Why is Greenland the largest island and not Denmark?
Dabawsmanndatanbossg...
The size of an island is not determined by the total area ruled by a government. Greenland is the second-largest island (after Australia) and the largest not designated as a separate continent.
Denmark, a European country north of Germany, has sovereignty over Greenland dating to its colonization beginning in 1605, and even earlier exploration by the Vikings. The natives of Greenland are Thules from Alaska, who migrated across Canada in the 13th and 14th century.
