Prussia's Rise & Denmark's Decline: The Schleswig Wars 1848-1864 (Documentary)

Schleswig Wars of 1848-51 and 1864

The two Schleswig Wars of 1848-51 and 1864 mark an important period in European History. Intertwined with the 1848 revolutions, the First Schleswig War’s settlement tries to uphold the European status quo. But the unhappy belligerents soon find themselves at war again in 1864 when Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck uses the Second Schleswig War as a first step towards German unification.
