Question

In which of the following places did the Danish colonial empire hold possessions in India?

• A. Tranquebar
• B. Serampore
• C. Andaman and Nicobar
• D. All of the Above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the Above

Danish India was the name given to the colonies of Denmark in India, forming part of the Danish colonial empire. DenmarkNorway held colonial possessions in India for more than 200 years, including the town of Tharangambadi in present-day Tamil Nadu state, Serampore in present-day West Bengal, and the Nicobar Islands, currently part of India's union territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Danish presence in India was of little significance to the major European powers as they presented neither a military nor a mercantile threat.
