After the Napoleonic wars most of Europe experienced a national
awakening. Not the least in the German speaking parts of Europe, as for instance in Sleswig and Holstein. 1806-1815 the government of Denmark had claimed Sleswig and Holstein to be parts of Denmark, which wasn't popular among the Germans. The revolutions 1848 all over Europeled in Schleswig and Holstein to a failed separatist rebellion, and Nationalists in Denmark advocated danification of Schleswig (but not Holstein). In 1864 the Danish government saw a historical opportunity to achieve this, but instead Prussia and Austria attacked. After a short war Sleswig and Holstein was ceded and from 1866 incorporated with Prussia.
