The map shows areas with predominantely danish speaking population respective predominantely german speaking population as well as areas with mixed languages. Germany attacked in february of 1864 and was victorious after a few months of combat and Denmark had to give upp Schleswig, Holstein and Sachsen-Lauenberg. Denmark regained northern Schleswig in 1920. The attack on Denmark was to a great extent a function of the german unification process and the desire of Denmark to tie Schleswig tighter to the motherland.
