== History ==
=== Ancient Norse History ===
Denmark is the founder of the Nordic Culture, along with Norway and Sweden, they were the first ones to reach North America (Greenland), they were the Vikings and even almost conquered England.
=== Middle Ages ===
Denmark, for the longest time, was the strongest of the Norse nations, having Vinland, Greenland, Norway, Svalbard, and Iceland. Sweden had Finland and Estonia, but Denmark was stronger. When Christopher Columbus first colonized the Americas, Denmark colonized a little bit of it, but they kept a stronghold in Northern Europe.
=== Later Years ===
Denmark's downfall from grace was in the 1800s, when they joined Napoleon, and lost Norway to Sweden. Sweden already had surpassed Denmark in power in the 1700s, but it was solidified when they lost control of Norway and Svalbard, their remaining territories outside of mainland Denmark are scarcely populated cold islands. Afterwards, they mostly remained neutral, even during the Great War.
