 | | The monopoly trade over the Faroe Islands was abolished in 1856. | | | Instead there was made a compromise, and the Folketing passed a home-rule law which came into effect in 1948. | | | In continuation of this the Løgting was abolished (1816), and the Faroe Islands were to be governed as a regular Danish amt, with the Amtmand as its head of government. |
