Why? What? Research....

Denmark. I chose this country for a couple of reasons. All of my obvious countries that I thought might have been easier to understand and/or in the news more often were already taken. Then I thought, “Denmark legalized pot.” Any country that legalizes drugs has to be interesting right? But then it dawned on me that I had a brain fart…Amsterdam is the one that has legal marijuana. But I am still satisfied with my choice.
My family background is pretty much the majority of Europe. Denmark is just one more country that I have in my family history. In my train of thought, I do not know a lot about the countries of Europe. I know all of the basics you learn in school as you grow up…all of the wars, divided parts and reunited parts, but that’s about the extent of it. I don’t really know an in depth history of any country in Europe.
With those reasons in mind, I figured that any country I have in my bloodline I can find interesting. I think that Europe as a whole though is pretty interesting, so this project should be pretty cool.
