-====== Denmark ======+====== Denmark (Look to the West) ======
  
 The Kingdom of Denmark, in [[Look to the West]], has had quite an interesting 18th century. History diverged from OTL after Crown Prince Frederick (Christian VI's son) died in 1743. The kingdom thence passed to Prince Christian, who became Christian VII. Christian VII was a reformer who turned against his father's absolutist and Pietist policies, sold off Denmark's global interests and used the payments to finance a grand effort aimed at dominance of the Baltic. He did not live to see his work completed, but completed it was. In 1800 [[Sweden (Look to the West)#Sweden]] was joined once more to Denmark in a new Union of Kalmar. The Kingdom of Denmark, in [[Look to the West]], has had quite an interesting 18th century.

 Christian VII restored the Danish Diet, shortly after abolishing serfdom, in order to play off the people against rebellious nobles. He also abolished the slave trade as a sop to Danish intellectuals, having already sold off all Denmark's slave trading posts to the Dutch anyway.  Christian VII restored the Danish Diet, shortly after abolishing serfdom, in order to play off the people against rebellious nobles.
