The German-Danish Border: The Successful Resolution of an Age Old Conflict or Its Redefinition?

4.9/5 (18356 ratings)

Description:This is to my knowledge the only complete history of the Danish-German border dispute in English. After annexation by Prussia, the area of Schleswig-Holstein became part of the German Empire and was then considered a "dead issue". It nevertheless reappeared as a burning political question after both world wars. Germany's borders in both East and West underwent major changes in 1920 and 1945. Why this did not also happen in the North in spite of the desire by a majority of the local native-born population in German South Schleswig to return to their Danish roots, is a fascinating story that deserves to be told in full. It demonstrates that national identity and language may not always be identical. The British occupying powers in the German area of South Schleswig were faced with a dilemma following the collapse of Nazi Germany. From being an inconsequential minority of less than 5% in the last free German elections before the advent of the Nazi regime, the pro-Danish political movement grew to embrace a majority of the population and demanded their right of self-determination. This border question which scarcely reached public attention outside of the immediate area of concern was nevertheless crucial for the entire constellation of great power relations. Any alteration of the boundaries actually reached in 1864, at the Versailles Peace Conference 1919-20 and following World War II (1945-47) would have had dramatic and far-reaching consequencesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
