Especially following WWII, in which Denmark offered no resistance.
- daniel_iversen 7y agoMaybe that statement is a bit ambiguous and probably by a lot of views incorrect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_resistance_movement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_resistance_movement
- jopsen 7y agoOkay, fair point, we can then say little resistance. My point was that few Danes we're proud of this, and had something to prove. Thus, selling Greenland was off the table.
- brighter2morrow 7y agoWhy should Danes have resisted in WW2?
- Sharlin 7y agoBecause they were occupied by Nazi Germany?
- brighter2morrow 7y agoWas that bad for Danes?
- jonnycomputer 7y agosome of them, very bad.
- brighter2morrow 7y agoMaybe you're mixing that up with Poland? Nazi rule in Denmark was popular and internment camps there we're similar to US ones of Japanese, Italians and Germans, and similarly in the US there was no resistance either.
- Sharlin 7y agoTypically it is expected that sovereign states resist attempts at undermining their sovereignty.
- brighter2morrow 7y agoExpected by who? The original comment I replied to said that Danes offered no resistance to Nazi occupation, as if that were to be expected without stating why.
