History

The position of Minister of War was created following the end of the Absolute monarchy, when the Generalty and Commissariat College ( Danish: Generalitets- og Kommisariatskollegiet) was disbanded, and power transferred to elected officials. [1] While the Minister of War and the Minister for the Navy's positions were merged in 1905, the Ministries continued to exists separately until 1950. [1]
