In 1902, there were incorrect statements in the press, that Denmark has claimed Venezuela since 1837.[9][10] During the Venezuela Crisis of 1902–1903, American ambassador to Venezuela Herbert W. Bowen transferred the defence of Venezuela to Venezuela's allies including Denmark.[11]

During the period from 1938 to 1948, dozens of Danish families emigrated to Venezuela.[12][13] On 5 June 1938, 187 Danes sailed for Venezuela.[14]
