Treaty of Lübeck

The Treaty of Lübeck, signed in 1850, was an agreement between Denmark and Prussia aimed at resolving conflicts over the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. It established a framework for cooperation and promised to maintain the status quo, preventing immediate conflict. The treaty sought to manage the complex national identities and political interests in these regions but ultimately failed to prevent future disputes, leading to the Schleswig-Holstein War in 1864. It was significant as a diplomatic effort to stabilize the area, though its limitations contributed to subsequent tensions.
