Pieter Cort van der Linden
Pieter Cort van der Linden (born May 14, 1846 in The Hague ; † July 15, 1935 there ) was a Dutch politician . He was liberal, but not partisan.
The lawyer was Minister of Justice from 1897 to 1901 and later Minister of the Interior and Prime Minister of the Netherlands from August 29, 1913 to September 9, 1918. He succeeded in preventing the Netherlands from being drawn into the First World War . Under his government, there was a so-called pacificatie (pacification) between denominational and non-denominational parties on two important issues. The greater part of the non-denominational (especially liberals) agreed to the state funding of private schools, which the denominational demanded. In return, the latter supported the introduction of universal suffrage (initially only for men, in 1919 also for women). The constitution was changed for this.
In 1915 he was awarded the honorary title of Minister of State .
His grave is in the Dutch cemetery Oud Eik en Duinen in The Hague .
