The Treaty of Speyer or Peace of Speyer was signed on May 23, 1544 between Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire during an Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire in Speyer, Germany.
 Danish king Christian III had imposed heavy tolls on the Sound and two other channels between the North Sea and the Baltic sea, in an effort to end the Dutch dominance of trade in the Baltic region.
 Under pressure from Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, he agreed to exempt the Dutch ships from these tolls and give them free and unfettered access to the Baltic.
 In the treaty, Charles V also recognized Christian III as the rightful king of Denmark, and promised not to provide military support to his rival Christian II.
 The Treaty of Speyer dictated Christian III's foreign policy for the rest of his life.
 He kept Denmark at peace, refusing to involve the country in Protestant-Catholic conflicts such as the Schmalkaldic War of 1546.
 The Dutch would continue to dominate Baltic trade for another two centuries.
Christian III (12 August 1503 – 1 January 1559) reigned as king of Denmark from 1534 until his death and Norway from 1537 until his death.
 During his reign, Christian established Lutheranism as the state religion within his realms as part of the Protestant Reformation.
Danish modern is a style of minimalist furniture and housewares from Denmark associated with the Danish design movement.
 In the 1920s, Kaare Klint embraced the principles of Bauhaus modernism in furniture design, creating clean, pure lines based on an understanding of classical furniture craftsmanship coupled with careful research into materials, proportions and the requirements of the human body.
 With designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner and associated cabinetmakers, Danish furniture thrived from the 1940s through the 1960s.
 Adopting mass-production techniques and concentrating on form rather than just function, Finn Juhl contributed to the style's success.
 Danish housewares adopting a similar minimalist design such as cutlery and trays of teak and stainless steel and dinnerware such as those produced in Denmark for Dansk in its early years, expanded the Danish modern aesthetic beyond furniture.
