A Brief History of Greenland - And Why Trump Wants It

Описание: Greenland might look like a frozen afterthought on the map, but its history tells a very different story. In this video, I trace how this massive island went from a Viking frontier to one of the most strategically important places on Earth — and why world powers, including the United States, suddenly care so much about it again.

The earliest human settlements and how people survived one of the harshest environments on the planet.
12:21 The Viking Experiment

23:23 Colonial Control and Modern Greenland
I break down how Greenland moved between empires and what autonomy really looks like today.

Finally, I explain why resources, geography, and global politics have put Greenland back in the spotlight.
