Auszug:

Denmark’s King Christian IX offered Denmark to Germany in 1864 in an attempt to prevent the division of the country, but Germany declined, according to newly-opened records made available to an author by the country’s current monarch Queen Margrethe II.

According to the report, King Christian IX secretly offered Prussia’s Wilhelm I that Denmark could become part of the German Confederation in an attempt to avoid the monarchy losing Schleswig and Holstein after the wars of 1864.

The reasoning behind the offer appears to have been that while Denmark would lose its sovereignty, it would maintain its territories intact.

The new information appears in the ‘Doomsday Als’ book by Tom Buk-Swienty which is due to be published in late August. Denmark’s current monarch Queen Margrethe II opened Christian IX’s private archives for the first time in connection with research for the book.
