User:Tinkaer1991/Valdemar Atterdag's reunification of Denmark

Valdemar Atterdag's reunification of Denmark (Valdemar Atterdags genforening af Danmark), or simply the Reunification of Denmark (Genforeningen af Danmark), refers to the process in which Valdemar IV of Denmark would reunite Denmark, which had at that point been carved up by various counts, kings and landlords. The reunification took place from 1640, when Valdemar was elected king, to 1660, when Valdemar would invade Scania, which had at that point been under the Swedish king, Magnus Eriksson.

The reunification led to Valdemar receiving the nickname atterdag, usually interpreted as "day again", indicating that he united the realm together again and brought renewed hope to the realm after a period of bad kingship.
