About this holiday
The historical consideration of US acquisition of Greenland from Denmark has occurred repeatedly (e.g., 1867, 1910, 1946, 1955). Although US recognition of Danish sovereignty was formalized in 1916 (citing the Treaty of the Danish West Indies), discussions regarding acquisition have persisted, including recent proposals by political figures. Greenland currently operates within the NATO framework, which includes both Denmark and the US.
