American forces to a neutral country and explains how this move fit into the larger World War II European campaign.
