Part 4/9:

Historically, Denmark has held colonial power over Greenland, with the ability to sell colonies, most famously seen in the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States in 1917. However, today’s political landscape is markedly different. The Kingdom of Denmark now functions more like a federation that consists of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland, each of which has varying degrees of autonomy.

Current constitutional frameworks prioritize the independence and decision-making capabilities of the Greenlandic people. Greenlanders themselves largely view their territory as their own sovereign entity rather than a mere extension of Danish control. By fostering a national identity, they reject the notion of Denmark selling Greenland to foreign powers.
