Christian IX Declares Schleswig Part of Denmark

November 18th, 1863 161 years ago

King Christian IX of Denmark signed the November constitution, asserting that Schleswig was part of Denmark. This action was viewed as a breach of the London Protocol by the German Confederation, instigating tensions that led to the German–Danish War of 1864. The Danish government aimed to solidify its control over the disputed territory, igniting a conflict that would have significant implications for both Denmark and Germany.
