Denmark is an aeternitas of the history of european integration that will have influence on the future of Europe. The name given by the inhabitants is KONGERIGET DANMARK with the official national languages of Danish (belonging to the group of German family) spoken by the citizens who today live in the parliamentary Monarchy of Denmark.
Denmark is situated in northern Europe over the German lowlands: it southern border is delimited by Germany while the rest of the Jutland Peninsula and the 400 islands (among what are Fyn, Sjaelland and Bornholm) are sourrounded by the Baltic Sea at East, by the Kattegat and the Skagerrat channels, by the North Sea at West, included the soverainities of the islands of Greenland and of Faroe. The territory of Denmark is a great plain modelled by the sea and the glaciations, with around 7400 kilometers of sandy coasts that facilitated the fishing activitis beside agriculture and breeding sectors, thanks to typical Denmark hill and moors and the low forests. Neverthless the high latitude, the climate is quite temperate with lighty and fresh summers and mite winters while the modest precipitations are concentrated in autumnal season.
The history of Denmark started with the first settlements of Vikings (as you can read in this article) who had been followed along the ancient times by the ancient Celts in Neolitich age, then by the Dane tribe of Germans who in the I century AD moved from the Skania region. They formed the first kingdom in I century BC ruled until 1397 AD by the Skjoldung dinasty and following Munso-Astrididi dinasty, that have been among the most important of the whole history of european integration.
When the Munso House families extinguished Denmark became part of the Kalmar League from 1397 to 1536 AD, political union of all the Scandinavia region plus Iceland and Greenland administered by various persons and finally by the Oldenburg dinasty, one of the most glorious european genealogies enfeoffed since XI century AD of the county of Holstein-Gottorp who became the royal family of the Kingdom of Denmark since today! Since ever independent, nowadays Denmark is administrated by regions (Syddanmark, Midtjylland, Nordjylland, Sjaelland and Hovedstaden) and the Monarchy, with the capital in Copenaghen, while the biggest cities are Aalborg, Arhus (seat of an ancient Catholic archibischopric) and Odense. Is Denmark using the Euro? No, even if it is member of the European Union the national coin remained the Danish Krone (to learn more read this article on the gold of Europe).
