Schleswig-Holstein War

by crave_law

I just wanted to clarify something about the first and second Schleswig-Holstein war. From my understanding the first war was between Germany and Denmark over the duchies Schleswig and Holstein. What I don’t understand is how the second war came to be. I understand that the king at the time died without delegating land but wasn’t that already determined during the first war? Thanks!

Hi there, there's always more to be said, but you might be interested in this thread and the ensuing discussion about the Schleswig-Holstein question.
