Description was written before the event

Hedens Slægtsforskere in Grindsted and Billund Libraries invite you to a lecture with historian Steen Ole Hedelund Jørgensen about King Christian 10's dismissal of the Zahle government in 1920 - the sequence of events that later became known in history as the king's coup.

The lecture covers the Reunification of 1920, the struggle over the Flensburg question, the popular outrage, and the threatening general strike that ultimately forced the king to yield.

Tickets are sold at the door. Venue: Fællesskabet in Magion.
