German Wars of Unification: The Battle of Mysunde, 1864 (Part 1)

The Second Schleswig War of 1864 was a pivotal conflict that ignited the flames of unity and reshaped Europe's destiny. Germany, divided and yearning for unification, saw in this clash an opportunity for change.
Led by Otto von Bismarck, Prussia sought to establish a unified Germany under its leadership. The war between Prussia, Austria and Denmark, fueled by territorial disputes, witnessed intense battles and devastation.
Beyond the bloodshed, the war served as a catalyst for German unification, solidifying Prussia's position and laying the groundwork for subsequent conflicts that reshaped Europe.
Ultimately, this momentous conflict heralded an era of change, leading to the birth of the German Empire and leaving an indelible mark on history.

Prince Friedrich Karl was known for caring greatly about the lives of his soldiers, and was reluctant to use them in costly attacks unless he had no other choice(something which contemporary Prussian commanders were critical of, but which I admire him for). But it is still impressive that the Danes stood their ground against such a superior opponent.

Being a Dane interested in History and living about four kilometers from Mysunde (pronounced: Missunde) I have a small, but in my opinion important correction: The new King Christian IX didn't contemplate much as he took over the crown on the 13th of November and signed the November Constitution on the 15 th. The government more or less presented him with an ultimatum: Sign or ...! indicated his forced abdication. Being of the House of Glücksburg he was personaly eager to maintain at least that part of Schleswig as part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but his efforts were (as we know) in vain.

9:50 Besides there also being other interests at play the formal reason for declaring war on Denmark goes as follows. Holstein was part of the German confederation however connected with Schleswig via Personal-Union. Denmark annexing Schleswig therefore de facto also means ending Holsteins independence. This was considered a breach of the Articles of the German Confederation, hence war. The Danish king also probably knew his actions would lead to war yet he was basically peer pressured by parliament and Danish nationalists to sign.

[@PalleRasmussen]

And also, the rampant nationalism in both countries at this stage made a clash inevitable.

[@thomasbaagaard]

There was no legal personal union between the two duchies by 1863. The duchies where in a personal union with the Danish king, since he was the duke. The union between the two duchies was an early 19th century invention, based of deliberate misinterpretation and exaggeration of a 300+ year old political deal that was no longer in effect. Sleswig was NOT a member of the German confederation and as such it had no legal right to meddle in internal matters within the Danish whole-state. The only justification for war was that this action violated the 1852 London protocols. (But the confederation was not a party to the protocols.) You are also forgetting/ignoring the fact that this action threw Holstein out of the Danish whole-state. You basically eat "German" 1863 propaganda uncritically.

[@frederickiiprussia7699]

Then in August von Borcke was appointed to the rank of major and appointed adjutant general to Stuart during the northern Virginia and Maryland campaign. After the battle of Kelly’s ford Stuart ordered Von Borcke to accompany the body of fallen horse artillerist John Pelham to Richmond for his burial. However, during the battle of Middleburg Brocke suffered a significant wound from a bullet in his neck and was incapacitated for the remainder of 1863. But by spring of 1864 he recovered enough to resume staff duties and he was present at the battle of yellow tavern in which general Stuart was killed in action. In December of 1864 Borcke was promoted to lieutenant colonel and then confederate president Jefferson Davis sent von Borcke on a diplomatic mission to Great Britain. After Britain he returned to Prussia where he resumed his career and fought in the Austro Prussian war on the staff of Prince Fredrich Karl of Prussia.

In the Austro Prussian war he wrote his enduring memoir of the American civil war called Memoirs of the confederate war of independence 1866 which recounts his two years service as a confederate cavalry officer in the army of northern Virginia during the American civil war.

Also you are greatly exaggerating the strength of the Danish fortifications. They where field fortifications for the artillery that was unmanned during peacetime and where not actually finished. The fact that the Prussians could take cover so near the Danish lines show this clearly. And they where no where near as strong as a real fortress. The main danish advantage was the fact that the danish artillery had cover and more importantly, knew the ranges to some of the different point in the terrain.
