Greenlandic Independence Referendum

The Greenlandic Independence Referendum is a vote allowing Greenland’s residents to decide whether they want their territory to become fully independent from Denmark. Greenland is currently self-governing but still under Danish sovereignty. The referendum provides an opportunity for Greenlanders to express their desire for greater autonomy and to determine their economic and political future. Although past votes have resulted in a preference to remain part of Denmark, discussions continue about independence, especially due to Greenland’s rich natural resources and strategic position. The outcome influences Greenland’s path toward greater self-determination and nationhood.
