Greenland was under U.S. protection during World War II, but it maintained Danish sovereignty. A definitive agreement for the joint defense of Greenland within the framework of NATO was signed in 1951. A large U.S. air base at Thule in the far north was completed in 1953. Under 1953 amendments to the Danish constitution, Greenland became part of Denmark, with two representatives in the Danish Folketing. On May 1, 1979, Greenland gained home rule, with its own local parliament (Landsting).
The thought of the national banner first came up in 1973 when some proposed a green, white, and blue banner. The following year in 1974 a daily paper distributed eleven different outlines out of which ten highlighted a Nordic Cross. In 1978, a configuration challenge was held. Of the numerous passages, a red and white banner with the circle was picked as the official banner of the nation.
In 1978, when Greenland was granted home rule by Denmark, a design contest was held across the country. Of the many entries received, a red and white flag with the circle was chosen as the official flag of the country.
In the nearby dialect, Greenlandic, the banner is alluded to as Erfalasorput, signifying "our banner". The Greenland banner is otherwise called Aappalaartoq - "the red". The term Aappalaartoq is likewise used to allude to the banner of Denmark. The banner of Greenland does not include a Nordic Cross.
