Donald Trump has ordered his special forces commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland - but is being resisted by senior military figures, The Mail on Sunday has learned.
The boat 500 years ago were the inuit I think that’s the time there were first traces of contact between inuit tribes and Norse settlers (who had lived there since around year 1000?)
Its really embarrassing but I’ve never been big on the history of Greenland. I know it has a lot of cases of “a group of people show up, make a living for a few centuries and then climate change makes that unfeasible so they leave again”
The first Norse settlers arrived in 986. Between 1350 and 1500 the settlements were abandoned for reasons that are still unknown.
There was no continuity between the Norse settlers and modern Danish colonialism but because the settlers were Norwegian the Norwegian, and later Danish, kings mainatned a claim on Greenland. Denmark. When Denmark lost Norway to Sweden in 1814 the Danes were allowed to keep Norway’s North Atlantic possessions, including Greenland, as a consolation prize.
That makes way more sense! Did the inuit live on Greenland continuously or did they come and go too? I’ve heard, mainly chuds, some people talk about the inuit only arriving recently.
