Danish overseas colonies

1537–1953 colonies of Denmark–Norway and Denmark

Danish overseas colonies and Dano-Norwegian colonies (Danish: De danske kolonier) were the colonies that Denmark–Norway (Denmark after 1814) possessed from 1537 until 1953. At its apex, the colonies spanned four continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. The period of colonial expansion marked a rise in the status and power of Danes and Norwegians in the Kalmar Union.
