For more than 80 years, Greenland has quietly shaped American security, global strategy, and the future of the Arctic. Long before the headlines mocked Donald Trump for wanting to “buy” it, the U.S. military saw Greenland as a shield, an early-warning station, and a gateway to the northern hemisphere.
From World War II to the Cold War, from Thule Air Base to Project Iceworm, and now the new race for Arctic minerals and shipping lanes, Greenland has returned to the center of global power.
In this episode, we break down the hidden history the media ignored, including why the U.S., Russia, China, and NATO are all fighting for influence over the world’s largest island. Written and hosted by Mike Droberg. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
