However, the whole country chose not to join the Treaty of Maastricht Alliance Europe, monetary system Europe (EMU), and certain internal affairs.

overview

Denmark is located in the southernmost region of the Nordic countries, southwest of Sweden, south of Norway and bordered by virtue South. Denmark borders both the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, consisting of a large peninsula, Jutland (Jylland) and many islands, the best known being Zealand (Sjælland), Funen (Fyn), Vendsyssel-Thy, Lolland, Falster, Bornholm , and hundreds of islets commonly known as the Danish archipelago. Denmark has long controlled the gateway to the Baltic Sea. Before the Kiel Canal, water entered the Baltic Sea through three straits known as the Denmark Straits.

History

Prehistoric

Archaeological finds in Denmark date from 130,000–110,000 BC during the Eem Ice Age[7]. Humans have lived in Denmark since about 12,500 BC and there is evidence that agriculture has existed since about 3900 BC. The Nordic Bronze Age (1,800–600 BC) in Denmark was marked by grave mounds that left behind numerous archaeological finds, including the lur and the Sun Chariot.

During the pre-Roman Iron Age (500 BC – 1 AD), indigenous groups began to migrate south, although the first Danes arrived in mid-Roman Denmark. Code and the German Iron Age[9], during the Roman Iron Age (AD 1–400).

Prehistory in Denmark is about 15,000 years ago, when inland ice drifted northwards due to a change in climate. Reindeer hunters (the large horned deer, scientific name Rangifer tarandus) lived here, then came people who hunted other animals and fishers through the heavens. millennium.

About 6,000 years ago began the Stone Age of hunters, gradually replaced by the Stone Age of the peasants, then the Bronze Age, then the Iron Age.

Right at the end of the Iron Age, around the 8th century, there existed a strong central government, as evidenced by the Dannevirke work consisting of a 14 km long rampart system south of the border. Denmark - Germany is now about 40 km, near the viking city of Hedeby (German: Haithabu), the Slien region near Schleswig. In addition, in the Iron Age, there was a system of canals across Sams island about 500 m long and 11 m wide for ships to circulate, at that time used as a part of a naval base to protect the city of Aarhus, called Aarhus. Kanhavekanalen.

medieval

The Ladby, the largest Viking ship found off the coast of Denmark. Dybboel Windmill Prehistoric times ended in Viking times, when Danish Vikings began to trade and plunder in much of Europe.

Thanks to two runestone steles at Jelling (south of Jylland peninsula, small one erected by old Gorm around 955, large one erected by Blue-tooth Harald around 965), we know that the first king of Jylland peninsula was Old Gorm Gorm den Gamle and father of Harald Blauzahn (Blue tooth Harald), who later unified Denmark in 980. The two steles mentioned above are considered "Danish Birth Certificates".

Until the 11th century, the Danes were still considered Vikings, a people who owned many colonies and dominated trade across Europe. The Vikings also often looted and waged war. They began to claim the so-called Danegæld (debt to the Danes) whereby the English kings had to pay taxes to the Danish king, in order not to be plundered, because they had a very strong fleet.

Early modern

Many times in its history Denmark has gained control of Great Britain, Norway, Sweden and a large part of the Baltic coast, as well as northern Germany. The region of Skåne (the southern part of present-day Sweden) also belonged to Denmark for a long time before handing it over to Sweden after the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. Union of Denmark-Norway (1380-1814) ended in 1814 with the annexation of Norway to Sweden (until 1905). Only Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland (until 1944) and the Denmark-West Indies (until 1917) remain under Danish ownership.

The Danish nationalist movement and democrats began to gain influence in the 1830s. After the European revolution of 1848, the Danish constitutional monarchy was established: the first constitution was drafted. beautiful.

After its defeat in the Prussian-Danish War of 1864, Denmark was forced to cut the Schleswig-Holstein region to Prussia. Since this defeat Denmark has maintained a staunchly neutral stance in the country's foreign policy until after World War I.

20th century to present

A group of Danish soldiers on the morning when the German invasion of Denmark began, April 9, 1940. After World War I the Danish-German border was re-established, this time in retreat. southern. In 1920 it was officially identified and exists to this day: northern Schleswig returned to Denmark. The frequent changing of borders led to the existence of two minority populations on both sides: Germans in southern Denmark and Danes in northern Germany.

From 9 April 1940 until the end of World War II Denmark was under German occupation. The Danish people's revolt against the Holocaust became typical. In October 1943 the Jews in Denmark were rescued by the Danish people.

After the war, Denmark became a member of NATO. In 1973 the kingdom was the first Nordic country to become a member of the European Community, now the European Union, after a referendum.

In 1989, Denmark became the first country in the world to pass a law allowing homosexuals to live together.

After the 1992 referendum, the Danes opposed the ratification of the Maastricht treaty (Treaty of 7 February 1992, establishing the European Union of 12 member states of the European Economic Community). , but accepted it in 1993. In the 2000 referendum, Denmark refused to circulate the euro.

Geography

Scandinavian country with an area of ​​43,000 km², a third of which is the area of ​​443 large and small islands. The two largest islands are Zealand (Sjælland) – about 7,000 square kilometers and Funen (Fyn) – about 3,000 square kilometers. The coastline is 7,314 km long. The terrain of Denmark is quite flat, with the highest point less than 171 m above sea level.

The peninsula of Jutland (Jylland) forms the mainland part of Denmark. It stretches over 300 km from the border with virtue. Sand dunes, puddles, and mudflats protect the peninsula's west coast from violent storms from beyond the North Sea. 443 islands, large and small, are concentrated mainly in the Baltic Sea, just off the west coast of Jutland. Only 76 of these are inhabited. The average height of Denmark above sea level is 30 m.

Large chunks of ice from the Ice Age formed what is now Denmark. An ancient belt of ice divides the eastern and western parts of Jutland.

The largest inland fjord, Limfjorden, runs across the northern part of the peninsula towards Cape Skagen. To the east of Jutland is the Lillebælt Strait separating the island of Funen (Fyn) from the mainland. Southeast Funen has a bridge system with the small island of Langeland. To the east is the island of Zealand (Sjælland), separated from Funen by the Storebælt Strait. On the eastern shore of this island we will find the capital Copenhagen (København). Far to the east is a granite island called Bornholm.

On the island of Greenland (Grønland) there are more than 55,000 inhabitants, 48,000 of whom are Inuit minorities. The capital of Greenland is Nuuk. Since 1380 the island has been a Danish colony, since 1953 it has been an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Satellite image of Denmark The Faroe Islands (Farøerne) (capital: Tórshavn, area 1,399 km², 44,800 inhabitants) was a colony of Norway from 1035 to 1814. This archipelago has a mild, pleasant climate. mainly due to the influence of the Gulf current.

Politic

The Basic Law - also known as the constitutional law - of the Kingdom of Denmark (Danmarks Riges Grundlov) was approved by King Frederik VII.IDEA promulgated on June 5, 1849. This law transformed Denmark from a one-ruler kingdom (enevælde) to a constitutional monarchy with a separation of powers. Legislative power is in the hands of the National Assembly (Folketinget), executive power is taken up by the government, and judicial power is independent. The head of the country (who plays only a symbolic role) is the king or queen. The current head of the kingdom is Queen Margrethe II. This basic law has undergone three amendments: the first in 1866, the second in 1915 (allowing women to stand and vote). and for the third time in 1953 Denmark followed a constitutional monarchy and a multi-party political system, the head of state was the Queen. The Queen is only ceremonial, with no political power. Political power belongs to the executive branch (the Government), headed by the Prime Minister. Since 1953, the Danish Parliament abolished the division of the National Assembly into the Senate and the House of Representatives (since the two houses now have powers. are the same so it is difficult to distinguish) and under a unicameral system with 179 MPs (of which 2 are reserved for Greenland and 2 are for the Faroe Islands), directly elected for a term of 4 year.The distinguishing feature of the political system in Denmark is a union democracy. Since 1909, no party has won an absolute majority in an election; mostly a single party minority government or a 2-3 party coalition government. Since the 1980s, parliament has always been represented by at least seven parties. The Danish Parliament (Folketinget) holds legislative power, consists of 179 deputies and is elected every four years. Of the 179 members of parliament, there are two from Greenland and two from the Faroe Islands.

Language

Ngôn ngữ quốc gia của Đan Mạch là tiếng Đan Mạch, một thành viên của nhánh gốc Đức của nhóm ngôn ngữ Ấn-Âu, và trong đó gia đình, một phần của miền Bắc Đức, nhóm Đông Bắc Âu. Đó là, trong lý thuyết, rất giống với tiếng Na Uy Uy và cũng với tiếng Thụy Điển, và ở một mức độ hiểu đối với những người nói những ngôn ngữ, đặc biệt là bằng văn bản. Tuy nhiên âm thanh của nó bị ảnh hưởng hơn bởi ngôn ngữ giọng cổ Đức, chứ không phải là ngôn ngữ du dương tìm thấy ở phía bắc và sự hiểu biết nói Đan Mạch có thể là một dấu vết khó khăn hơn cho những người chỉ nói tiếng Thụy Điển hay Na Uy. Nó cũng là xa hơn liên quan đến Iceland và Faroe, mặc dù nói Đan Mạch là không hiểu lẫn nhau với các thứ tiếng.

Tiếng Anh được sử dụng rộng rãi trong Đan Mạch (gần 90% dân số có thể nói tiếng Anh, làm cho Đan Mạch là một trong những quốc gia thành thạo tiếng Anh nhất trên hành tinh mà tiếng Anh không phải là ngôn ngữ chính thức), và nhiều người Đan Mạch có có trình độ tiếng Anh gần như dân bản địa. Học sinh Đan Mạch bắt đầu học tiếng Anh trong lớp ba, Học tiếng Anh và thường xuyên tiếp tục cho đến khi học sinh hoàn thành trung học, và nhiều khóa học đại học của Đan Mạch được hoàn toàn hoặc một phần dạy bằng tiếng Anh. Về vấn đề này, nó là giá trị lưu ý rằng Đan Mạch có lẽ là một trong rất ít quốc gia trên thế giới mà, như một người nước ngoài, bạn không nhận được điểm thêm cho cố gắng để nói tiếng mẹ đẻ, và người Đan Mạch nói chung có rất ít kiên nhẫn với những người nói tiếng Đan Mạch không thông thạo. Vì vậy, ngoại trừ một vài từ như Tak (cảm ơn bạn) hoặc Undskyld (xin lỗi), bạn chỉ nên nói tiếng Anh thôi thay vì cố nói tiếng Đan Mạch.

When should I go?

Tuy ở Bắc Âu, nhưng nhờ dòng hải lưu nóng chảy gần, nên Đan Mạch có khí hậu ôn hòa và dễ chịu. Vào mùa hè nhiệt độ cũng chỉ khoảng 20 độ C và giảm đáng kể khi đêm xuống. Vào mùa đông thì nhiệt độ giảm xuống còn khoảng 0 độ C. Tuy có mưa quanh năm nhưng lượng mưa cũng chỉ ở mức vừa phải. Nhìn chúng nếu bạn có thể chịu được cái lạnh của mùa đông thì khí hậu ở Đan Mạch sẽ không làm cho bạn cảm thấy khó chịu khi đi du lịch ở nơi này.

Cuối tháng 6 cho đến tháng 8 là mùa của những lễ hội ở Đan Mạch. Vào thời điểm này có nhiều lễ hội lớn được diễn ra như Roskilde, một lễ hội đường phố và tắm nắng ở trên bãi biển. Những viện bảo tàng sẽ mở cửa xuyên suốt để phục vụ du khách trong suốt thời điểm này. Bên cạnh đó còn có nhiều điều thú vị khác như các khách sạn thường giảm giá phòng cho du khách đến đây. Tuy nhiên cũng chính vì như vậy mà vào thời điểm từ cuối tháng 6 đến tháng 8 này có rất đông du khách đến đây. Có thể bạn sẽ cảm thấy ngột ngạt và khó chịu. Nếu như thế thì bạn nên đến đây từ cuối tháng 8 trở đi vì lúc này học sinh bắt đầu trở lại trường học. Bạn sẽ có thể tận hưởng được không khí mùa hè nhưng không phải chịu cảnh đông đúc, chật chội.

Từ tháng 5 cho đến đầu tháng 6 là thời điểm thú vị để bạn làm một chuyến du lịch đến Đan Mạch. Nhiệt độ lúc này khá ấm áp, dễ chịu. Và hơn hết bạn sẽ tránh được thời điểm đông du khách nhất. Vào mùa thu cũng khá dễ chịu tuy nhiên cảnh vật không phải ở đâu cũng đẹp. Ở vùng nông thôn hầu hết đều mang màu nâu sẫm. Mùa đông ở Đan Mạch thì rất lạnh, đêm dài hơn ngày. Chính vì vậy mà du khách ít đến đây vào thời điềm này. Nhiều điểm du lịch đóng cửa vào tháng 10 cho đến tận cuối tháng 4.

Visit

Gần phố Stroget là công viên Tivoli rộng 82.000m2, được xây dựng từ năm 1843, là niềm tự hào của người dân Copenhagen.

Tivoli là một công viên giải trí và cũng là một vườn hoa rực rỡ. Ban đêm, vườn hoa này được chiếu sáng bởi 100.000 bóng đèn màu. Tivoli có đủ các kiểu kiến trúc, các trò giải trí cho trẻ em và cả người lớn. Có những chiếc đu quay kiểu cổ điển, những nhà hàng dành cho gia đình và các quán ăn đặc biệt phục vụ khách sành ăn.
