- Did Europe gain from overseas colonies, and if so what parties in Europe? This paper looks at the case of Denmark and its colonies in the West Indies during the early-modern era. All the major parties in Denmark – producers, consumers and the Danish Crown – benefited from the country’s possession of colonies in the West Indies. The results stand in sharp contrast to previous research that has studied British gains from colonialism during the same period of time. The Danish case might thereby diversify the picture of who stood to gain from colonialism and potentially give a more accurate picture of the costs and gains of the first wave of colonialism.
