Invasion of Iceland
The invasion of Iceland, codenamed Operation Fork, was a British military operation conducted by the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines during World War II.
The invasion began in the early morning of 10 May 1940 with British troops disembarking in Reykjavík, capital of neutral Iceland.

Iceland during World War II
On 7 July 1941, the defence of Iceland was transferred from Britain to the (still officially neutral) United States, by agreement with Iceland, and American troops replaced the British. Iceland's strategic position along the North Atlantic sealanes, perfect for air and naval bases, could bring new importance to the island.The 40,000 American soldiers stationed in Iceland outnumbered all adult men in Iceland at the time. (At the time, Iceland had a population of around 120,000).

Выводы:
1. малое государство нейтрально только постольку, поскольку это удобно большим.
2. большое государство нейтральным не бывает.
