Its name – Green Land – comes from Icelandic, later Norwegian, which in the eighth century of our Common Era, and later in the age of Sag (X century AD) was called Viking. present Viking is simply a word of indifferentity, but in the past it meant "pirat", "murderer" and came from the noun vik – port. For more information, see The Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition, XIV Volume, p. 547, which prof. Norman Davies considers – and stresses this repeatedly – to be reliable. I have its first released by Cambridge University Press 110 years ago.
The name was given to the island in the 10th century C.E. Norwegian Viking (maritime robber) Eric Rudy after 3 years on her. He wanted to encourage future residents to usage it as a colony. The name contrary to the ice scenery was expected to make a good impression on them. It was besides intended to propose the favour of travelers who were heading west from Iceland, the Land of Ice. He embarked on Greenland for the second time in 25 ships, from which 14 had reached their destination. It was the year 986. Eric Rudy's son, Leif Ericson, took another expedition from Norway and discovered America in 1000. At the command of King Olaf Tryggvason of Norway, he baptized Greenland that year. By the 12th century, Greenland had its bishop and 12 churches. present we know that ice excavations prove that Greenland has been discovered by the first Canadians, which president Trump will most likely consider.
In 1247 – 1261 Green Island was like Iceland was a republic. In the second border year, she was forced to enter the Norwegian crown and stayed there until 1814, erstwhile she was under the Danish crown after the dissolution of the union of Norway and Denmark. However, trade and fishing remained the monopoly of the King of Norway. In the mid-15th century, the Norwegian colonies were invaded by the attackers from the north of the Eskimos. any colonists died in battles, and the another part entered procreative unions with the Eskimos. By the 16th century, the Norwegians were no longer in Greenland. At this point, I am pleased to inform prof. Davies that his punch, or holder of the same name, John Davies visited Greenland in 1585 and found no 1 but the Eskimos. Their descendants became an indigenous population, which spoke 1 of the 2 varieties of Greenlandese language, was schristianized, and at the beginning of the 18th century she underwent a varicella epidemic, which proved to be a plague decimating the inhabitants.
The modern past of Greenland dates back to 1953, the year of the Danish Constitution. The island (the largest in the world), which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, has gained autonomy in constitutional matters, defence, abroad policy and finance. Denmark was already a NATO associate in 1949. She agreed in a referendum in 1971 to the autonomy of Greenland, on whose territory there were 2 U.S. military bases – 1 aircraft and the another secret. The Greenlanders withdrew from the European economical Community in 1985 and extended their jurisdiction to maritime policy, natural resources, police and courts.
There are them, Inuits, permanent residents of Green Island, 50,000. They live in 17 cities (towns), which in the mountainous country of Greenland determines the deficiency of communication between them. Polish expeditions to Greenland began rather late. The author of 1 of the first reports on Inuit life was Czesław Centkiewicz ("Anaruk, a boy from Greenland"). From a book that came out in 1937, we learn that 12 - year - old boys can kill seals and that Inuits do not steal. president Trump wants to buy them along with the island due to the fact that Russia is pushing into the Arctic. Trump does not head that Russia is first of all forced into Ukraine. erstwhile announcing its entry into the Panama Canal, the president disregards the rule of "pacta sunt servanda" (the treaties apply even erstwhile the government changes). Trump's territorial intentions were clarified by his officials attending the Munich Conference. 1 said that European values cannot replace rifles, and the another added that Europe does not respect values, which makes it possible to believe that it does not accept American values either. president Trump's words indicate that he will not adhere to any value beyond financial. On the rights of the column, then, we want to reverse the equation and express to the court that Greenland has the chance to join the US and the Panama Canal, and Canada could absorb fresh York.
