Greenland is a self-governing overseas administrative division within the Kingdom of Denmark. Denmark’s relationship with Greenland dates to 1721, and in 1953 Greenland was formally incorporated into Denmark. In 1979 Greenland was granted home rule. This means that Greenland’s government (led by the Inatsisartut, a parliament elected by adults aged 18 and older) controls most of its domestic affairs, while Denmark oversees the island’s foreign affairs and defense.
