EXPLAINER: Why is Greenland a part of the Danish Kingdom?
Briefly

Greenland is one of three territories in the Danish Kingdom, not part of Denmark, and has enjoyed autonomous status since 2009, allowing significant self-governance.
The 2009 law expanded Greenland's independence rights, granting control over domestic areas and recognizing the Greenlandic people as a nation under international law.
Despite its autonomy since 1979, Greenland still relies on Denmark for judicial, monetary, defense, and foreign affairs, lacking its own currency and constitution.
The Danish colonization of Greenland began in the 18th century with Hans Egede's arrival, leading to a transformation of the local Inuit culture and societal structure.
