Otto Scavenius

Otto Christian Jakob Jørgen Brønnum Scavenius[1] (in Danish usually referred to as O.C. Scavenius) (10 December 1875 – 10 September 1945) was Danish Foreign Minister from 5 April 1920 - 5 May 1920, during the Danish 1920 Easter Crisis.

For the Danish Prime Minister, see Erik Scavenius. A second relative also served as Foreign Minister, see Harald Scavenius

Before this appointment, he served as a high-ranking diplomat, occupying one of the Foreign Ministry's two positions as Permanent Secretary. Following his brief career in politics, he returned to the diplomatic scene and in 1921, he was appointed the first Director of the Foreign Ministry (1921–22). He advocated a more active and more trade-oriented Danish foreign policy, and was considered to be pro-British.[2]

He was succeeded as Foreign Minister by one of his relatives, Harald Scavenius.

gollark: Anyway, mind-reading is entirely doable but unfortunately most people's minds contain annoying irrelevant content rather than the specifics of the search query they just made.
gollark: Well, Google and Bing have 18246184618746128471289471289 employees ~~who actually know what they're doing~~ and postgres is likely better than the simple thing OSEv1 used.
gollark: What? No. Search engines are hard.
gollark: osmarks.net™ search engine™ plus™ will of course:- have working crawler logic probably- be faster somehow, as opposed to slower- use postgres FTS instead of a homegrown and not very good inverted index
gollark: So the crawler got links slightly wrong in certain situations and also it took 60 seconds to search anything.
