Danish colonial empire

The Danish colonial empire ((デンマーク語:danske kolonier)) denotes the colonies that Denmark-Norway (Denmark alone after 1814) possessed from 1536 until . At its apex the colonial empire spanned four continents (Europe, South America, Africa and Asia) and had reached an area of around in 1800.〔(How large was the Danish colonial empire at its greatest extent? ) - Find the data. Access date: September 4, 2012.〕 The period of colonial expansion marked a rise in the status and power of Danes and Norwegians in the union. Being the hegemon of Denmark-Norway or the ''Statsfædrelandet'' (lit. State Fathers' Land), Denmark is where the union's monumental palaces are now located and Copenhagen, today the capital of Denmark, was the city which both Norway and Denmark came to establish as their capital.
In the 17th century, following territorial losses on the Scandinavian Peninsula, Denmark-Norway began to develop colonies, forts, and trading posts in Africa, the Caribbean, and India. After 1814, when Norway was granted to Sweden following the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark retained what remained of Norway's great medieval colonial holdings. Christian IV first initiated the policy of expanding Denmark-Norway's overseas trade, as part of the mercantilist wave that was sweeping Europe. Denmark-Norway's first colony was established at Tranquebar () on India's southern coast in 1620. Admiral Ove Gjedde led the expedition that established the colony.
Today, the only remaining vestiges of this empire are the originally Norwegian colonies, currently within the Danish Realm the Faroe Islands and Greenland; the Faroes were a Danish county until 1948, while Greenland's colonial status ceased in 1953. They are now autonomous countries of the Kingdom of Denmark with home rule, in a relationship referred to as the "Unity of the Realm".
