Population of Copenhagen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As always with metropolitan areas it's a question of definitions:

Municipality : 526.918 (Sep 2009) [21% are 1st and 2nd generation immigrants]

Capital (Copenhagen, Frederiksberg & Gentofte) : 683.397 (Jan 2009) [12,4% of DK]

Greater Copenhagen : 1.167.569 (2006) [21,2 % of Denmark]

Developments:

The municipality of Copenhagen has experienced a significant decline since the population peaked right after after WWII at 628.397 persons. This is due to a move from outdated flats in the 'old' city to the suburbs.

Increasingly Greater Copenhagen and the neighbouring Greater Malmö just across the Oeresund strait are in many regards working to develop a common metropolitan area (Öresund region) which is home to 1,8 mill inhabitants.

Is Denmark a parliamentary system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Denmark introduced Democracy in 1849, but only from 1901 was so-called parlimentarism enforced, which means that no government can have a majority in parliament against it. Until 1915 only men had the vote, so you can of course discuss how democratic the system was!

Who are Denmark's enemies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the time period considered.

From the break-up of the Scandinavian Kalmar union in the early 16th century, Denmark's main adversary was Sweden which made Russia the main ally for centuries.

In the 3o year war Denmark was on the protestant side, which would make England and Holland the main allies (supplying the finances for the hired army).

During the survival struggle in the 1660 Holland was an alley without which Denmark probably wouldn't have existed today.

In the Napoleonic wars Denmark was initially allied with various neutral Baltic countries (primarily Russia) trying to avoid having to side with neither France nor Great Britain. Eventually Denmark was forced to side with France.
