Lately, I posted a thread, were Columbus offers his services to Denmark. What if Denmark mainatains Greenland connection throughout 15th century and eventually sets foot on old Markland and Vinland in 15th century. Imagine, the country manages to get rich by Walrus tooth (a subscriber noted, taht they had been as worthy as gold ) and pelt trade . Could Denmark become one of the richest kingdoms in Western Europe (at least main power of the North), maybe cementing Schleswig and Holstein rule, bound Norway , hire merchenary armies and build mighty fleets ? Maybe outcompetate England, or England not emerging as great power ? ? Swallow Hamburg ? No rise of Sweden ?
