If New Zealand is "New" Zealand, is there an "Old" Zealand?
Oh, I didn't know that. Do you know if Zealand was ever colonized by the Dutch or Danes?
Yes, Zealand was historically a part of Denmark and ruled by the Danish monarchy. It was also briefly ruled by Sweden after the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde. The Dutch never colonized Zealand specifically, but they did establish trading posts throughout the region.
