The Kingdom of Denmark is a country in Northern Europe. It consists of metropolitan Denmark and its colonies of Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

History

Denmark was once a significant power within Europe and occupied and claimed most of Scandinavia.[1] However, due to wars of imperialism, the Danish empire reached the brink of collapse, and the final blow was the Prussian invasion of 1864.

Politics

The far-right Danish People's Party has been decreasing in strength since 2014. A new far-right party, Hard Line, advocates for banning Islam and deporting all Muslims from Denmark.[2]
