Background
[edit]Scandinavianism
[edit]1829 is traditionally considered to mark the start of Scandinavianism as it was proclaimed that Sweden and Denmark no longer had any reason for conflict. Scandinavism as a movement sought to strengthen the ties between the Scandinavian countries and to celebrate their shared heritage. While being most prominent among students, the movement did become large enough to influence the politics of Scandinavian countries. Oscar I of Sweden himself was a Scandinavialist. As a result of Scandinavianism, Denmark, and Sweden-Norway would be pushed closer together and both expected to receive aid from the other if a crisis arose.
Schleswig question
[edit]Denmark had often come into conflict with the German state over the territories of Schleswig and Holstein, even into the 19th century. Schleswig and Holstein were both duchies of Denmark though being a part of the German confederation, despite Danish attempts to formally annex the territories into the kingdom. Conflict over the territories would remerge during the 19th century due to the rise of nationalism throughout Europe.
