AHC:Bigger Danish Empire?

Whether this POD could plausibly have affected the Schlewsig-Holstein situation at all, too, I'm not entirely certain... but I suspect that Denmark getting all of Schleswig back (rather than just its northern half) after WW1 would probably be the limit of any added benefits to Denmark.

Denmark was actually offered to regain ALL of Schleswig-Holstein after WW1 by the Entente. Denmark refused and instead pushed for a referendum.
 
IOTL Denmark did have five forts along the coast of what is now Ghana; they held them for several centuries, the oldest having been held for 192 years before they ceded them all to Britain in 1850.

Perhaps have Denmark pull a France after the Second Slesvig Crisis and go after gaining some colonies to make-up for losing Metropolitan territory.
 
The problem with a bigger Danish Empire is that it is surely to be more costly, hence why Denmark sold most of its overseas holdings in tropical areas. Perhaps if you could manage to create a realistic joint colonial entity and/or cooperation shared between Denmark and Sweden, could lead to a larger and stronger Danish (and Swedish) Empire.
