To World War Ii
Parliamentary reforms at the turn of the century and the enfranchisement of women and servants in 1915 further extended Denmark's liberal traditions, while industrial unrest in the years following World War I (during which Denmark managed to stay neutral) brought further power to unions and left-wing political groups - it was during these early postwar years that the foundations of Denmark's comprehensive social welfare system were established. When World War II broke out Denmark again tried to remain neutral, this time unsuccessfully. On April 9, 1940, the country was invaded by German troops, who marched up Nordre Frihavnsgade to the royal palaces at Amalienborg and took power the same day. The Danish parliament was left to operate purely as an administrative body and the economy was geared towards the German market. At first, the Danes could do little but comply, but growing resistance made life difficult for the Nazi forces. Passive non-cooperation gradually turned to armed struggle, and by the war's end, thousands of citizens had fought for the Danish resistance, many of them losing their lives in the process. In Copenhagen, the effect of the war was felt mainly in food and fuel rationing, and, apart from the occasional air-raid, the city largely escaped the devastation visited on other European cities - its finest moment came when a British air-raid on the Nazi headquarters on Radhuspladsen allowed most of the captured members of the Danish Resistance to escape.
