was at once thoroughly "militariZed."
The Polish insurrection in 1863 gave
Bismarck chance to make friends
with Russia, and he declared that If
Russia We're driven out of Poland
Prussia would march in. The affairs
of the "duchies" gave Bismarck an
other opportunity. The Danish gov.
ernment had prepared constitution
for Schleswig which made that duchy
an integral part of the Danish king
dom, which was contrary to the last
Of the many settlements of the
"Schleswig-H -Holstein question" The
Germanic confederation refused to
take any steps and Bismarck made
advances to Austria-he would en-
veigle her and then destroy her.
The Danes counted upon aid from
France and England in both of which
countries there had been an outbreak
of sympathy for small nation men
aced by two powerful ones, and in
March of 1868 royal proclamation
issued ut Copenhagen repudiated the
settlement of 1852 and offered the
gage of battle.
Beginning of War.
On January 16, 1864, Prussia and
Austria sent an ultimatum to Den
mark demanding that the constitution
of Schleswig be withdrawn within two
days The Danish foreign minister
pointed out that as the Danish parlia-
ment was not in session this was i'm
possible.
The Prussian troops masSed on the
Elder at once crossed the frontier and
war began. Austrian troops Joined
the Prussians and the Danes fought
valiantly but unavailingly against the
invaders. The fortress of Dupple fell
on April IS and the Danes, driven
island of Alsen. There came pause
in the war and II conference of the
powers was hastily assembled in Lon
don. But Bismarck would listen to no
compromise and the war was renewed.
1t was now clear that Prussia de-
signed both the duchies for herself;
but while Austria saw this she was
scared by fire in the rear" For,
taking advantage of Austria's engage
ments elsewhere, Italy was threaten
ing Yenetia Prussian troops had al
ready crossed the borders of Jutland
and were prepared for advance.
Denmark surrendered and the peace
treaty was signed at Vienna on Octo-
Der 30. By it Denmark relinquished
both duchies to be administered joint.
ly by Austria and Prussia.
The Colorado statesman., 1919-07-12

The treaty of Vienna, signed in 1864,
between Denmark on one side and
Austria and Prussia on the other, put
IN end to the war which the two Inter
powers had been waging against the
CORNER and tore the duchies of Schles-
wig and Holstein from the Danish
crown. The revolutionary spirit which
had swept Germany In 1S4S had grad-
ually died away and a period of re-
action had set In. Nowhere was the
reaction so strong as In Prussia. In
