Copenhagen, or København to give it its Danish name, was a
fishing village until Bishop Absalon secured it in 1167.
In 1443, the city was chosen as the capital of Denmark, and it remains
so today.
Although it withstood a siege by the Swedes in 1658-1659, Copenhagen
suffered great damage and the Danish navy was destroyed, by the British fleet during the
Napoleonic wars, in 1801 and 1807.
Hans Christian Andersen made Copenhagen his home. To honour him,
Copenhagen erected a bronze statue of the Little Mermaid at the harbour's entrance, in
1913.
