Denmark–Republic of Texas relations refers to the historical foreign relations between The Republic of Texas and Kingdom of Denmark. Unofficial relations began a few years after the Texas Revolution, and effectivly ended in 1846 upon the annexation of Texas by the United States.

Danish recognition of Texas

[edit]

Denmark was very hesitant to recognize Texas at first, as it deemed its relations with Mexico a priority, and worried that recognition of Texas would violate the 1827 Treaty of Friendship, Trade and Navigation it had signed with Mexico.[1] Denmark however, though not extending itself diplomaticly, did go as far allowing Texan Goods into Danish ports but would latter put a tariff on all imports from Texas. Aside from the almost one-way Trading, relations between the two nations were almost non-existent.[2]

Trade

[edit]

Trade between the two nations was minimal, but The Republic of Texas did however export some cotton and corn to Denmark and its Colonies,[3] Denmark may have exported some wheat and finished goods to The Republic of Texas, however this cannot be proved.[4] Trade did not last long before Denmark put a tariff on Texan Goods.
