Greece and Lebanon

Those territories have been Danish since at least the Kalmar Union.

>Surely Denmarks colonies are far older than the English ones?
That's a relativistic question that is entirely seperate to absolute question of whether Denmark is the only existing colonial power

>Is Denmark the oldest remaining colonial power?
>oldest
No one's implying it's the only one.

I see. I misread OP / your post and made myself look like a retard.

>Neither of those still have colonies, do they?
Greenland isn't a colony anymore either. It was upgraded to a county of Denmark in 1953, and became its own autonomous state under Denmark in 2009.

There are actually Greek communities in places like Alexandria, Italy, Crimea and Pontus (or at least until very recently) that are mostly of post-Alexandrian nature (i.e. Koine/Byzantine), but it's still assumed that there was a continuous connection since antiquity.
No.

Goddamnit!

Upgrading it to a county is pretty much just modernizing the language. I'm however quite surprised that Greenland gained autonomy this recently.

This is really cool and interesting. Do you have any recommended literature on the subject?
Also, I know the subject is a bit fuzzy because what can be counted as a colony isn't always that clear.
