[edit]As far as I know: The warship battle in World War 2 was at the Danish coast in the North Sea, not in Denmark Strait.
- The battle that included the Bismarck and the Hood did take place in the Denmark Strait. Look it up. --Bjarki 21:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- You might be confusit it with the battle of Jutland which did take place off the coast of Denmark but happened in WWI. --Bjarki 21:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, my mistake. Fyrirgef þú.
Why is it named for Denmark?
[edit]I can see why one name is the Greenland Strait, as it lies next to Greenland, but Denmark is pretty far off - how did it led its name to this body of water? --Badger151 (talk) 05:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- Greenalnd is part of the Danish Realm and Iceland use to be(until 1944). As either a part of the danish Realm or in a personal union with Denmark proper.94.145.236.194 (talk) 17:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- If you look on a map of the world in 1800 or 1900, Denmark ruled both sides of the strait. 22:21, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
