The brutal colonization of another nation or territory has devastating and long-lasting impacts. The lasting impacts include discrimination against indigenous peoples, income and wealth gaps, and poor economic and governing infrastructure. This case is another stark reminder of the social consequences of colonization and Denmark's reckless policies.
While proceeding with caution, European governments have come to the table to discuss reparations for formerly colonized nations across the globe. The harm cannot be undone, but accountability will go a long way toward bridging strained relationships and restoring wrongs. Governments like Denmark are working in good faith to address the legacy of colonial policies.
