Denmark has one of the most peaceful societies in the world with high standards of living. It is one of the least corrupted democracies.
Denmark was once ruled by the Vikings. The Vikings were replaced by the Danish monarch. Remember the Kalmar Union that we discussed in the history of Sweden? After the dissolution of this treaty, Denmark went to war against Sweden and lost much of its territory.
The country fought wars with Germany too. Denmark lost Schleswig to Germany, but it was regained after the First World War. This happened in the 1920s, leading to the creation of modern Denmark.
Germany occupied Denmark during the Second World War, but it was freed after the war. Today, Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with a vibrant representative democracy.
