Weapons and Chronology
History is written in gunpowder. Explore the wars and weapons that have defined Denmark.
The students will explore six wars to understand how the weapons of war evolve and help shape the possibilities in each conflict. We work chronologically to strengthen the students' historical anchors and overview. They will be involved throughout the course and will handle weapons from various wars. See some of them below.
