Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark. First documented in the 11th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the beginning of the 15th century and during the 17th century under the reign of Christian IV, it became an important regional center.

Copenhagen in In the Presence of Mine Enemies Edit

Copenhagen saw the arrest of two men carrying anti-German signs in the wake of Führer Heinz Buckliger's reforms in 2010.

Copenhagen in Worldwar Edit

Copenhagen was destroyed by an atomic bomb by the Race's Conquest Fleet in retaliation for Germany's atomic bombing of Alexandria in 1944. Its being chosen as a target indicated the Race leaders' ignorance of the nuances of Tosevite politics and nations; they considred it as just another German city, not really appreciating that until just two years prior to their arrival Copenhagen had been the capital of an independent political entity, and that many of its inhabitants resented being under German occupation. 

Copenhagen in The War That Came Early Edit

Neutral Copenhagen was an attractive destination for foreign civilians stranded in Germany after World War II broke out in 1938, such as Philadelphia native Peggy Druce. There was no war rationing, public illumination worked at night, newspapers published both sides' news from the front and the only way to see soldiers for sure was during the change of the Danish Royal Guard at Amalienborg Palace. Communications with Britain and America remained even after the luxury liner SS Athenia was sunk by an unidentified submarine on her route to Copenhagen in January 1939.

Germany had little trouble occupying Copenhagen when an invasion finally took place in Summer 1939.
