During the war of 1864 Denmark should've fought to the last man. Retreating after the battle at Dybbøl Mill and ceding Holstein to the Prussians is a breaking of their obligation to die as cannon fodder

You could have picked ANY hopeless last stand from 2000+ years of military history and you went for an obscure sideshow war in the German unification wars that less than 1% of humans are even aware of.

Impressive.

Thank you! I was hoping to start a thing where we went further and further back in time and obscurity. Sadly I chose something too obscure to being with

Ah glad someone else is aware of the second Schleswig war. The ACW was nothing compared to the moral battle going on there. Anyone who brings up the Confederacy is just like those tankies mentioning Azov and the shelling of Donbas.

I think of it like a turning point for Denmark, it was as if everybody got brainworms around that time, and then they never left. Yeah sure Denmark you can beat fucking Prussia lol. Okay you lost what will you do? Oh fuck up all the ecosystems, water streams and other, just so some farmer can get even more land? Super.
