Denmark is one of Europe's oldest kingdoms, with a history that stretches from the Viking age through centuries of Scandinavian power struggles, religious reformation, colonial expansion, and two World Wars. Despite its relatively small size, Denmark has played an outsized role in European political and cultural history, and its story is rich with both dramatic conflict and gradual social development.
This book traces Danish history from the early Viking period to the modern welfare state, covering the major dynasties, wars, and social changes that shaped the country. It gives particular attention to Denmark's relationships with its Scandinavian neighbors, its colonial holdings in Greenland and the Caribbean, and the occupation and resistance during World War 2. The writing is clear and informative, aimed at general readers with an interest in European history.
Contents:
