1721: Danish missionary Hans Egede arrives, marking the start of formal Danish colonization and the spread of Christianity.
1940-1945 (WWII): Denmark is occupied by Germany; the U.S. occupies Greenland to defend it, establishing military bases.
1953: Greenland becomes an integral part of Denmark, not a colony, under the Danish Constitution.
1979: Denmark grants Greenland Home Rule, establishing self-governance.
2009: Self-rule is expanded, giving Greenland control over most internal affairs, including natural resources, solidifying its status as a self-governed nation within the Kingdom of Denmark.
Today: Greenland manages its own affairs but relies on Danish financial support and maintains close ties within the Kingdom, while facing challenges like climate change.
