Book Description
With the Constitution of 1953, the colonial status of Greenland came to an end, and Greenlanders were granted equal rights as citizens within the Danish realm. In 1954 this new arrangement was supported by the UN General Assembly. The decision to change Greenland's status was conditioned both by internal and external circumstances. In the UN context, Danes increasingly felt the strain of being a colonial power, and they feared the possibility of future UN interference in Greenlandic affairs.

Book Description
Excerpt from Greenland, Vol. 3: The Colonization of Greenland and Its History Until 1929 Of the 149 million kmz, which constitute the land surface of the earth, hardly more than two fifths are suitable for a white population. The climate of the tropics and the adjoining parts of the subtropics is far too hot for European labour to assert itself, and in the case of more than two fifths of the land surface of the earth an effective exploitation by means of white labour is prevented by the excessive heat. Unfortunately it is in these very parts that nature offers the richest possibilities for cultivation, but the exploitation of these natural resources will probably always be dependent upon the labour of non-european races. Round the Poles we have the arctic and the antarctic countries, constituting in all a little less than one fifth of the land surface of the earth; here the means of existence are generally very poor. Thus it is within the temperate and adjoining subtropical zones that Nature herself offers the best conditions of life for European colonists. But the European races are not the only ones to exploit these areas. The tem perate and subtropical countries of the extra-european continents had already, for thousands of years, provided subsistence for other races, before Europeans found their way across the seas.
