	Danish colonial empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The only remaining vestige of this empire, and its only ever substantial territory, is that of Greenland, whose colonial status ceased in 1953, and is now an autonomous region of the Danish state.
		Denmark maintained a scattering of small colonies and trading posts throughout the Indian sub-continent and Ceylon from the 17th to 19th centuries, after which most were sold or ceded to Britain which had become the dominant power there.
		The colony at Trankebar was kept for over 200 years, with a few interruptions, until it was sold to the British in 1845.

		The question of colonial defence was among the most important of the subjects discussed at the colonial conference held in London in 1887, and it was at this conference that the Australasian colonies first agreed to contribute to the expense of their own naval defence.
		The manner in which these colonial contingents were raised, their admirable fighting qualities, and the service rendered by them in the field, disclosed altogether new possibilities of military organization within the empire, and in subsequent years the subject continued to engage the attention of the statesmen of the empire.

		In an important 1997 study commissioned by the Danish government, years of U.S. pressure to gain these rights were described as "a classic clash between a great power and a small state." Denmark had legal arguments on its side but lacked the political and military power to prevail.

	Brief History of Empires Earth
		Allied with the vengeful Austrian Empire was the French Empire, and the states of south Germany and Italy, all of which feared that the successful unification of Germany under Prussia would lead to their gradual decline.
		The British Empire and the United States fought a naval war in 1888-89 that led to the establishment of New England as a British Dominion and the annexation of the southern half of Upper Canada to the Union.
		The condemnation of colonial policies by alterworld liberals and socialists contributed to this, but probably more important was the belief, on the part of the leaderships of the world empires and the Congress of Strasbourg itself, that Empires was entirely self-sufficient.

		Land-based empires (such as Russia or the Soviet Union) tend to extend in a contiguous area; sea-borne empires (thalassocracy is a fancy name: the Athenian or British empires provide examples) may feature looser structures and more scattered territories.
		The modern term "empire" derives from the Latin imperium, a word coined in what became possibly the most famous example of this sort of political structure, the Roman Empire founded in 31 BC.
		An Emperor-based empire can readily become (say) a republic by means of a coup (Brazil, 1889, Central African Empire, (1979)); or it can become a republic with its dominions reduced to a core territory (Germany (1918 - 1919), Ottoman Empire (1918 - 1923)).

		An empire comprises a region or a set of regions ruled by an emperor or, by extension, any large, multi-ethnic state which maintains its political structure by coercion.
		For many centuries, the term "Empire" applied exclusively to states which considered themselves to be successors to the Roman Empire, such as the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, or the Russian Empire.
		Many ancient empires maintained control of their subject peoples by controlling the supply of a vital resource, usually water; historians refer to such régimes as "hydraulic empires." The introduction of a common religion also often strengthened empires, as occurred (pace Edward Gibbon) with the adoption of Christianity under Constantine I of the Roman Empire.

		The islands remained Danish, however, because in these years the tropical nature showed itself from its menacing side, as the islands were hit by a violent hurricane with ensuing earthquakes; moreover, towards the end of Garde's visit, an epidemic of yellow fever broke out, which claimed several victims among the crew of the Dagmar.
		To a number of people, the Oldenborg empire was more than a far-flung and scattered conglomerate of countries, provinces, factories and colonies: it was a universe, a Lebenswelt, where merchants, sailors, administrators, and adventurers moved, acted, lived, and played their various roles.

		At the time of Poul Hansen Korsør's death, in 1655, the colony's Danish population was very small, and the man chosen to succeed him was a commoner, chief gunner Eskild Andersen Kongsbakke, a man of commoner stock from Halland (in present-day Sweden).
		The Danish expedition on the Færø had also carried an emissary to the nayak of Tanjore, and the peace that Kongsbakke had agreed upon was ratified in the form of a new decree, expanding the Danish colony with three more villages in the environs of Trankebar.

	FRANCIA
		The "Empire" came to be regarded as consisting of four crowns: (1) East Francia, or Germany, (2) Lombardy (the "Iron Crown"), or Italy, (3) Rome, and, after 1032, (4) Burgundy.
		As neat halves of Charlemange's empire eventually formed, France in the West and Germany in the East, the stage for the greatest battles of modern war in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries would be set along the seam, from Nieuwpoort (1600) to Ramillies (1706), Waterloo (1815), Verdun (1916), and the Bulge (1944).
		Looking backwards and forwards from this point, the French colonial Empire went through two major phases, the original expansion of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the conquests of the 19th century.
