The Cabinet of Hartling was the government of Denmark from 19 December 1973 to 13 February 1975. The minority cabinet was composed of 12 members of Venstre, led by Poul Hartling. The cabinet members resigned on 13 February 1975, as a result of the party's losing that year's election.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “danish government cabinet 1973-1975” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3429305. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1973 and 1975.

Critical limits

Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
