1848 CE

Denmark includes the Duchy of Schleswig, and the king of Denmark rules the duchies of Holstein and Saxe-Lauenburg within the German Confederation at the beginning of 1848.

The majority of the ethnic Germans in Denmark live in these areas.

Germans make up a third of the country's population, and the three duchies are behind half of Denmark's economy.

The Napoleonic Wars, which had ended in 1815, had fanned both Danish and German nationalism.
