		The Second war of Schleswig (also known as the Danish war or the Danish-Prussian war) was fought in 1864 between Denmark and Prussia.

		This Second War of Schleswig of 1864 was presented by invaders to be an implementation of the law of the Confideration (Bundesexekution) in Germany.

	History in Focus: War - Response to review of The Northern Wars
		Muscovy was still primarily committed to the southern frontier, where Astrakhan did not fall until 1556, and the Northern Wars were really begun by the unexpected collapse of Livonian resistance to the Muscovite attacks in 1558-61 and Muscovy's failure to secure its conquests.
		If I did not deal at length with the roots of the Danish-Swedish wars in the breakdown of the Kalmar Union, this was because I was not primarily interested in origins, but impact: there is a similarly sketchy account of the background to the wars between Muscovy and Poland-Lithuania.
		The book was never intended to be a narrative account of the wars — something which would have been twice as long and would have bored most readers (and me) to death — and I had to concentrate on the main conflicts.
