> Was it one of the two areas grabbed from Holland?

Denmark, but being dutch vs danish is very commonly confused/conflated in the US :D

Ah my bad! Thanks for the clarification. The name is pretty special so it brought forward some memory.

  • Haha sorry if I came across salty, I just wanted to joke around.

    It is true though. Can’t count how many times I’ve had this exchange “Oh danish huh? I love Amsterdam!” (the dutch capital)

    Europe is full of tiny countries and I absolutely can’t name all 50 US states or place even half on the map. No intention of shaming
