ABSTRACT
The old world order crumbled around it, Denmark managed to avoid the political and economic fate of many other European nations after World War I. In partial response to the insecurity brought about by the vast profits Denmark quickly made—and lost—as a neutral country during the war, the government took unprecedented measures to regulate the economy to guarantee an acceptable baseline status quo for the majority of the population. The result was the systematic and widespread implementation of a number of landmark social and economic reforms that transformed the country into a liberal social democratic nation. The overlapping of the foreground contemporary font over the more traditional background titles emphasized the unfolding of different forms of modern culture through time. After World War I, Denmark was a country in the throes of major changes. The end of the war had caused economic hardship and an uneven distribution of wealth, and in 1922, the largest bank in the country, Landmandsbanken, collapsed.
