Denmark (Varna)

In Varna, the Kingdom of Denmark was a northern European monarchy that existed after the collapse of the Kalmar Union. As the de jure successor of the union, Denmark held a grudge against Sweden, whose secession from the union eventually led to its dissolution.
The Kalmar Union was dissolved with the secessions of Sweden and Norway in November 1508, during the First Baltic War, but this was not recognised by the Danes until the Treaty of Riga which concluded the war. 
Denmark then remained in total isolation until late April 1535, when they decided to reach out to the Norwegians, and both kingdoms agreed to counter Sweden's influence everywhere. Their first move was to intervene in the Livonian War to take the city of Riga in June 1540, which Denmark knew was a strategic city which the Swedes also wished to control.
Then in February 1545, Denmark and Norway became two of the founding members of the League of Verdun, a group of Catholic nations assembled to combat the growing anti-Catholic movements across Europe.
