What is the biggest possible Denmark that isn't a Scandinavian Union with Denmark at the head?
A realistic Denmark without Scandinavian union could hold:
That's all I can think of. Maybe other parts of the Baltic as well though.
- Scania
- Smaland
- Gotland
- Schelswig-Holstein
- Pommerania
- Norway
- Iceland
- Greenland
- Those various West Indies Islands they had
- Danish Africa (About as big as Ghana, maybe slightly larger)
Maybe something like the Danish-Congo esque territory in Africa? Several colonial powers but neither can afford to let the other get a leg up, so they give Denmark a chunk of Africa as it doesn't threaten the balance of power?
Maybe by agreement with Britain/Canada, some of the islands to the west of Greenland too?A realistic Denmark without Scandinavian union could hold:

Also, IOTL they had a few trading posts in India.
There could possibly have been circumstances under which Oldenburg would have been returned to the branch of the family that ruled Denmark.
