The modern use of the term Scandinavia rises from the Scandinavist political movement, which was active in the middle of the 19th century, both revolving around the Danish-German dispute over the sovereignty of Schleswig. In the First War of Schleswig (1848-1850), Sweden-Norway supported Denmark with considerable military force. In the Second War of Schleswig (1864), the Swedish Parliament denounced the King's promises of military support, effectively ending the movement.

The movement had mostly been supported by students, and was encouraged by the king of Sweden, since King Frederick VII of Denmark had no heirs. If the movement had been succesful, the king of Sweden-Norway would have ascended the Danish throne following the death of King Frederick VII.


This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
 This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
