In the 10th century, a new royal dynasty emerged in Denmark. Gorm the Old took the throne, followed by Harald Bluetooth, who united Denmark and Norway and converted the Danes to Christianity. Harald strengthened central power, introduced the new faith, and built the foundations of a state administration.
Christianity, spreading from southern Europe, reached Denmark through Harald’s conversion. This move prevented an invasion by the aggressive Holy Roman Empire. Adopting a strategy akin to "If you can't beat them, join them," Harald defused the German threat and secured Denmark’s position in Europe. In just two generations, Denmark transformed from a peripheral area into a key player shaping European history.
