Uuuuh.

England: Danish colony.

Greenland: Danish colony. Contested by Norway wanting it as their colony.

U.S. Virgin Islands: Danish colony.

Northern France: Danish colony.

Norway: Danish colony. And later, Swedish colony.

Iceland: Danish colony. At the time, large parts of Sweden and Norway were part of Denmark.

Part of Ghana: Danish colony.

At various points in history.

Edit to clarify: and this is very much not a complete list. The first recorded instance of a king of Denmark losing a battle was in 550, iirc.
