 DenmarkOccupied Denmark Saves Its JewsIn 1940, Denmark was invaded by the Nazis. King
Christian X reluctantly cautioned his fellow Danes to accept the
occupation, but there was widespread resistance. Denmark
was the only occupied country in World War II to save all its Jews from
extermination by smuggling them out of the country.
Beginning in 1944, Denmark's relationship with
its territories changed substantially. In that year, Iceland declared its
independence from Denmark, ending a union that had existed since 1380. In
1948, the Faroe Islands, which had also belonged to Denmark since 1380,
were granted home rule, and in 1953, Greenland officially became a
territory of Denmark.
