The correct term in English for what happened in Denmark in 1813 is sovereign default. The use of the term bankruptcy in this way is widely propogated (especially in the media) but quite wrong. I propose to move this article to be Danish sovereign default 1813 and leave the current title as a redirect. Robert Brockway (talk) 03:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
After taking careful consideration of the comments made above, this article title has remained "state bankruptcy" as it has been deemed through extensive literature review that the event in Denmark was a bankruptcy. The state after excessive issue of banknotes had effectively devalued the currency leading to incredible rates of inflation and little capital on hand. The effect was great years of devastation and taxes for the population. You will see in the article how this has been justified. It would be greatly appreciated if you could give some feedback on the article as it stands now. Thank-you Arewell (talk) 08:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC) Arewell[reply]
Also, it appears from the article that the Danish government did not actually default on its debts, but resumed paying them in either 1815 or 1838 (the article says both). LastDodo (talk) 14:52, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
