Danois (nation)

Danes (danskere, ˈtænskɐɐ) are an ethnic group and nationality native to Denmark and a modern nation identified with the country of Denmark. This connection may be ancestral, legal, historical, or cultural. Danes generally regard themselves as a nationality and reserve the word "ethnic" for the description of recent immigrants, sometimes referred to as "new Danes". The contemporary Danish national identity is based on the idea of "Danishness", which is founded on principles formed through historical cultural connections and is typically not based on racial heritage. History of Denmark Denmark has been inhabited by various Germanic peoples since ancient times, including the Angles, Cimbri, Jutes, Herules, Teutones and others. The first mentions of "Danes" are recorded in the mid-6th century by historians Procopius (δάνοι) and Jordanes (danī), who both refer to a tribe related to the Suetidi inhabiting the peninsula of Jutland, the province of Scania and the isles in between. Frankish annalists of the 8th century often refer to Danish kings. The Bobbio Orosius from the early 7th century distinguishes between South Danes inhabiting Jutland and North Danes inhabiting the isles and the province of Scania. The first mention of Danes within Denmark is on the Jelling Rune Stone, which mentions the conversion of the Danes to Christianity by Harald Bluetooth in the 10th century. Between c. 960 and the early 980s, Bluetooth established a kingdom in the lands of the Danes, stretching from Jutland to Scania. Around the same time, he received a visit from a German missionary who, by surviving an ordeal by fire according to legend, convinced Harold to convert to Christianity. The following years saw the Danish Viking expansion, which incorporated Norway and England into the Danish North Sea Empire. After the death of Canute the Great in 1035, England broke away from Danish control. Canute's nephew Sweyn Estridson (1020–74) re-established strong royal Danish authority and built a good relationship with the archbishop of Bremen, at that time the archbishop of all Scandinavia.

Démographie du Groenland

This is a demography of the population of Greenland including population density, ethnicity, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. the resident population of Greenland was estimated at 56,562, an increase of 141 (0.25%) compared to the corresponding figure the previous year.

Les îles Féroé (Føroyar, ; Færøerne, ) sont l'un des trois pays constitutifs du royaume de Danemark, avec le Danemark propre et le Groenland. Ce territoire est composé de l'archipel subarctique des Féroé situé dans l'océan Atlantique Nord, non loin de la mer de Norvège, cette dernière baignant l'île de Fugloy uniquement par son cap nord-est. Les pointes septentrionales des îles de Streymoy et Eysturoy sont à peu près équidistantes de l'Écosse et de l'Islande. L'archipel a une superficie de et compte, en 2023, , appelés Féroïens.
