Encyclopedia > Pieter Willem Adriaan Cort van der Linden

Pieter Willem Adriaan Cort van der Linden (1846 - 1935) was a Dutch political figure. He served as prime minister of the Netherlands between 1913 and 1918.


He was the last prime minister leading a pure liberal cabinet.


One of his major assets was keeping the Netherlands out of the First World War.


He also introduced women's suffrage and universal suffrage in the Netherlands. Because of this, the social democrats and the RKSP (roman-catholic party) won the 1918 elections. And so the catholic Charles Ruys de Beerenbrouck took Cort van der Linden's place as Prime minister.
