The Icelandic Colany, Mogadishu
A factory was started by the king manly in 1871, a furniture factory and it was wery provitable to produce basic furniture.
In the election of 1872 "Alþýðuflokkurinn" gainend 20 % and "Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn" 80 % and they formend the goverment. But Jörundur, crown prince of Iceland, first of Sigurðs 3 sons and 5 cildrens, traveled to the colany Mogadishu. He saw a provitable and good reagion, heavely populated by humans and cattle. But it was reaching its limit. There was not much land free for farming. Immagrients and young locals would find it hard to find land or a jop in farming. He gathered 11 soldiers, 1 doctor and 1 scientist and headed out with them to explore the untamed region in the west. After a month the expontintion headed home to the colany, bringing good news to Iceland.

Danir snúa vörn í sókn (The Danes fight back)
Nú hefur seinna stríð Austurríki við Danmörku tekið óvænta stefnu. Danir hafa unnið mikla sigra á Norðurher Austurríkismanna og hertekið Suður-Danmörku. Hið Þýska stórveldi er, sem stendur, er niðurlægt og sigrað af frændum okkar og smáríkinu Danmörku......
Now has the second war of Austrian aggression taken a unexpected turn. The Dane have won great victories on the Austrian Northren army and occupied Southren-Denmark. The great German empire has, for the moment, been humiliated and defeated by our relatives and the minor power Denmark.

The Austrian-Denmark war in 1876
The shattered Usa was attacked by Mexigo that demanded Texas by 1877 and Italy fought a war against Egipt.
The world was a dangerues place and Iceland decided, in mid 1877, that she could no longer be without a real army. Even though around 700 troops were on guard in major cities and towns it was a great step that Iceland took in 1877. Around 3 000 young somaly boys were called into the 1. Icelandic army. Somaly was the biggest nationality in Iceland and was respected so this was not so strange.
The Danes were now considered to be loosing the war of Austrian aggresion. Even though Denmark had not lost a battle she was under blockade and her colany had been occupied.
By october was the First Icelandic army trained and Geir Hanse, a son of the Danish Jorgen Hanse, a Danish officer and a noble man, and Kristín Ragnardóttir, the daughter of a commrence ship owner, was made a general of the army and was orderd to secure the land to the west. Icelandic africa kept on growing.
And back to the Austrian-Demark war. Now Prussia and her allies had declered war against Austria over slevic. And during the early year of 1878 a white peace was signed between Austria and Denmark. Even though slevic had not been returned to Denmark she had proven herself a worthy nemesis to Austria.

The Danish-Austrian borders
Iceland gained a new colany in mid 1878. It was called Kenia and much to offer for Iceland. A great deal of coffe. That colany also had many young men ready to join the army. By 1879 Iceland had
16 000 troops defending the country. The navy was increased as well.
The new colany had boosted the population and now there were almost 3 million people in Iceland. The people of Iceland had become increasingly social and Good health care was accepted along with 8 hour work day.
The 1870s had proved that Iceland was a rising power. It now had navy and army to speak of, large colanies, great respect of the world and the most liberal contition in the world. When the Icelandic settlers reached Lake Victoria an new ere began.
