    Well a warm/"Green" Greenland being settled by Denmark would likely result in a comparability stronger Denmark and being more open to empire building early on. We might see Danish settlements in the St. Lawrence river valley, the Hudson bay and possibly further south in North America. Along with more sugar colonies in the Caribbean like the Danish west indies. Along side a possibly world spanning trade networks similar to Portugal and the Netherlands.
    On the European side, Denmark was one of the richest per captia states in Europe with a high percentage of land available for cultivation and one of the most literate states in Europe during the middle ages. In this timeline with so much food coming in from Greenland and Denmark proper. Copenhagen would likely be a major center of trade for Northern Europe on the scale of Amsterdam or London. While a more relevant Denmark would flip the power balance in Europe. Favoring France (Denmark would not want a strong German state on it's border like France), Spain (A trade counter to the Dutch,Portuguese and the British) and Poland (Same reasons as France and Denmark would not want Russia dominating the Baltic Sea) and hurting Prussia,Austria,Russia,Great Britain's ambitions (Personally Sweden is on the fence on my take as both would want the Baltic and North sea but would despise Russia and Prussia) and Denmark would be a more significant player in major conflicts like the 30 years war,The great Northern war, The seven years war and the Napoleonic wars. But they would decline after Prussia began to unite the German states and Russia takes more of the Baltic states and by the 20th century. Things are starting to be more like our timeline again with Denmark only being a regional power in Europe and possibility losing Greenland to an independence movement.

      Marylandbrony Great read, good job!
      However, why do you assume all of these European wars that happened on our timeline, would happen on this one? Accourding to your description, Denmark would have a huge empire way even before Spain. And why would Spain have an empire at all? If Denmark would be such a great power, then Europe would already know of the existance of America, and Spain would probably not be the first one to get there.

    • @Marylandbrony
      @Marylandbrony 6 лет назад +16

      Spain's empire started in the Caribbean and later on in South and Central America. So there would little competition between the two. It would start later on with France and Great Britain similar to other colonial empires like the Dutch and Swedes. Besides the population of Denmark in 1500 was 600,000. Smaller than even the kingdom of Aragon (The secondary kingdom in Spain, Spain's population was 8.5 Million in 1500) Also the settlement of Greenland as a full colonial possession would require open-ocean navigation that would only become available when the new world was being discovered. So the Spanish colonization of the New World and the Danish colonization of Greenland beyond what the Vikings did would happen roughly the same time. Also even with colonies other small European states with colonial empires like the Netherlands,Portugal and Sweden still tended to either lose wars to their larger neighbors at home or abroad or avoid them entirety. For the wars in general there just names of conflicts and some of them would happen eventually regardless of how strong or relevant Denmark is. It would just be more likely they would be involved or be in it more deeply.

    I am thinking to this scenario. If Greenland is green, it could atract more people to settle. At the same time the viking raid would decrease, because some of the vikings will settle in Greenland. Fewer vikings in england. Perheaps england could unite faster.
    I think, that in our timeline, people go for land, so a free land with no big battles could be a better alternative.

      The common enemy in the pagan Norsemen helped unite the Christian Anglo-Saxons, which where at that time split into four kingdoms unite against the common enemy and be united under Wessex rule. But I agree that some of the Danes and Norwegians that went to England eoukd have went for the less defended pastures in Greenland instead.

      Yes, it is the land of the Angles. Learn some history, the originally british were driven out to somewhere in Wales and or Scotland, so the people that came in were germanic Angles and Saxons (yes, from Saxony). So it's "Angleland", or "England" for short.

    Actually, Erik the Red had another reason for naming greenland greenland. You see, before the little ice age that started in the 14th or the 15th century, the climate was a lot warmer than it is now. So warm it was, that parts of Greenland and it''s eastern coast was actually not icy, but green. Yes, he wanted more people to come, but when he first came, he came to a land that though a little colder, was still very much like Iceland. And here he spent his three years in exile.

    If Greenland was one large farmable valley I feel like it would have been of far greater importance and thus attract many more settlers, maybe it could have led to a whole new Greenlandic kingdom or even lead to more Vikings attempting - and succeeding - to settle Vinland.

Europe would have stopped sending people and just kept to round the horn to get to India, perhaps a canal would have happened a lot sooner to cut through Suez. so then the people already living in the ''americas'' could continue to live their 'peace with the land', instead of having to conquer it.

    If Greenland would be green it would be called Iceland because the vikings would have find a piece of ice inside it, and by so we would have 2 icelands.

    1. What if Kentucky became independent in 1792?
    2. How do we post our alternate countries on the Blogspot?
    3. Great Video! Keep the content up!

    Greenland could be like Denmark or Norway if the Gulf Stream split in two and arrived in Greenland, but that would also change the climate of the east coast of Canada, maybe we would have a Canada colonized by Scandinavians and Greenland too.

    There's a good chance the Vikings would trade with inuits if they met on good terms. I don't think Vikings were very concerned about race or religious persecution, so if they met the inuits in a friendly manner, such as inuits bringing gifts to greet the Vikings, it's possible they could form a relationship with each other, and intermarriage may not be unlikely

    Really, it ends with "they just don't starve" and cue the advertising? You could've gone way deeper into this, and it wouldn't require so much time as to take away from your personal writing.

    Without the massive ice sheets, the valley would very likely rebound and might possibly not exist, or be much smaller, in a warmer climate without ice sheets. See the land elevation currently ongoing in Scandinavia. Fun video though! Nice to see vikings getting more love.
