1835: Greenland Gambit
Greenland Annexation Theories and Danish Eugenics History
Speculation regarding the annexation of Greenland includes control over shipping lanes in the GIUK gap and historical grievances against Danish rule. Reports highlight a systemic discrimination scandal involving the forced sterilization of thousands of Greenlandic women and girls by Denmark up until 1992. This history of eugenics is cited as a reason for local resentment toward Danish administration and potential openness to US involvement.
