The end of the American Civil War was also disturbingly close to the horrors that would become WW1.

Even earlier with American civil War? Fortifications and siege like warfare emerging, use of balloons even machine guns (primitive) and the use of trains to move troops when mobilisation began, rifled breech loading weapons also to the fore, the rifled musket had had its day.

Actually I think the Danish used the Lorenz which is slightly newer then the Dreyse which was introduced in the 1840s. It was still a muzzle loader though

They weren't similar, they were basically the same - given the acorn-like lead bullet of a Dreyse is basically a minie ball. being a larger caliber, wounds would be even worse than the Civil War happening beore, during and after this war.

@@SStupendous Actually most Civil War rifled muskets were .58 caliber, so essentially the same size. I don't know if there was a lot of variation in how heavy they standardized their bullets at. As a boy my father took my late brother and I to Gettysburg and Manassas, and I believe it was at the Gettysburg battlefield they had this display of minie balls that had mushroomed. One recovered was bigger than an Eisenhower dollar coin. The North also had the advantage of repeating rifles

@@shawncarroll5255 I'm aware that most were .58 caliber... which ironically proves my point, the Dreyse shot an even larger bullet. In the Wars of Unification most European rifles were .66-69 caliber, and the Dreyse in specific shot the .66 acorn-shaped bullet. That creates an even more horrific wound, just as I said...

@@unknownuser8228 Deadass?

You danish are so stupid you have the minds of children you stupid danish pepole of 7 million

@Ponian KZfaq yeah that's why it's called the “Civil” war, because it was very civil and most people got along just fine back then, especially those educated Southerners. Yeah in reality my family came after both wars as Lincoln opened up the upper midwest for settlement with the homestead act and a lot of Danes like my own family came over. I guess they also invited their friends and family over the years because they kept letters and later on more of my family came over in the 1890s-1900s

If you are in Wisconsin or ever go there, the Danish Lt. who leads the charge in this scene (Dinesen), came to America and lived in Wisconsin for a short period of time and then returned to Denmark. The house he lived in (the Dinesen-Motzfeldt-Hettinger Log House) still exists. His daughter wrote "Out of Africa", which the 80s movie is based on.

cringe

the man behind the gun makes the most difference

Not if your gun takes over thrice as long to reload while not being much more accurate. Mass of volume is a class of itself.

i think both counts in this battle. The prussians had the technological advantage (which wasnt really relevant until that battle, all important battles before were fought between austrians and danes) and were also better trained (danes enlisted a lot of older men from the reserve due to lack of manpower and danish military service time was 2 years while prussia had 3 years). Another important disadvantage: the danes had not enough officers and many of the ones they lacked also training. With all that disadvantages on their side (not to mention 4 weeks of heavy bombardment), its quite impressive that they were able and willing to carry out this massive counterattack.

More hitting power, though.

chad

Many have fail to control when the infantry want a war.

That is sad. It is similar to our Civil War. Famous Generals in the U.S Civil war were friends of Generals on the enemy side. Ulysses S. Grant who fought for the Union, was best friends with General James Longstreet who fought for the Confederacy before the war. And even made Longstreet his best man at Grant's wedding.

Wow ich lebe praktisch direkt an Kappeln

You forgot to say that Danes in Sydslesvig were brutally germanised by the Prussians so that they voted for Germany in 1920. But historically it's danish territory!

I mean they did unify Germany, not sure if the "Prussian spirit" was such a good thing when it got them entangled into wars they had no hope of winning...

RAAAHHH!!!!!! ⚔🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Pick Denmark, we are way cooler

Fuzzy Peach those muzzle loaded guns were rifles as well, you know...

The Danes had muzzleloading rifles. You also might call them rifled muskets. But in any case, they fired Minie balls. They were pretty state of the art. In US Civil War terms, the Union army wasn't armed any better, and the Confederates were even worse for the first few years of war, still employing smoothbores in some units. It's just that the Prussians were the first (I believe) to arm their line infantry with breechloaders.

Julius Coyle actually in the very Deep South there were reserve units that ended up being called to fight and a lot of these reserve units used the cap that was standard during the Mexican American war twenty years earlier and also used muskets from the revolutionary war

J C Some Union units used smoothbores too, btw. But anyways OP, hopefully this makes sense: the Danes weren't really behind so much as the Prussians pulled out ahead. From what I understand they only implemented the new technology shortly before fighting Denmark, too! Luckily for them they put their faith in the new tech and it seemed to pay off.

They are cap locks which are faster than flintlocks so i guess its a improvment

Nice question because its so fucking different

It's actually a true precursor to the WW1, Trench warfare happened in Dybbøl Banke (Badass Museum there you should check it out) not unlike WW1 French observers in the war at the war commented ln thr horrid circumstamces the danes and Prussians suffered, if they only knew they saw the future. And goddamn it was only the beginning

barbed wire in 1860s WTF, why Prussians are reloading while standing, their rifles are breech loaded.

@@maleficusvictor9887 Prussians were still tought to reload while standing at Dybbol. Partly due to the tradition. It is also possible to load the Danish rifle when you are on your belly, it is just way harder

@@Tyrhor they fight against the austrian with these same Breech loaded rifle, and shoot against Them in Prone position.

It is more complicated than this. Schleswig, the region this was about, was ruled by the Danish Kings, but by tradition and affirmed by an earlier (1852) treaty, not legally part of the Danish state as such. Holstein, which was also ruled by the Danish Kings, was explicitly part of Germany (i.e. the German Confederation at this point) and had been so since the middle ages. That was not really in dispute. With rising nationalism in the 1860s, Denmark tried to incorporate Schleswig (but not Holstein) as a proper part of the Danish state. Prussia and Austria, representing the German Confederation, alleged (correctly) that this violated the earlier treaties and went to war over it. Prussia and Austria won and forced Denmark (and the Danish Crown) to relinquish all rights to Schleswig and Holstein (and a smaller, less important territory called Lauenburg.) That is the dynastic/legal background. The other factor is of course that basically, there were competing nationalisms. Schleswig (again, not Holstein, which was ~99% German-speaking) was split between Danish and German speakers, but nationalists on both sides wanted the entire territory for their respective nations. This problem thus lingered on until after WW1, when Schleswig was partitioned between Germany and Denmark based on a plebiscite. The last aspects of the question were only solved in the 1950s, when Germany and Denmark signed treaties protecting minorities on the 'other' side of the border. So, in 1864: a.) Denmark was legally in the wrong, but b.) the deeper cause was the rise of nationalism, which conflicted both with nationalism in other countries and with the old principle of dynastic inheritance and rule (consider that the Danish royal house was originally German). P.S.: Believe it or not this is actually just the very basic gist. The legal aspects are in reality far more complex than that.

Hmn why unfortunately ? The Danes where the aggressor in this war and even insisted on prolonging the war after a peace offer that would put the new border at the language border (same as todays) was provided by the Germans.

Fortunately* it wasnt enough and never would have been. The Prussians and my ancestors defeated the danes and proposed a Generous peace of wich (like the previous commenter already said) would have Led to a language based border. But the danish King was so sad, he just gave all of Schleswig to Prussia and even thought of letting all of Denmark be annexed. As sad as the loss of live may be, this War is responsible for the good (not perfect) border of today and could have even earlier. So no, that the charge failed is very fortunate, since further Conflict was averted due to it

True. Legalized murder. Look at the intentional saturation bombing of German civilians during WWII. It's only an atrocity if you are on the losing side. Like today in Syria, where the US and Coalition have racked up over 3,500 confirmed deaths of non-combatants, including many hundreds of children. But we don't see pictures of their cute faces in the news, and in fact rarely hear them mentioned. "Fascist, Democratic or Communist, there was ever but one State."

Well, during the Napoleonic wars they had probably the worst military out of all the superpowers. It is not all rainbows and stuff.

@Saint Brendan if not the French commune, France would have simply outmobilized Germany and win with numbers. Not beautiful, but it is result that matters. Germans knew it, so their plans for WW1 were built around one and only deadly strike to force capitulation of France and avoid war of attrition.

BENNOBEAR _ ok

Second Schleswig war. It says in the description.

rakki realm thats a big reason why prussia later defeated austria

The Prussians were quite honorable, but their soldiers put their country first before their own lives, they knew that they were fighting to unite the german people, this made them quite fanatical in their duty as a soldier, Prussia was known for their soldiers discipline and putting country first, I think this is why they portray them this way.

Drakon Its an awfully typical anti-Germanic sentiment at this point. The Teutonic peoples of historic context are not to be viewed as human by modern culture should mainstream society have its way. Through propaganda and overwhelmingly warped historical bias, modern Germany has been shamed into emasculation by most of the globe.

***** So are the Danes. Did you know that Rome also started as barbarian tribes? They just adopted Greek organization after they started to trade with them, and the Greeks adopted the Egyptians, the most important empires are those that adopt the most from other culture, while still keeping in contact with there own. Its quite ironic considering that Rome was a quite the fan of genocide and landgrabbing, they did quite a bit of it, the Romans also progressed culture of course, and almost every other field in a time that was extremely needed and important, this is why they were the most important empire in history, but most Europeans have Roman blood and ancestry, most Romans left Italia after the barbarian invasions, not to mention the marriages, Italy has mostly Lombard blood now which were the barbarians who took Italia after Rome fell. Its ignorant to say an entire culture bases itself on just war, if it did, it wouldn't exist today.

***** This worlds bedrock was founded by Rome, but it was built by the ex-barbarian tribes, the British were the most successful empire in history, but they based there entire ethic of dividing and conquering off of Rome, the Germans progressed society's musical, scientific, traditional, engineering, innovational culture to such an extent that Germanic culture is almost in everything, but Germanic culture, like all European culture, is based off of Rome. The British invent 55% of all inventions that are useful today, but it was based on Rome. Because an empire progresses society in the very distant past doesn't mean it can again, it means it was for that time, Egypt is responsible for almost everything below that, they made everything before the Greeks, they just failed to ever finish it were as the Greeks did finish it.

The Romans considered every culture that was too alien to them, and which they did not understand, as barbaric. This does not mean that there was no culture, only that this culture was very different to theirs. In general, there is always an exchange between cultures. Amongst the Germanic peoples there were always strong cultural characteristics which were maintained for centuries. The East Germanic tribes, in contrast to the Western tribes, refused to adopt the Latin language. Nor did they adopt the Roman law and the system of rule. It would be new to me, that a European nation of importance has not had very warlike times during their history. When the kingdom of the Germans was founded, it was never a uncivilized wasteland, it was always part of a thriving European culture. Certainly, Germany has been culturally influenced by other countries, but in return, it has also produced its own cultural impulses, that have influenced others. Asserting that the aggressive military expansion, and the genocide of the Second World War are the true essence of the Germans, is utter nonsense. The relationship of the Germans to this part of their history is complicated, and even 70 years later there are still debates in german society about various points. Germany has co-founded the EU, it was an important step to come out of the political isolation after the war. Many Germans still consider it as a political heritage and a promise for a peaceful future of Europe.
