1945-1969 since 1990







Greenland 1969-1990

When Denmark joined the EEC in 1973, Greenland was included. In 1979, Greenland achieved political autonomy (home rule). The country was renamed into Kalaatlit Nunaat - Greenland, Innuit and Danish both being official languages. In 1985, Greenland decided to leave the European Union, the only country to do so so far.
The large country with a population of merely 60,000 now has a (tiny) university, established in 1987.
