During the 9th century the name Denmark (Danmark: "border district of the Danes") was used for the first time.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Denmark History Nomadic hunters followed the lichen and moss-eating reindeer into post-glacial Denmark. The reindeer heard 'go north' voices, but the Stone Age hunters stayed put, sowing seeds in the ash of slash-and-burn fields, fencing in stock animals and burying their dead vertically. Skill and artistry flowered in the Bronze Age from 1800 BC, trade routes paddled all the way south and the most beautiful and valuable objects were buried in bogs as sacrificial offerings. Iron clanged in from 500 BC and was domestically available, leading to the development of large agricultural communities. Present-day Denmark can trace its linguistic and cultural roots back to when the region was settled by the Danes, a tribe that is thought to have migrated south from Sweden around 500 AD. In the late 9th century, warriors led by the Norwegian Viking chieftain Hardegon conquered the Jutland peninsula. The Danish monarchy, which claims to be the world's oldest, dates back to Hardegon's son, Gorm the Old, who established his reign early in the 10th century. Gorm's son, Harald Bluetooth, completed the conquest of the Danes, speeding their conversion to Christianity. Bluetooth's gob-stopping successors, Forkbeard and sons, got the wood on England, setting up shop and throne and living the sweet life of Anglo-Dane monarchs. They kept it together for half a century or so, but as Viking power waned, the borders of the Danish kingdom shrank back to Denmark.

Denmark thus joined the Protestant side in the lengthy religious wars, which ravaged Europe until 1648.

DENMARK Denmark controlled an enormous swath of land in the 1000s: Iceland, Greenland, Britain, Norway, and more. Several hundred years later, Britain was out of Denmark's orbit but Sweden and Finland had been acquired. But through the succeeding centuries, Finland, Sweden, and Norway all took different paths Finland and Sweden to independence and Norway to the control of Sweden. Other possessions went to Prussia (Schleswig-Holstein) and even the United States (Virgin Islands, sold in 1914). Iceland became independent, too, in 1944. Before World War II, Denmark signed a nonaggression agreement with Germany which was broken months later when the Nazis invaded Denmark. Despite this occupation, the Danes managed to save over 7,000 Jews by sending them to safe haven in Sweden. Post-war, Denmark has enjoyed peace and fluctuating economic fortunes. As in many of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark's comprehensive social welfare policies requires high taxes and even Denmark's generally impressive economic growth faltered in the 1970s. But, along with the rest of the world, Denmark's economy improved in the 1980s.
