 | | Denmark-Norway reasserted its latent claim to the colony in 1721. | | | Norway occupied and claimed parts of (then uninhabited) Eastern Greenland in the 1920s, claiming that it constituted Terra nullius. | | | An Arctic island nation located in the continent of North America, both geographically and ethnically; politically and historically, however, Greenland is closely associated with Europe. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Greenland |
| | Although Greenland, like the adjacent islands, is subject to the jurisdiction of the Vicar Apostolic of Copenhagen, all missionary activity has been suspended. | | | Since then decay has set in, ascribed variously to differences of opinion among the brethren, millennarian tendencies among the neophytes, and friction with the Lutheran ministers of the established Church. | | | The Danish Kings, who, as sovereigns of Norway, claimed Greenland, also sent expeditions there, the most successful of which was that of Dannels (1652-54). |

| | Greenland (Denmark) |
| | Greenland has been semi-autonomous since 1979, but Denmark remains in charge of foreign and defence policy for the 56,000 islanders. | | | The two governing parties are the left-leaning Siumut party and Inuit Atagatigiit (Inuit Brotherhood) who between them hold 18 out of 31 seats in the parliament. | | | This inspired other people to put forward their own designs, and in 1974 a Greenland paper published 11 proposals. |

| | Greenland!! |
| | The center of his area is Ammassalik, (or as it is lately being known, Tasiilaq). | | | This has left its mark in the East Greenland dialect and the old culture that has felt little influence by outside forces. | | | Because of its geographical location this area is, and always has been, relatively isolated in from the rest of Greenland (and, as one might guess, from the rest of the world). |
