Europe 1848: Truce of Malmö

In Northern Europe, international pressure persuaded Prussia and Denmark to bring an end to the First Schleswig War and sign the Truce of Malmö. By doing so, Prussia broke with the infuriated German Nationalists in Frankfurt, who were nonetheless forced to follow suit less than a month later. Despite the withdrawal of German forces, Schleswig-Holstein would remain independent for a few more years before Danish rule was finally restored.
