Why do people say not having arable land is a big deal? Do you think they had arable land in fucking Dubai? How about Denmark? Of course not. And look how successful they are. Even if historians and scientists try to skew agricultural data to make Africa seem less arable than it actually is, the reality is it doesn't matter. Historically arable land helped no one thrive.

Denmark is like 80% arable land.

Dubai is a completely artificial monument to man's hubris complete with a tower of babel.

Lovely landscape too. Seriously check it out. Not an outdoorsman but for Denmark it's an major exception because it's worth trip.

T.definitely not a danish tourism marketer.

No it isnt

yes it is

Prove it

OP, Dubai and Denmark became developed only after human technology developed to the point you could thrive regardless of how fertile your lands are.

few centuries ago Denmark and Dubai were Africa tier.

>Population is almost entirely foreigners who built everything using 20th & 21st century technology and a handful of actual arabs who did nothing but suck NATO dick

Denmark is one of the most fertile countries in the world.

jesus then why did the danes wait so long to become one of the most developed countries on earth

because farming isn't how you become an industrialized country.

but it was how you'd become a developed nation before the industrialization.

being "developed" in a pre industrial sense had more to do with politics and culture than economy.

right

That's kind of irrelevant to how fertile Denmark's land is.

You do realize Africa had super mansions and skyscrapers right?

It's just like Dubai. All that shit was built by Westerners. Dubai is just an oil well that traded oil for Westerners to build shit for them.

Without inter Western rivalries they would have just been destroyed outright.

Because cutting the peat required medieval technology at least via the iron mouldboard plough.

Coincidentally, the Scandinavian countries start becoming prominent at this exact moment in history and northern Germany experiences a population boom that leads to it looking eastward to colonize new lands.

Go look at the google maps view of Denmark, there's a lot of farms.

...

Please explain how a Scandinavian country with 11 months of winter each year has arable land.

If you don't exaggerate it makes sense

Arable land isn't the issue. It's insecure property rights due to a weak or predatory state.

Dubai is a trade port and Denmark has one of the best soils in Europe you idiot

>American education

I refuse to be believe that retard is American, don't pin him on us. He's Canadian.

A Canadian would understand that being northerly doesn't mean you have no farms. I'm sorry but it's 99% certain he's an Amerifat.

Both Dubai and Denmark sit at incredibly important geographical positions that have been important for thousands of years, and Denmark is extremely fertile.

Nah probably a mexican.

Sorry, his correct usage of "fucking" as an intensifier demonstrates he is an Anglo of some kind, while his total lack of knowledge about the world narrows that down to "American".

How the fuck did you think Denmark was so powerful in the Middle Ages if they couldn't farm?

You accidentally backed into an example of how tiny Denmark could colonize gigantic, resource rich Norway for centuries, thanks to geography.
