Krigsministeriet

The Krigsministeriet was the Danish Ministry for Army and Defense from 1848 to 1950 . With the end of the absolute monarchy in Denmark, it replaced the Krigskollegiet , which had previously undergone several name changes. From 1905 the Krigsministeriet and the Marineministeriet were led by the Defense Minister . In 1950 the two ministries were also merged to form the Forsvarsministeriet .
