No, the dispute over the Danish-Prussian border that brought on a couple wars in the Bismarck era. The S-H Question was so tangled that a pol said “Only three people in Europe understand it: myself, Bismarck, and someone else (but he’s dead)”. You don’t get a lot of Schleswig-Holstein humor these days, but it made it to the Flashman novels.

(Tried to cut in a wiki explanation, but it was “Comment too long”. Of course.

Very cool, thanks. I hope you didn’t mind the Jutland digression.
