todays video is Shows why is Greenland so important
so Greenland is important because due to global warming Greenland's ice is melting and this would make it a lot more Habitable for humans
secondly Greenland is located on this shipping route called the northwest passage which is very important

@@lawtraf8008 the population is very small, about 56.000 people. For comparison the American state of Wyoming has a population more than 10x larger, and Wyoming is the least populated state in the USA. Society in Greenland is from what I have heard fairly modern and people have free education and internet and stuff. But due to the rough terrain, cold temperatures and geographic isolation no one really drives cars or anything and people live in small houses in small isolated towns. There isn't much to do in Greenland so many people go to Denmark for a future with more oppurtunity. Sadly suicide rates in Greenland have been very high, which is probably because of the lack of a future many people in Greenland have and because of how Greenlandic traditional culture of whaling and hunting has been largely neglected which we Danes are guilty of😕

They can be independent if they say so. Denmark has no control over that. Greenland pretty much controls themselves. It wouldn't be a good idea though, because they're only about 56.000 people there and they couldn't possibly defend themselves against USA or another country who will try to take over Greenland instantly. Now, they get money from Denmark, they're free to have their own culture and language, they get resources they don't have themselves imported from Denmark and they're protected by NATO. I understand why they want to be independent, but they have a lot of benefits being a part of the Danish kingdom.

@@kalmarunions2115 on the paper yes, USA cant do it. But in real life the US actually controls politically and economically 80% of the NATO countries, and the government of little Denmark is almost completely subordinate to the US government. The US does not need to attack directly, it is enough to put pressure on and force little Denmark to give up Greenland. Of course, it will look like a purchase of Greenland, but a forced purchase.

I honestly wish America was more colonial. We could’ve had countries like Green land, more of Mexico, Cuba, the Caribbean islands, even the Philippines. We probably could’ve token Japan, instead of dropping bombs in it. Then maybe the development of nuclear weapons wouldn’t happen so quickly, then the Cold War wouldn’t be a huge deal, the space race could’ve been much safer with out nuclear weapons blowing holes into the atmosphere and the Vietnam war probably wouldn’t end in such a disaster if we actually held the sections of land we fought for in that war. Also with the Philippines, transportation of troops and supplies would be much easier. Think about it, America could’ve become a great and success superpower.
