The objection to Britain's invasion of Iceland

Was Britain's invasion of Iceland an offensive war under the precedent applied at Nuremberg?

The response accepts the objection while citing Denmark's occupation and Britain's protective justification as reasons the case remained a disputed gray area.

A viewer challenges Britain's invasion of Iceland as an offensive war, invoking the precedent applied at Nuremberg. The response accepts the objection while placing it in the circumstances created by Germany's invasion of Denmark, Iceland's protector. Britain claimed that its forces were protecting Iceland against a German landing and later transferred that protective role to the Americans. Those circumstances are offered as reasons the case remained politically uncomfortable and was not pursued. The protective rationale leaves the challenge to the invasion's legitimacy unresolved.
