9 Maps That Tell the REAL Story of Denmark
#denmark #Danmark #Dansk
In this video we explore Danish history, and the modern country of Denmark through 9 maps that tell the real story of Denmark.
We look at maps of Copenhagen in the 1800s, The peak of the Danish empire, Examine Denmark before and after the year 1864, and look at some fun maps to better understand Danish politics and the Danish economy. These maps of Denmark help supply us with facts about Denmark but also to tell a story with those facts.
Each of these maps of Denmark helps us to understand Danish history and Danish culture. They give us a better understanding of the changes that have shaped Denmark into the country it is today.
We hope you enjoy this video and let us know what you get out of these maps of Denmark.

Another fun fact about the war of 1864: It was after this devastating defeat, that the Danish flag was so widely adopted by the Danish public. After the flag had fallen from the sky in Estonia in 1219 and until shortly before this war the flag was only used by the king, state and government. And at one point it was in fact illegal for regular people to fly the flag. But after the defeat in 1864 the people of Denmark would increasingly come together around the flag for happy and sad occasions, little by little making the full-flown flag the symbol of all celebration that it is today, and the half-flown flag the symbol of sorrow. And that is is the story of why today all celebrations including Christmas and birthdays for Dane and foreigner alike are celebrated with flags, to mark that day special and worthy of celebration

@larsrons7937 2 года назад

After 1864 the Danish flag became illegal in southern Jutland. Instead the native Danes breeded a special local *pig, red with a white stripe,* representing the Danish flag. [EDIT: My text was 100 years off, "1964" by mistake) ]

For the third week now I have been living in a fog, I can’t eat, drink or laugh normally, the war doesn’t fly out of my head for a second. Ukrainians, stay strong, all our thoughts are with you. PLEASE HELP MHE B DIFFICULT SITUATIONS Of course, I am very ashamed to ask for help from people I do not know, but I really want to unlearn to be a Programmer. I have already started studying for the 2nd month, but I need practice, and a laptop for practice! Why programmer? since I am an orphan and I recently graduated from a technical school, for this reason the State no longer supports me and I have no income from the word "completely" My brother and I live in B in a small village and it is extremely difficult to find a job. We live rather poorly (but amicably), although we have our own apartment, we have not paid the utility bill for the second year. And I really want to start a better life for myself. Even B Pyaterochka was not hired for a job, because after the death of my mother I had Panic Attacks and depression, and therefore my sister sent me to a psychiatric hospital even if it was a long time ago but not give me a green traffic light to normal life after that. Recently, a friend offered me help and said he would help in learning, but you need a laptop for this. The training will be free, but the cheapest and most suitable laptop in our village costs 700€ The amount is quite large for me and it is unlikely that I will be able to save it up in the near future. . If it's not difficult for you, can you please bring the fulfillment of my goal closer. I will be glad and very grateful for any amount. At least 1€. I'm sure the world is full good people. And if at least some of them help me in achieving my goal, then the required amount will soon be collected. If you want to help me with the fulfillment of my small but strong dream, you can transfer any amount MICB 4028 1102 0437 4620

Another great video from you guys. Keep 'em comming! :-) Back in 2009 a work assignment brought me to Ringsted, Iowa. A small town with only ~400 inhabitants. It was founded in the 1880s by danish emigrants, as you described. To this day, a large percentage are named Jensen, Hansen, Rasmussen, Jorgensen, Sondergaard and so on. Really nice people that to some extend tried to keep some danish culture in their daily life, like singing old danish songs, eating rullepølse and leverpostej and flying the danish flag - along with the american flag, of course. They had even translated the danish national anthem, "Der er et yndigt land", into english, but with focus on the content of the text, more than making it 'easy to sing'.

Historian here, and one who absolutely love the wars of the 1800's and all the nitty gritty details that happened leading up to and in the aftermath of absolute monarchy - including, romanticism and the rise of nationalism and national identity, the reshaping of state laws including labor laws and of course, the loss of land. We had lost most importance at that point after the loss of the fleet in 1801 (and certainly after the bombing of the capital in 07) but you are right, especially in terms of trade and alliances, Denmark still had some sway. Very nice video. Danmark til Eidern! as they say. (slogan used by the nationalists in the late 1800's though apparently Christian the 10th didn't really get the memo that no one actually believed getting the border all the way down to Eidern was possible. Arguably they just believed it would be easier to negotiate from a standpoint of asking too much to begin with XD)

The 1863 map doesn't distinguish between the kingdom of Denmark and the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg. The duchies were not part of the kingdom itself, but they were under the Danish king in other ways. Holstein and Lauenburg had purely German language and culture. Schleswig had mostly Danish language and culture, except for the southern part.

@davidpax 2 года назад

Another interesting period in Danish history is the England wars 1801, 1807-1814. England feared that the great Danish navy would fight for the enemy which lead to the famous navy battle outside Copenhagen in 1801. Even though our ships were without sails we (almost) beat the Nelson fleet. He had to use dirty tricks to win. They came back and stole the rest of our ships in 1807. The king then allowed all Danish ships to act as pirates, if an English ship turned up. I'm sure you guys can get the historic facts somewhere. Check it out.

4:20 The told story is not complete. The population in the shown area wasn't cultural homogenous. Holstein was a predomenantly German speaking area, Southern Schleswig was a mix of Danish, German and Frisian and Northern Schleswig was except of the bigger cities Danish speaking. Furthmore was the Duchy of Holstein a fief of the Holy Roman Empire to the Danish Kingdom. With the November Constitution the Danish King wanted to incorporate the whole area into the Danish Kingdom which was a violation of the London Protocol of 1852. This led in the end to a war with Prussia and, not to forget, Austria.

Peak Danish Power? - Try to look back further to the lands of Canute the Great or a bit later the Kalmar Union. And what makes youthing Denmark was in need of money during WW1 - we were getting rich being neutral and trading. The only reason we sold the Virgin Islands for $25 million was that the alternative was to get nothing in return - they would have become USAmercian in any case.

@RobeTrotting 2 года назад

Point 1 - I wouldn’t call that peak power or imperialism in the terms of modern nations states. Cnute’s North Sea empire is a really cool part of history, but the level of control, sovereignty, governance is a bit different. I also think the Kalmar Union fits a different classification and purpose (it was basically a defensive alliance to deter stronger neighbors). Point 2 - Denmark was hardly rich or getting rich during the war period - the Danish economy shrunk and trade was still much lower than pre-war trade. Plus the Virgin Islands were an added economic drain in another hemisphere. You can’t claim that America was going to annex the islands. The negotiations took 50 years.

@CarlAlex2 2 года назад

@@RobeTrotting Where do you get the impression that Danish economy during WW1 was bad? The bad economic crisis happened after the war. The war ended in 1918. The catastroffic failure of Landmansbanken was in 1922 - nasty when a too big to fail bank fails. The workers might not have been so happy about the nasty inflation that happened after they just made a 5 year deal on wages with the employers, but there was plenty money in the country - ever heard the term "Gullash baron"?

@TheJoergenDK 2 года назад

About reasons why Denmark is how it is: Andelsbevægelsen og foreningslivet - the cooperative movement and association life - associations and clubs such as in sports, hobbies, social activism & work, etc - These are some of the reasons for "The state of Denmark". Farmers joined together to start their own dairies and cut out the middle man. This was an American idea, by the way. It helped keep the small farmers in charge of their own lives, as in: "United we stand!" United. But in charge. Community. Almost communism. The word is common. And commonly misused. I'm not a communist, to be clear. But The Cooperative Movement was one of the best things that ever came out of the US, and it cushioned the blow of capitalism and gave Denmark a sense of common sense, which now somehow only resides here, in the North East of Europe with so much better life conditions due to the state representing the voters. France, the United Kingdom and the US all have the same two party hate-machine. You need more parties, coalitions and compromises, based on real and researched facts about how things work, things like vaccines and advertisement for medicine and mock wrestling. Sorry, this has turned into a rant. The idea is that socialism is the opposite of centralized power, be that thru money or votes. The idea is that the state represents the interest of all the citizens, against any economic entity or any other kind of un-democratic power. At least, that is my idea of socialism. It is almost the same as democracy. Only, my idea is to limit any form of power in the hands of one or a few individuals to a certain size, say you can have twenty times the minimum wage or the ownership of what equals twenty times the average size property. If the floor is level and the foundation is solid, the dancers won't fall so often.. Power corrupts. Money is power. Keep it simple - KIS*

thye virgin island story is not entirely true. america would have taken the island not germany.

@RobeTrotting 2 года назад

You’re saying America was planning to invade overseas territory of neutral European countries during WWI and not GERMANY?! 😂 Please explain this “fact check” and why America paid 25,000,000 USD to Denmark instead of just “taking it”.

@larskjar 2 года назад

While i have no sources on this, as i heard it in school back in the day. However, clearly Germany was not, in 1917, going to send an amphibious assault across the Atlantic to seize the islands. Especially not as Denmark has well over 100000 troops fortified at the border, and good ports for a British landing. And a significant part of the danish population was itching for a rematch of 1864, now with allies. As Denmark allready exported food to the Germans they had neither the capacity nor an interest in war with Denmark. The US however indicated that the islands were "vital to the security of the navy during wartime", and could totally take them with no direct ill effect. However this might tip the balance towards Denmark joining the central powers, so 25 mil was cheaper than the diplomatic cost.

@@larskjar exactly. we sold them before we where invaded by germany( which never happened) because we thought america would anex them without paying us. it was a lose lose situation for denmark, like a lice between to fingernails.

@Fabermain 2 года назад

@@RobeTrotting no im not. im saying in case denmark would have fallen to germany, america would have anexed the island like they did with for instance the philipeanes in the 1800s after the spanish american war.. we sold them with a gun to our head. but it was a german gun. not american. america couldnt have risked german occupied terrotory in its "territorial" waters back then anymore than america could accept missiles in cuba 40-45 years later. later on that sale was used as a token in the greenland and who they belonged too.

If you're gonna make a video where you write danish words you should do it right, for example, its not ny borlig but "Nye Borgerlige"!

@gravballemandendk 2 года назад

Denmark allowed Germany to rig the voting of the border. They posponed the vote with allowed germany to move germans into the areas. and at the voting they allowed new german settlers to vote, while the danish citizen that had moved back to denmark, but lived in the area before, were not allowed to vote. The border should be at danevirke!

@henningbartels6245 Год назад

Honestly, how many of these settlers or moving people might that have been? 1 ... 2 % of the population? Do you think, this would have actually change the outcome of the voting??

You’re probably right about Knud’s North Sea empire - it’s hard to contextualize with today’s view of borders and sovereignty but maybe we should just cover that eta in a future video - it’s really fascinating.
