Description
Great Britain and the Schleswig-Holstein Question 1848-64: A Study in Diplomacy, Politics, and Public Opinion
This book provides a detailed analysis of British policy and public opinion regarding the Schleswig-Holstein problem from 1848 to 1864. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including correspondence, memoirs, newspapers, and parliamentary debates, Professor Sandiford examines how Britain's approach to the issue was marked by division and uncertainty.
The author argues that Britain's failure to resolve the Schleswig-Holstein problem was due in part to a series of miscalculations that began as early as 1848. This study sheds new light on the role of the queen and her ministers in shaping British policy during this period, and provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved.
