Most of the population
is of German and Danish heritage. The Kiel Declaration of 1949 and the
Bonn-Copenhagen declarations of 1955 led to an improvement in German-Danish
relations, especially since the German- Danish conflict was one year prior in
1948.
In 1918, events in Schleswig- Holstein had wide-reaching repercussions: the naval mutiny at Keil led to the November Revolution of that year, bringing with it an end to the First World War and to German monarchy.
Schleswig and Holstein weren't always the same state, they were their own states owned by Germany (Schleswig) and Denmark (Holstein) before the second Schleswig war between Germany and Denmark in 1864.
