The First Schleswig War

Spoiler: Background

Schleswig-Holstein had been part of Denmark for a long time. At the same time, Holstein had also been part of the Holy Roman Empire in name, although the Danish king almost always ruled over Schleswig-Holstein in some form of way, either in a personal union or with direct control. Holstein was mainly populated by Germans, and with the rise of nationalism in the 19th century, many Holstenians wanted to become part of a German country, like Prussia. In 1848, the Danish King ruled over Denmark as well as the Duchy of Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg. In the same year, the Danish King Christian VIII died, leaving the country and the duches to his son and heir, Frederik VII. Except he wasn't legal in Schleswig-Holstein. Tensions started rising, as the Duchies should rightfully fall to the House of Oldenburg.

Spoiler: Start of the War

As Frederik VII succeeded to the throne, a letter was sent to him demanding him to recognize Schleswig-Holstein as part of the German Confederation. Frederik responded, accepting the demand of Holstein but saying that he did not have the power to actually do it. This immediatly led to a rebellion by the 5th Lauenburger Rifle Corps, led by Prince Frederick of Noer. He led them to take the fortress of Rendsburg. The fortress contained the 14th, 15th and 16th Infantry Battalions as well as the 2nd Regiment of Artillery and some military engineers.

When they arrived to the fortress, they realized the gate had been left open and hurried in, surprising the defenders and taking the fortress.

Spoiler: The War

The Rebels aimed to defeat Denmark before Prussia and other German powers could intervene, General Krohn occupied Flensborg on the 31st of March. 7.000 Danish soldiers arrived east of the city. Krohn feared that the Danish would attempt to surround him, and he ordered a withdrawal. During the withdrawal, Danish forces reached them and fought in the Battle of Bov on the 9th of April, winning the battle. During April, the Germans and Prussians would win the rest of the battles but on the 5th of June the Danish forces defeated the Germans at the Battle of Dybbøl Hill.

Meanwhile, the Germans had only little support. Most European powers were in support of the Danish point of view and did not want the Danes to lose Schleswig-Holstein. Swedish-Norwegian volunteers also arrived to help the Danish during the fight.

The Prussians also started being threatened by the other great powers such as Great Britain and Russia. Friedrich William, King of Prussia, ordered the Prussians to withdraw from Schleswig-Holstein but General Friedrich von Wrangel refused as he claimed he was doing this on orders of the German Confederation.
Prussia was now confronted with a choice - support the Germans and anger the other European powers or withdraw. The King chose the latter and the peace of Malmö was signed on the 26th of August.

The war went on, but in January 1849 the London Conference started. Prussia, Great Britain and Russia all supported peace and it was close to being finished but negotiations broke down as Denmark refused.
However, a short truce was signed, although it ended only a month later.

The Danish forces would go on to win a lot of battles after this, halting a Prussian advance on Jutland on the 31st of May in a cavalry battle.

The War went on as usual with a few battles and the only naval battle, the Battle of Heligoland which ended inconclusively.

On the 2nd of July 1850 Prussia and Denmark made peace finally. The battles went on as usual again, winning almost all battles.

In 1851, the Danish government attempted to come to an understanding with the German duchies, although not much else happened.

In 1852, the London Protocol was signed, and later the second London Protocol was signed by the major powers of Europe including Denmark and Sweden.

Though the Danish were victorious in keeping the duchies, this would be shortlived as in 1864, the Second Schleswig War started, ending Danish soverignity over north Germany.

The Second Schleswig War

Spoiler: Background

In 1851, the First Schleswig War, also known as the Three Years War, ended in Danish victory but the Nationalist movement in Schleswig-Holstein didn't end there - there was a majority of Germans in the area and they wanted to be part of a unified Germanic nation. Denmark had since then attempted to integrate Schleswig-Holstein to become a full part of Denmark, but this had just sparked more opposition.

The Danish also enforced a heavy toll on the Øresund-strait between Denmark and Sweden, the only way out of the Baltic Sea, as such Denmark had a heavy amount of trade income in the area. Prussia had started plans about making a canal, the Kiel Canal, which should be made through Schleswig-Holstein. But this could not be done with Denmark controlling it

Not only that, there were also disputes about who should be the heir to the throne of Denmark. The Germans supported members of the House of Augustenborg, a German cadet branch of the Danish ruling house. Meanwhile, the
Danes considered them too German and supported the more Danish House of Glücksburg. '

To make things worse, in 1848 the first constitution of Denmark had been written which was partly the reason why the First Schleswig War started. And now the Danes were supporting democracy for everyone including the Germans. But Schleswig-Holstein wasn't democratic, it was absolutionist. Danish cabinet-members feared that if the Germans were allowed to become part of the cabinet, they would end up with too much power.

Spoiler: Start of the War

In 1863, the Danish King died shortly before he was supposed to sign the November Constitution, a joint Danish-Schleswig constitution. The new King Christian IX signed it although showing concerns meanwhile. This caused outrage in Schleswig-Holstein and soon the German Confederation passed a resolution to  call for an occupation of Holstein. Denmark decided to retreat back to the border between Schleswig and Holstein, fortifying the most of it at Danevirke, a Danish fortification from the Viking Age.
The Danish army consisted of approx. 38.000 men split up in four divisions. 36.000 of them were fortified at Danevirke.

Spoiler: The War

The danish fortified themselves at other places as well to be used as flank-posititions at places such as Dybbøl and Ebeltoft.
The Danes prepared defenses mainly at the Danevirke which would prove to be a mistake - the winter in 1864 was harsh and there were marshes and water at both ends of Danevirke, as such the Germans simply walked by it instead. The Germans then attacked from the rear, and the Danish army retreated and took a defensive stance at an area called old Dybbøl, part of a small peninsula sticking into the Baltic Sea from Jutland.

The Danish originally defended from the Eider River, although they were pushed back in February. In March, the Prussians attempted to break through to get to Dybbøl, first trying to stop a blockade by the Danish navy and then assaulting the Danish outposts and then Dybbøl. They failed at breaking the blockade and assaulting Dybbøl but did manage to push back the Danish outposts.
Later on in April, the Danish army retreated from Fredericia during a siege by the Austrians who was allied with Prussia.

On the 18th of April, the Prussians moved to their positions, soon after starting a bombardemant of the fortifications at Dybbøl. The Prussians then launched an assault, taking the first redoubt. The Danish 8th Brigade counter-attacked the Prussians but ended up losing half of their men, either wounded or dead. The Prussians advanced 1km to Dybbøl Mill. Soon after, the defense collapsed as the Danish army retreated to the pier. 3,600 Danes died while only 1,600 Prussians died during the battle.

The war went on as the German armies advanced further up into Jutland. The Prussians, having taken Dybbøl, used it as a base to start an invasion of Als, starting out by firing artillery.
The invasion of Als was the last major military engagement of the war, as soon after on the 11th of July, the Germans had reached the top of Jutland - Prussian General Eduard Vogel von Falckenstein signed his name in the church book at the top of Jutland. Jutland had been occupied, to avoid the Germans taking the rest of the Isles of Denmark, the Danes were forced to negotiate for peace.

The peace treaty forced Denmark to hand over Schleswig and Holstein to Austria and Prussia respectively. The defeat was humiliating for Denmark but would be the last conflict Denmark would be in until World War 2
