1864 CE to 1875 CE

Denmark faces war against both Prussia and Austrian Empire in what becomes known as the Second Schleswig War, lasting from February to October 1864.

Denmark is defeated and obliged to cede Schleswig and Holstein to Prussia.

This loss comes as the latest in the long series of defeats and territorial losses that had begun in the seventeenth century.

After these events, Denmark pursues a policy of neutrality in Europe.
