Monrad government

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prime Minister DG Monrad

The Monrad government ( Danish Ministeriet Monrad ) was the government of Denmark from December 31, 1863 to July 11, 1864 under Prime Minister DG Monrad . The reigning king was Christian IX.

In the run-up to the German-Danish War , President Hall did not abandon his Eider -Danish policy of confrontation against the German Confederation . King Christian tried to change his mind, but unsuccessfully. The king therefore made attempts to form a new government, but many politicians refused to take over the leadership of the cabinet due to the muddled foreign policy situation. It was not until December 31, 1863 that a transitional government was formed under the previous Minister of Education, Monrad, also an Eider-Dane. Shortly after the formation of the government, the German-Danish war broke out. On July 8, 1864, the king asked Monrad to resign, which was due to the failure of Danish policy during the war, which ultimately meant the loss of the duchies of Schleswig , Holstein and Lauenburg .
