	Danish minority of Southern Schleswig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Danish minority in Southern Schleswig, Germany has existed by this name since 1920, when the Schleswig Plebiscite split the German-ruled Schleswig into Northern Schleswig, with a clear Danish majority which became part of Denmark, and Southern Schleswig which remained a part of Germany, leaving a small number of Danes in Germany.
		After World War II, many refugees were sent to Schleswig from areas that Germany had lost in the East.
		However, the Danish government did not allow South Schleswig to join the kingdom, and in 1953 the so-called Programm Nord (Northern Programme) was set up by the Schleswig-Holstein state government to help the area economically.
