Denmark, Prussia and Austria at war-2 volumes in one special edition Europe is familiar with wars which have ostensibly arisen from issues of succession among its monarchies. Most of these provided nothing less than a pretext for grasping advantages, and the Second Schleswig-Holstein War, fought in 1864 following the unclear succession of the Danish monarchy, can be seen as one of the several conflicts orchestrated by Prussia and Austria to establish themselves as dominant powers in Europe. This was not the first time the Schleswig and Holstein question had resulted in bloodshed. Originally affiliated to Denmark, the status of the duchies became more complicated, and the situation confrontational, as Denmark broke treaties in order to force integration. Outrage among the populations of the duchies escalated, since ethnic divisions had incrementally grown, making allegiances to one side or the other evident by trade, culture and language. Inevitably when the dialogue failed war was inevitable. Denmark was the underdog when it came to military might and proficiency, and the Battle of Dybbol resulted in Prussian victory. This in depth study of a lesser known European 'small war' was written by a journalist who was 'on the spot' throughout the conflict, and it benefits not only from an understanding of the causes of the war, but also from closely observed personal experience as events unfolded and escalated towards battle. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

1848 was a turbulent but momentous time in Europe. Within this context, the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein were caught between the rising nationalism and desire for unification of the Prussian/German nation states and the traditional alliances with the Danish Kingdom. The Schleswig Holsteiners decided that allegiance with the German Federation, including possessing their own constitution, was the best way forward. They rebelled against the Danish and looked to the Prussians with their greater military prowess for help.In Denmark, as in other European countries, the call for a democratic constitution caused social disturbance, triggered initially by the February riots in Paris. The Danish monarchy, in crisis, both constitutionally and in terms of monarchical succession continued to lay claim on their southernmost duchies and sent their armed forces to destroy the Schleswig-Holstein insurgents. The author describes the battles and battlefields upon which this crisis was played out: from the first major action at Bov (9 April, 1848) to the last major battles of the war, at Isted (25 July 1850) and Missunde (12 September 1850), from the geomorphic landscape influencing battlefield strategy down to the description of a farmhouse where Prussian officers jumped out of windows to save themselves from the Danish.

1971 erschien erstmals ein Band Hamburg und Schleswig-Holstein. Bearbeiter war Johannes Habich, später Landeskonservator in Kiel (1985-1998), dessen fundierte Beschreibung der hiesigen Kunstdenkmäler und deren Einordnung in die größeren Zusammenhänge der kunstgeschichtlichen Entwicklung das Interesse des Lesers nach wie vor wecken und zugleich auf die typischen Merkmale der hamburgischen und schleswig-holsteinischen Denkmallandschaften aufmerksam machen. Nun liegt eine dritte, aktualisierte Neuauflage für Hamburg und Schleswig-Holstein einschließlich Lübeck vor. Hierunter fallen die Berücksichtigung des gegenwärtigen Forschungsstandes, die Einbringung der festgestellten neuen baugeschichtlichen Beurteilungen einschließlich konkreter Daten und die aufgrund abgeschlossener Restaurierungen und Instandsetzungsmaßnahmen gegenüber dem alten Text anders zu fassenden Beschreibungen. Außerdem erfolgt die Neuaufnahme weiterer Kunstdenkmäler des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, über deren Bewertung inzwischen Einigkeit erzielt worden ist und die eine sorgsame Auswahl erfordern. Hinzu kommt die Streichung von abgegangenen Denkmalen.

Das 550-jahrige Jubilaum der Ausstellung der Ripener Handfeste, bietet den Anlass, nach dem Verhaltnis zwischen Landesherrn und Standen im spatmittelalterlichen und fruhneuzeitlichen Schleswig und Holstein zu fragen. Da eine solche Ubereinkunft kein originar schleswig-holsteinischer Akt ist, tritt auch der Vergleich mit anderen Territorien des Reiches und europaischer Nachbarstaaten in den Fokus der Betrachtungen. So sollen Parallelen, aber auch Unterschiede der politischen Partizipation im Ubergang der Epochen analysiert und verdeutlicht werden.

During World War II hostilities in the Baltic Sea commenced on 1 September 1939 when the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein opened fire on the Polish fortress of Westerplatte and ended on 9 May 1945 with the final evacuation of German refugees from the Hela peninsula. In the intervening years battles raged back and forth between the confines of this cold cruel sea. The Soviets attacked the Finnish island of Russarõ on 30 November 1939 with an air and naval bombardment. The Russian naval blockade of Finland began and their submarines attacked merchant vessels in the Gulf of Bothnia and their ships engaged shore batteries and coastal towns. The German fleet then turned on their former allies and attacked the Soviet Union, each side’s submarines stalked the others and the Russians encountered disaster in a minefield. Finally the Russians retreated under heavy sea and air attack. The siege of Leningrad began in September 1941 and was not broken until 1943. In 1944 the Russian’s reached Riga, leaving pockets of stranded German troops on the Courland Peninsula. Then the Russian navy broke out – the race for East Prussia was on, sparking the biggest seaborne evacuation in history.

Taken together, three wars fundamentally altered the balance of power in 19th-century Europe: the Schleswig-Holstein conflict of 1864; the "Six Weeks' War" of 1866; and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. They marked the establishment of Prussian hegemony in central Europe, the creation of the Bismarckian Reich in 1871, and as a by-product the reduction of Habsburg influence and the collapse of Napoleon III's Second Empire. Showalter gives a full account of the international context as well as of the wars themselves and their consequences.
