 Danish dilemmas: South Schleswig after World War II and "unassimilated" immigrants today. - Encyclopedia.com
The Danish government, in answering the irredentist claims of German nationalists to recover North Schleswig (under German rule 1864-1920), had consistently presented the argument that the 1920 plebiscite and boundary agreed on then was the fairest solution as long as both minorities enjoyed unhindered expression of their cultural identity.
Danish nationalists argued that it would be a repeat of the mistake of 1920 not to demand the incorporation of all of Schleswig.
Although the Danish minority in South Schleswig felt abandoned for a time, it has reestablished a firm footing in the cultural, social, and political life of the region and is considerably stronger than the German minority in Denmark, a reversal of the situation that prevailed in 1939 or 1920.
