Here is a timeline of events in Iceland in the last year:
January 26, 2009 - Iceland's ruling coalition falls apart when Prime Minister Geir Haarde says he is resigning. Two days later Social Democrats are given a mandate to form a new government.
February 1 - Iceland names an interim center-left government which promises to rebuild the economy. Sigurdardottir of the Social Democratic Alliance is prime minister. The Social Democrats, the junior partner in the previous government, forms the caretaker administration with the Left-Greens.
April 25 - The caretaker government of the Social Democrats and Left-Greens wins renewed power in parliamentary elections.
June 6 - Iceland agrees to reimburse Britain and the Netherlands for compensating people in the two countries holding Icesave accounts at Landsbanki.
July 17 - Iceland applies to join the EU a day after parliament narrowly backs plans to begin talks on joining.
August 28 - Parliament approves "Icesave" bill, having added conditions such as linking payment to GDP development. However, Britain and the Netherlands refuse to approve the revisions made by the Icelandic parliament.
October 18 - The Iceland government agrees to a new deal to repay Britain and the Netherlands, paving the way for new aid from international lenders.
December 30 - Parliament approves the amended bill to repay more than $5 billion lost by savers in Britain and the Netherlands.
January 5, 2010 - President Olafur Grimsson unexpectedly rejects the bill, forcing a referendum on the issue and threatening vital economic aid.
January 21 - Iceland will do its utmost to meet its obligations to Britain and the Netherlands and to ensure the Icesave affair does not harm international relations, Sigurdardottir writes in a Dutch newspaper.
February 25 - Further talks with Britain and the Netherlands on repaying the Icesave debt break down after the parties are unable to agree on revised payment terms.
March 3 - Iceland says it has made a last-ditch compensation offer to Britain and the Netherlands, ahead of the referendum which is expected to nullify the current deal.
-- Foreign Minister Ossur Skarphedinsson says in interviews that Iceland is waiting for British and Dutch replies to the offer, which it hoped to present as a better alternative and so avoid the referendum. March 5 - Iceland's economy grows with GDP increasing by 3.3 percent in the last three months of 2009 from the prior three months, its best performance since 2008. It is still down 7 percent from a year earlier.
-- Sigurdardottir says her government will not step down if it loses the Icesave referendum and says considerable progress has been made toward forcing a new deal with Britain and the Netherlands.
March 6 - Iceland overwhelmingly rejects a $5 billion deal to repay debts to Britain and the Netherlands in a referendum. Iceland now must go back to the negotiating table.

Writing by David Cutler 哈哈，事关自己利益的时候全都团结一致了，人类可真是 张家欠李家10万元钱，张家全家投票表决：这钱还不还李家？张家全票通过：不还了，有那钱我还买点肉吃呢。 做杨白劳幸福啊，原来可以自己家里投票否决还钱的 续楼上两位：杨白劳和喜儿以两票赞成0票反对0票弃权通过公投，黄世仁的帐不用还了。 民主就是好啊，赖账都合法了...
改天美国也该公投了，欠中国的钱不用还了...
这年头，欠钱的是大爷。 汗！储蓄啊！又不是买的投资产品，除非该银行破产，否则怎么可以不还？ 求民煮式的解读。Q40) 无赖国家! 好流氓的国家 i think the icelandic people are protecting their interests.
besides, it's reasonable to Let the bankers pay for their own greed, not the people. Hey,girl, the bankers also blong to "the people"....Q33) 如果银行不是国有的而是私营的，不还也是可以理解的。
