Kort over Als [cartographic material] /

Military map of the Danish Island of Als drawn in 1851 at the conclusion of the 1st War of Scleswig-Holstein. On the outbreak of the 2nd Schleswig-Holstein war of 1864, because the Danes broke their agreement and tried to absorb Schleswig again, Prussian and Austrian forces invaded on Feb. 1st, 1864 with the intent of occupying the Jutland. The Island of Als, a Danish stronghold in Jutland, was overrun and captured in June that year. Both duchies of Holstein and Schelswig were surrendered by Denmark to Prussia and Austria in the Treaty of Vienna, a military disaster for the Danes.
