——【Preface】—
Denmark, the small Nordic country, may seem inconspicuous, but it hides a shocking secret.
Although it has a mainland area of just over 40,000 square kilometres, it has an overseas territory of more than 2 million square kilometres under its banner – Greenland, the world's largest island, which gives Denmark a great geographical advantage.
Greenland's abundant natural resources attracted the attention of Denmark, which led to the establishment of several scientific research stations and political centers on the island. In addition, Denmark has maintained close cultural exchanges and interactions with the island's residents, which has jointly promoted the development of both sides.
However, the real Denmark is not just a country with a vast overseas territory.
Denmark, as a seemingly inconspicuous small country, has made Greenland the world's largest overseas territory by actively developing and operating it.
At the same time, the real Denmark presents a dynamic country with its unique political system, diversified economic structure, rich cultural connotation, perfect social welfare and active diplomatic attitude.
- [The real country of disguises] —
Denmark, a country located in the north of Europe, is known for its unique geographical location and mild maritime climate.
This possesses about 592A country with a population of 80,000, although not rich in resources, has gradually developed into an important European country in history thanks to the unremitting efforts of its people.
On the territory of Denmark, there are two special presences - the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The existence of these two regions has brought considerable territorial disputes to Denmark.
The Faroe Islands, with an area of about 1,399 square kilometers and a population of about 48,497 people, are an archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Greenland, on the other hand, is the largest island in the world, with an area of about 2.16 million square kilometers, located in the northeast of North America, connecting the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
Greenland's climate is harsh, freezing all year round, with more than 80% of the land covered in snow and ice. The island is 50 times the size of Denmark itself, but its relationship with Denmark is complicated.
After World War II, with the decline of colonists and the influence of various currents of thought, the people of Greenland began to seek independence.
In the process, Denmark** resorted to political gamesmanship, making Greenland a state and granting it autonomous status in 1948. However, Denmark still retains diplomatic and defense rights over it.
Still, Greenland's path to independence remains challenging. Due to its poor geographical location and lack of population, Greenland has weak mining capacity, and the maintenance of daily life still requires Danish subsidies.
In 2009, Greenland finally achieved full self-government, but this does not mean that its path to independence has been smooth.
Greenland's path to independence was fraught with difficulties. Despite its geographical location and abundant resources, there are many difficulties and challenges to overcome in order to truly achieve independence under the current circumstances.
——[Now a happy and comfortable life]—
Denmark, a small European country known as the "fairytale kingdom", has shown its unique charm with a land area of more than 40,000 square kilometers.
In this country, despite its limited resources, Denmark is well aware of its own advantages and limitations, and vigorously supports industries suitable for its own development.
Among them, the pig industry and the pharmaceutical industry have undoubtedly become the two pillar industries in Denmark. You may wonder how such a developed country could have pig farming as its pillar industry.
In fact, Danish pork is extremely competitive in the international market, and according to statistics, this small country has about one-fifth of the global market.
The success of the Danish pig industry is inseparable from the support of the best. Here, if you want to become a qualified pork farmer, you need to go through five years of systematic training and obtain a certificate issued by ** before you can take up your post.
These rigorous trainings ensure that the farmers' farming techniques and product quality meet international standards. In addition, the Danes' combination of technology and pig farming has made their pork of high quality and loved by consumers.
At the same time, the pharmaceutical industry is one of the important industries in Denmark. With its advanced scientific research and innovation capabilities, Danish pharmaceutical companies occupy an important position in the global market.
The favorable international situation and the guarantee of economic development have provided Denmark with a stable growth momentum. **Strong support for pillar industries, coupled with a good international situation, has jointly promoted the development of the Danish economy.
Economic prosperity has also provided a strong guarantee for social welfare. Denmark's social welfare system is exemplary. Free health care guarantees the health of Danes.
The short working hours and the well-established annual leave system have allowed the Danish people to find the perfect work-life balance. All this makes Denmark a real-life version of the "fairytale kingdom".
——[History of Denmark]—
Denmark, a small country in Europe, despite its small size, has had a glorious time in its history.
In medieval northern Europe, Denmark was the homeland of the Vikings, this group of northern European people who lived by sea plundering and **, from the 8th century, launched a series of raids to various parts of Europe, plundered a lot of wealth and land, and even once occupied parts of England, France, Italy and other countries, becoming a major threat to Europe.
Their activities were not limited to Europe, but also explored many islands in the North Atlantic, such as the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and even reached Newfoundland in North America, becoming the first Europeans to discover the Americas.
In the 12th century, Denmark formed a unified state and began to expand abroad. In 1261, Norway officially declared the occupation of Greenland, which became Norwegian territory. However, over time, the relationship between Denmark and Norway has changed.
Between 1376 and 1380, Margaret, who had a Danish princess and a Norwegian princess, gave birth to Olaf, who eventually succeeded to the throne of Denmark and Norway and became the co-lord of Denmark and Norway.
However, Denmark is geographically superior to Norway and has more resources than Norway, so the dominance has always been in Danish hands. Within the United Nations, Denmark has a strong influence on political and economic decision-making.
Thus, Norway became a vassal of Denmark, and Greenland, which belonged to Norway, naturally became Danish territory. In 1721, the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway officially declared sovereignty over Greenland.
Subsequently, Denmark sent settlers to Greenland, carried out economic activities, and established the Viceroyalty of Greenland. However, in the 20th century, the parting of the ways of Denmark and Norway brought the question of Greenland's ownership back into focus.
In 1940, Denmark quickly surrendered to Germany, and Greenland went into Danish possession. However, the British** took over Greenland, which was later taken over by the U.S. military due to the U.S. entry into the war. After the end of the Second World War, Greenland nominally returned to Danish control.
However, the military activities of the US military in Greenland provoked ** among the local population. The United States **offered Denmark** to buy Greenland, but it was refused.
Despite this, Denmark** allowed the military activity of the US military in Greenland. This has led to the relocation and resentment of Greenlanders. After the Cold War, the U.S. military built military bases and garrisons in Greenland, and Denmark decentralized.
Greenlanders' demands for independence and Denmark's reduced control over Greenland. Greenland declared autonomy and became a self-governing territory of Denmark.
Denmark** controls only Greenland's defence and foreign affairs powers, with other powers decentralized. Greenlandic authorities declare Greenlandic as the official language and Danish as a second language.
In general, Denmark's grip on Greenland is weakening, and Greenland has a strong sense of independence. However, Denmark** is reluctant to declare Greenland its territory. Despite this, Denmark has become a developed country on its own territory.
——[Conclusion]—
Denmark may seem like a small country, but it plays a pivotal role on the global stage.
Although the country controls large areas of overseas territory, these territories enjoy a high degree of autonomy, such as Greenland, which won autonomy in the struggle and gradually developed a unique style.
Denmark** have a clear understanding of their position and role, and they actively contribute to the development of the industry, especially the pig industry and the pharmaceutical industry, which have become important competitiveness for Denmark in the global market.
The rapid development of the pig and pharmaceutical industries has not only contributed to the growth of the Danish economy, but also created a large number of jobs. The thriving industry brings a steady economic income to Denmark and supports Denmark in providing a world-class welfare system to improve the living standards of its people.
The Danish economy has been performing steadily, which has allowed people to enjoy a high quality of life. The superior economic situation provides sufficient financial resources to support and improve the social welfare system, including free medical care, education and social security.
These well-established benefits systems make Denmark a desirable place for many people around the globe. Denmark is attractive not only for its excellent social welfare and solid economic development, but also for its effective management.
Despite the challenges of globalization, Denmark** is able to respond effectively to a wide range of internal and external issues to ensure the long-term stability and sustainable development of the country. Denmark is a dynamic and innovative country.
While significant progress has been made in economic development and social welfare, it is also committed to environmental protection and cultural heritage. The Danish story is like a magnificent drama, full of fun and laughter.
