Otto love

Carl Julius Otto Liebe (born May 24, 1860 in Copenhagen ; † March 21, 1929 there ) was the Danish Prime Minister with the shortest term of office, namely from March 30 to April 5, 1920.

Otto Liebe was born the son of a respected lawyer and received a legal education himself. He became a lawyer in 1889 and was the owner of one of the most famous and largest law firms in Denmark. The Danish royal family was one of his clients. In 1910 he became chairman of the bar association.

In 1920, during the so-called Easter Crisis , there were disagreements between King Christian X and the Zahle II government over the Sydjylland question. The Prime Minister resigned after a heated discussion with the King. The king then dismissed the other ministers and appointed Otto Liebe as the new head of government on March 29, 1920 without the consent of the Folketing, with the stipulation that an election for the Folketing be scheduled as soon as possible.

Liebe and his ministers were politically conservative, but not politicians themselves. They soon realized that they were no longer in control of the explosive atmosphere. Some critics noted that the king had breached the constitution and a general strike was threatened. The king was worried, and on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1920, he dismissed the government of Liebe and instead appointed Michael Pedersen Friis Prime Minister.

Otto Liebe stayed away from politics from then on, and the Danish king then limited himself to representative tasks.
