Denmark is one of Europe's smallest countries, located at the top of the European continent (Map). Denmark's only border is with Germany, and is 43 miles long. In contrast, Denmark's coast line is 4571 miles long, meaning that the ocean has always been an important part of Danish history.
The Vikings
The best known Danes are, of course, the Vikings. The Vikings lived in Denmark, Norway and Sweden between AD 700 and 1050. Most archeological sites are found in modern-day Denmark.
It is true that Vikings plundered at will, and monasteries were prime targets. However, most were actually farmers going west, looking for arable land. The Vikings developed ocean-going longboats and built up a relatively large empire, which included Scandinavia, most of the British Isles, Iceland, Greenland, and parts of Canada.
