Anglo-Danish War

The Anglo-Danish War (1651–1660) was a conflict between England and Denmark-Norway primarily driven by economic and colonial rivalries. It stemmed from tensions over control of trade routes, maritime access, and territorial disputes, especially in the Baltic Sea. The war included a series of battles at sea and land, with England seeking to weaken Danish influence and assert dominance. It saw periods of fighting and truce, ultimately ending with the Treaty of Copenhagen in 1660, which reaffirmed Danish control over its territory and trade interests, shaping the balance of power in Northern Europe.
