Like Greenland, the Faroe Islands are Danish overseas territories with a great deal of autonomy. In fact, Greenland and the Faroe Islands belonged to Norway at first, but later Norway, Sweden and Denmark formed the Kalmar Union, which was unified by the Danish king. It can be said that Greenland and the Faroe Islands were the dowry brought by Norway, giving Denmark two valuable overseas territories. Despite the twists and turns since, the Faroe Islands have always been firmly held by Denmark.
One of the interesting things about the Faroe Islands is the use of rams as a national symbol, rather than the regular lion or eagle. As for the origin of the Faroese, it is closely linked to Scandinavia and is descended from the Vikings who came to colonize here around 800 AD. In addition, the Faroe Islands were administered by the Scots for a while before they were ruled by Norway, but eventually fell into the hands of the Danes.
The Faroe Islands are located in a good location, between Norway and Iceland, which is also the lucky thing for the small country of Denmark to have such a privileged territory. #Historical Trivia # #Europe# #头条创作挑战赛 #
