Denmark Travel Guide Home Denmark Guide Danish Culture Danish People ... Denmark Trains Denmark History To the beginning 1830х years the Danish society is woken by revolutionary changes in culture, philosophy, the literature and art. Democratic movement has led to acceptance on June, 5th, 1849 to the constitution which has proclaimed Denmark a constitutional monarchy. The population of a province of Shlezvig in the south of Jutland has risen against the new constitution and the province has passed under the conduct of Germany. During the post-war period under the direction of Social democrats in Denmark the social society was under construction. As a result now each citizen of Denmark from a birth to death is surrounded by the valid care of the state and has all social guarantees. As a result – they have the guarded relation of Danes to incorporated Europe. Denmark has entered EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY in 1973, however in 1992 Danes on a referendum have rejected (51 % against) ratification of the Maastricht contract. Only after an exception of obligatory positions about the general defensive policy and uniform currency Danes have accepted the contract on a repeated referendum in May 1993. In September, 2000 Denmark has refused to pass to Euro, motivating it with the fact that delegation of power in carrying out  the monetary policy to all-European structures can damage the system of social guarantees for Danish citizens. Today, Denmark is an active player on the international political scene.

Denmark - History - The Viking Age Denmark History 6.2 The Viking Age [Main menu] [Previous paragraph] [Next paragraph] Throughout its early history, Denmark had many contacts with the outside world, but with the beginning of the Viking Age, c. 800 AD, the country really became part of European history. The Danes became most notorious as the Vikings who plundered churches and monasteries, but behind this rather one-sided picture there lies a far more complex interplay of political and cultural factors. The Unification of the Country and Royal Power As early as 700, Denmark was ruled by a stronger royal power than had existed before; a king named Angantyr (Ongendus) can probably be linked to Ribe where a regulated seasonal trading centre was established just after 700. Around 700, the Merovingian domination crumbled and the outlying provinces of the Frankish empire gained their independence. This paved the way for a Danish display of power in the southern parts of the North Sea area with Saxony and Friesland, and Ribe became Denmark's first international trading centre. When Charlemagne and the Carolingians attempted to re-establish the power of the Franks around 800, it resulted in clashes with the Danes under Godfred; he would neither relinquish his power in Friesland and amongst the Abodrites, nor renounce the tributary income which he had obtained during the weakness of the Merovingians. In order to safeguard this income, he moved the traders from the Abodrite area to Hedeby, a town he had recently established in what is now North Germany, and fortified Denmark's southern border with a new rampart. Godfred's battles with Charlemagne were not just simple poaching on his preserves, but clashes between two empire builders.

Denmark: History of the Flag Last modified: by rob raeside Keywords: denmark state ensign crown training ship Links: FOTW homepage search write us mirrors ... Original Flag, based on an illustration Introduction Among the independent nations recognised by the UN, the Danish flag is generally considered as the oldest continuously used national flag in the world. Regions, counts, kings and the like have had flags or banners older than Dannebrog, but no sovereign nation has used the same flag as long as Denmark. Dennis Nielsen, 18 April 2001 Legend relates that the Dannebrog fell from the skies on 15 June 1219 , the day in which King Waldemar II defeated the Estonians in battle. The cross represents, unsurprisingly, Christianity. Legend aside, there is a small controversy around the idea that the design was linked somehow to an ensign of the Holy Roman Empire. A white cross on a red background was used by the Empire in many of its provinces. A problem with this hypothesis exists in the fact that Denmark was never a province of the Holy Roman Empire. This question remains unresolved. The Danish flag has changed its proportions over the years. The 'splitflag' was first specified in 1696 and changed in 1856, while the square-ended flag was first specified in 1748, and changed in 1893. But none of these changes really altered its essential character.
