Its taught in the faroese school system that a long time ago, before iceland became independent, that the king of denmark claimed that the faroese people loved being part of Denmark and was so confident that he help a vote where the majority wanted to be independent. The king said the was a miscount in the vote and discarded any that voted to leave. Later when the second vote was held, a large portion of the population basically said "we don't have a military and don't have the funds to support one similar to modern militaries" and thats a large part of why they voted to stay.
