Second War of the Bavarian Succession

The Second War of the Bavarian Succession (1838-1839) was a conflict primarily between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Prussia over the succession of the Duchy of Limburg and certain territories. The war arose when disputes over inheritance and territorial boundaries emerged following the death of the Duke of Bavaria. Tensions escalated into military engagements, but the fighting was limited and the war came to an end with the Treaty of Munich in 1839, confirming previous agreements and avoiding significant changes in territorial control. The conflict highlighted the intricate politics of German states in the 19th century.
