<!--Hiiumaa was controlled by the [[Livonian Brothers of the Sword|Brothers of the Sword]] in the early 1200s (known as the [[Teutonic Order|Teutonic Knights]] from 1237). During this time it was first settled by Swedes and Germans. The island was ruled first by the kingdom of [[Denmark]], then by [[Sweden]] in the 1500s-1600s, and became part of the [[Russian Empire]] in 1721. After the German occupation of Estonia during World War I, Hiiumaa became part of the newly independent country, Republic of Estonia, in 1918. During World War II, the island was first invaded and occupied by the Soviet army in 1940-1941, and then again in 1944. Hiiumaa remained under Soviet control until 1991, when Estonia restored its full independence.<ref name=":0" /> -->
