The Danes (as [[UsefulNotes/TheVikingAge the Vikings]] were usually known at the time) struck terror into much of Northern Europe from the 9th to the 11th centuries.

The Danish kings even managed to grab hold of the throne of all England from 1016 through 1042 (the Danish king who managed it, known in English as "Canute" and in Danish as "Knud", is one of only two monarchs in each country to get the epithet "[[TheMagnificent the Great]]"[[note]]For reference, the other Danish "Great" is Valdemar I, who reigned in the 12th century, while the other English/British "Great" is of course UsefulNotes/AlfredTheGreat, who reigned about 150 years before Canute/Knud.[[/note]]). Since then, however, Denmark has generally been content to trade peacefully, barring the odd scuffle with their neighbor and nemesis, Sweden[[note]]there have been 11 Dano-Swedish wars between 1521 and 1814[[/note]]. For a while during the 15th century, the Union of Kalmar united Denmark, UsefulNotes/{{Norway}} and Sweden under one king, but it couldn't last. Sweden left and Norway decided to join Denmark properly.
More wars with Sweden followed, with Denmark-Norway losing more than winning, leading Sweden to graudually chip away at their territory, most importantly annexing the the Skåne/Scandia area from Denmark. Denmark's defeats caused the Danish nobility, the supposed defenders of the realm, to gradually lose their popularity and political standing. Eventually in 1660, after yet another lost war to Sweden, the Danish state was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and trust in the nobility had bottomed out with both the Danish burghers and the clergy. Leveraging their increased power in the Danish society, they decided to strike a deal with King Frederik III, to have their privileges expanded, in exchange for the nobility having theirs curtailed, and their support for reforming the government into an absolute monarchy, modelled somewhat after the French King UsefulNotes/LouisXIV's own absolutist reformation of the Kingdom of France, where the king was the ultimate head of the state, and the inheritance of the crown to the king's oldest son was uncontested[[note]]Up until this point, any prospective King of Denmark could not be crowned without the approval of Rigsrådet (the Council of the Realm), a gathering of the most powerful Danish nobles, who would usually impose a so-called "Håndfæstning" upon the king-to-be, an signed agreement in which the monarch would give several concessions to the nobility, before he could ascend the throne with their blessing. The new agreement did completely away with both Rigsrådet and Håndfæstningen as institutions[[/note]]. The agreement was eventually ratified in the King's Law of 1665, thereby making Denmark the only European kingdom where the absolute monarchy was enshrined in a constitutional document.
Denmark, headed by their subsequent kings, would from here on out attempt to navigate a path of relative neutrality in European politics. Denmark enjoyed a prolonged time of peace as a result, but this period came crashing down with UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars. King Frederik VI had attempted to stay in a state of armed neutrality alongside Sweden and Russia, but he ended up being forced to decide much of Denmark's future fate when the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom posed an impossible ultimatum: the full surrender of the Danish fleet into the hands of the British. Frederik VI rejected this ultimatum, and had, as such, no real option than to throw his lot in with UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte and the French side. This resulted in two major humiliations for Danish military power. The first was Slaget på Reden/The Battle of Copenhagen in April 1801 where the English fleet, under the command of UsefulNotes/HoratioNelson, delivered a crushing defeat to the Danish fleet, [[ShockingDefeatLegacy which up until then been the undefeated pride of the nation]]. The second was when the English fleet would return to Danish waters in the late summer of 1807, where it proceeded to bomb the city of Copenhagen itself. This is generally considered the first recorded historical instance of a state-sanctioned terror bombardment against a civilian population. With Napoleon and the French Empire's ultimate defeat, Denmark would ultimately end on the losing side, and as a result Norway was ceded to Sweden in 1814.

Denmark, headed by their subsequent kings, would from hereon out attempt to navigate a path of relative neutrality in European politics. Denmark enjoyed a prolonged time of peace as a result, but this period came crashing down with UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars. King Frederik VI had attempted to stay in a state of armed neutrality alongside Sweden and Russia, but he ended up being forced to decide much of Denmark's future fate when the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom posed an impossible ultimatum: the full surrender of the Danish fleet into the hands of the British. Frederik VI rejected this ultimatum, and had, as such, no real option than to throw his lot in with UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte and the French side. This resulted in two major humiliations for Danish military power. The first was Slaget på Reden/The Battle of Copenhagen in April 1801 where the English fleet, under the command of UsefulNotes/HoratioNelson, delivered a crushing defeat to the Danish fleet, [[ShockingDefeatLegacy which up until then been the undefeated pride of the nation]]. The second was when the English fleet would return to Danish waters in the late-summer of 1807, where it proceeded to bomb the city of Copenhagen itself This is generally considered the first recorded historical instance of a state-sanctioned terror bombardment against a civilian population. With Napoleon and the French Empire's ultimate defeat, Denmark would ultimately end on the losing side, and as a result Norway was ceded to Sweden in 1814.
The modern Danish state was born in 1848, as a part of the liberal revolutions that swept through Europe at the time, though in Denmark it happened through a VelvetRevolution. Hoping to avoid the violent revolutions that had rocked much of Europe, the recently-crowned Frederick VII met in March with representatives from the Danish national-liberal movement and made an agreement to peacefully end the absolute monarchy. This agreement was eventually ratified through the formal signing of a constitution on 5 June, 1849, reforming the Danish state into a constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected parliament, and a substantial list of constitutionally guaranteed civil rights, chiefly freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of association.
