Unitary State (Denmark)
Political term for the personal union between Denmark and Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Danish Unitary State (Danish: Helstaten, German: Gesammtstaat[1]) was a Danish political designation for the monarchical state formation of Denmark, Schleswig, Holstein, and Saxe-Lauenburg, between the two treaties of Vienna in 1815 and 1864. The usage of the term became relevant after the First Schleswig War, when a need for a constitutional framework for the monarchy was present, which ought to follow the premises of the London Protocol,[2] which prohibited a closer connection between two of the monarchy's possessions.[3] The political designation was ultimately eliminated after The Second Schleswig War and was replaced by the national state in 1866.
