When we reflect on the grim history of the transatlantic slave trade, certain nations immediately come to mind—France, Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Their roles in the inhumane trafficking of African people, chaining them and condemning them to lives of unimaginable suffering, are well-documented and widely acknowledged. However, there is one nation whose significant contribution to this abhorrent chapter of history remains shrouded in obscurity: Denmark.
Today, Denmark stands as a beacon of prosperity, a Scandinavian country renowned for its high living standards, progressive social policies, and one of the world’s highest per capita gross national products. It is celebrated for its quality of life, environmental consciousness, and forward-thinking society. Yet, beneath the surface of this modern-day utopia lies a chilling truth—a truth that has long been buried beneath the sands of time. Denmark’s wealth and success, it turns out, were built upon the backs of African slaves.
