Greenland, officially called Kalaallit Nunaat, is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is the largest island on Earth. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe. From the 11th through 14th centuries, it was a colony of Norway.

Greenland in Southern Victory[]

Greenland was home to both American and British weather stations. Military garrisons guarding these stations frequently engaged in small skirmishes during the Second Great War.

Greenland in The Two Georges[]

Greenland was part of Denmark's modest empire. At its northwestern tip, it was only a short sail from Hudsonia, the northernmost province of the North American Union.[1]

Greenland in Worldwar[]

A former Danish colony, Greenland's ties to Denmark were severed when Denmark was conquered by Germany in 1940 during World War II. The Allied Forces occupied Greenland during the war and the subsequent war against the Race's Conquest Fleet. After the war, under the terms of the Peace of Cairo in 1944, with the Danish government defunct when its territory was absorbed into the Greater German Reich, Greenland was given to joint American-Canadian administration.
