Gradually they integrated with the German tribes, which inhabited these lands until then and in 8th c. They became the predominant population. In 10th c. the Danish kingdom was established. Denmark is one of the lowest and flattest countries in the world. The climate of the country is temperate морски with cool summer and wet winter. Agriculture is one of the most important industries of the economy. Almost 2/3 of the areas are fertile and arable lands.
