The Prussian Government suddenly declared war on the Kingdom of Denmark, leaving King Christian IX of Denmark the most bewildered of all; he had no idea what was happening when the war broke out.
In 1863, Christian IX had just ascended the throne, and soon after his accession, he amended the constitution to incorporate the Schleswig-Holstein Duchies into the Kingdom of Denmark, which was the cause of the Second Prussia-Denmark War in history.
In this timeline, Christian IX did the same. Naturally, it incited the rage of the people in the Germany Region, and the three countries of the region issued warnings.
However, since the Paris Conference provided them with legal support, and these territories did not border Austria, the Vienna Government only roared a few times and then let it be.
Without Austria taking the lead and with support from the Russians, the Kingdom of Denmark successfully merged the Two Principalities.
