Scavenius Cabinet: Difference between revisions

The '''Scavenius Cabinetcabinet''' was the government of [[Denmark]] from 9 November 1942 to 5 May 1945. It replaced the [[Buhl I Cabinet|first Buhl cabinet]], which fellcollapsed due to the [[Telegram Crisis]] in November 1942, when the Germans demanded changes to the Danish government. The Germans wanted nonpolitical ministers and Nazi ministers in the new government, however only the first demand was met.

Following the {{ill|August Rebellion (1943)|da|Augustoprøret|lt=August Rebellion}} in 1943, the Germans put forward more demands, which the Danish authorities refused. The government therefore filed a resignation request for the [[Christian X of Denmark|King]] on 29 August 1943, who refused to accept it. The government ''[[de facto]]'' ceased to function, though still formally in power. The {{ill|Board of the Heads ofPermanent DepartmentSecretaries|da|Departementschefstyret}} was established, where the ministries[[Permanent andSecretary directors(Denmark)|permanent secretaries]] of the ministries managed the country. Only after the liberation of 5 May 1945, were the resignation accepted, and the Scavenius Cabinetcabinet and Board of thepermanent Heads of Departmentsecretaries were replaced by the [[Buhl II Cabinet|second Buhl cabinet]].
