> Greenland is not in europe. It may be a danish colony but that doesn't make it "european territory" any more than french guiana is. EU territory? Sure. But europe is a penninsula on the western flank of eurasia.

You are right that Greenland is not in Europe (it sits on the Nort American tectonic plate).

It is also not an EU territory, however, it is linked to Europea through Denmark. European influence exists through governance, education, and trade.

Most Greenlanders identify primarily as Kalaallit (Inuit) and Greenlandic, not European.
