This paper deals with the topic of human history in Greenland, focusing on the Modern Period. The Eskimos were the first to live in Greenland; In the Middle Ages, they were joined by the Nors. The Inuit continued Eskimo traditions, while the Nors disappeared from the island. In the 18th century, Nors' heirs (Norwegians/Danes) returned to Greenland. Today, Inuits, Greenlanders (from mixed marriages), and Danes live there. Europe tried to discover every corner of the Earth throughout the Modern Period, including Greenland. But Greenland is covered with an ice sheet, and the climate is icy, sharp, and fickle. Many lost their lives there, and many returned without achieving their goals. It was only at the end of the Modern Period that the entire coast of Greenland was put on the map. The recolonization of Greenland was little different from colonization, given that the colonists of the Middle Ages were completely gone. The literature shows that Denmark kept the Greenlanders and Inuit in a subordinate position for about two hundred years, but Greenland resents Denmark the most for its treatment of it in the middle of the 20th century when it was no longer a colony, but an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
