What is the country is Copenhagen?

Answer 1

Could be several things :

* Capital of Denmark (and until 1814 also of Norway). Founded in the late viking age (not 1167 as most dictionaries state), and becoming capital (i.e. the permanent of the King) in the mid 15th century.

* A theatre play about the unsuccessful attempt of German scientist Werner Heisenberg to get atomic secrets from his Danish colleague Niels Bohr during WW2. After the war Heisenberg claimed he had only been pretenting to work towards a German nuclear bomb to please the nazi regime, and accordingly he actually didn't want info out of Bohr.

* The famous horse belonging to the Duke of Wellington which he rode in the battle of Waterloo (A model can be seen in the battlefield museum!). The name probably stems from the fact that the Duke (when he was still only Sir Arthur Wellesley) in 1807 had participated in the British campaign on the island of Zealand on which the city of Copenhagen is located.

* A American brand of snuff.
